Having looked at all the William HAINES (and variants) I think William was born about 1821 in Thatcham son of Giles and Amelia (ALLEN) who married at St. Mary, Thatcham on 24 Nov 1816. William was previously married to Mary Ann PALMER in Newbury RD, Sep Qtr 1844 and had the following children with her John ca 1846 Elizabeth ca 1848 Sarah ca 1850 George ca 1854 Charles H ca 1856 Tom ca 1859 Edgar ca 1864 Mary A Haines died in Sep Qtr 1866, probably in Speen where she was born about 1826 (1851 & 1861 Census) Ann (HUNT) is a widow again by 1891 and the only entry in Berks Burial Index for a William is the entry for 23 Feb 1888 at St Mary the Virgin, Speen which has age as 74. This would make him born about 1814 so am not sure if I have the correct William after all ;-( Ann HAINES was living in Newbury age 66 in 1901 Census and BBI has a burial for a 68 year old Ann at St. Mary Thatcham on 14 Dec 1904. -- John Lewis Debian & the GeneWeb genealogical data server
