ALL descendancy charts follow the surname only and
exclude people born
within the last hundred years.
• Linked names will take you to the chart for that
surname, with the
focused person at the top of the page...
• Unless
the linked name is at the top of the tree, in which case, you'll land
back on the chart of direct ancestors.
• Hovering over a name, date or event should reveal
brief source
information.
• Smartphones mess up the layout. Rotating to landscape mode can

* WE need to keep an open mind about marriages #2 and #3. #1 and #4
are connected through Edward Parsons, guardian to his wife's
half-siblings; #3 and #4 are connected through the 8th Light Dragoons
(it's plausible that Elizabeth would associate with another sergeant in
her late husband's regiment); but the only thing that connects #1, #2
and #3 is the bride's name.
I haven't
yet been able to establish which regiments John Voysey and John
Dougherty belonged to. That would help solidify things. As would burial
entries for husbands #1, #2, and #3 and a marriage entry for husband #4.
What
is in favour of the marriage sequence above is the timing of the
children's births (1799, 1801, 1803, 1807, 1809, 1810, 1812, 1816
and 1817): their spacing is that of siblings.
