I don't get it

I'm getting confused here. William Sacheverell was the son of Henry Sacheverell, yet Henry was born in 1674 as the "son of Joshua Sacheverell"! Weren't William and Joshua brothers? And is their father the other Henry Sacheverell? I need to know, okay? --Angeldeb82 (talk) 15:13, 10 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Governor of the Isle of Man?

It seems he was also Governor of the Isle of Man for a while, ca. 1688, unless that's another William Sacheverell. Source:
