Notes - William worked in the shipyard in Belfast for the White Star Line and helped build the Titanic. He was supposed to sail on it as well, but Mormon missionaries talked him into a later sailing. He immigrated to Idaho, USA on the ship, Corsican, on 28 JUN 1913.
William and Jennie were childhood friends who married young and were happy together. She was 3 months pregnant when they married. They had seven children, only three survived to adulthood.
As a Mormon, William appears to have been a practicing bigamist. He was married to his first two wives at the same time.
