Harlow Born 1945
About William
William Harlow wed his way into the Rootwell household in 1969 and soon turned its standby counsel — penning testaments, winding up estates and, best of all, attesting the paper chain behind each limb of the chart.
A painstaking hunter, William gave his later years to matching Edith’s book against chapel and census sheets, mending dates that had passed unchallenged for decades.
