Entry in The Pastoral Notebooks of Wallis Hay Laverty, rector of Headley 1872–1928:

There are ten entries in Ancestry Public Member Trees for Percy Jesse Glaysher with combinations of the above, one giving his date of birth as 20 December 1885. One adds that Herbert Dopson and Mary A.M. Glaysher Martin (mother?) were witnesses at his marriage. One adds "It seems that Percy Jesse Glaysher lived with Elizabeth Wheeler & James Wheeler from the age of 6, and from evidence it seems that his biological father, William Glaysher, died at the age of 29. However, because the Glaysher's were a big family, it looks as if Percy's biological mother could not afford to keep all of her children, and so, Percy was the nephew of Elizabeth Wheeler, and it was here he stayed up until the age of 16 "
