Notes for Joseph Priestley
He may be ancestral to or related to the Joseph Priestley whose daus Sarah and Mary married the brothers William Busfeild and Johnson Atkinson Busfeild respectively.
TFPL, Apr 2005: I doubt the above paragraph. It is looking far more likely that JP my ancestor had nothing to do with White Windows.
TFPL, Sep 2016: But he is clearly ancestral to the baronet Edwards family of Halifax and of whom the first baronet married Maria Churchill Coster the sister of Eliza Coster who is a PL ancestor via the Gilletts and Trotters.
