Mentioned in the will of cousin William King Byles
Inscription suggests a second wife called Ann. This would appear to be Ann Cole with marriage on IGI in Hemley, Suffolk. Oddly, there is another marriage a few days later in Norwich, Norfolk - but with a younger Jacob Sizer and Ann Cole. Some more investigation needed to verify this.
Buried 15th June 1837.
