Suggestions for further research

Although it would be good if [H8] Thomas Buller's father could be identified, this seems extremely unlikely ever to happen. The likelihood of ever identifying the father of [H9] Joan Buller is even more remote. This just leaves a possible research priority of locating the marriage of [H11] Thomas and [H12] Mary Buller.
