  • Name William Patey ISSELL 
    Relationshipwith Teresa Ann GOATHAM
    Born Between 1796 and 1811  Chivelstone, Devon, England See the place on a map and other information about it - if available (many more will be in time); also all individuals with events at this location 
    • Age shown as 30 in 1841 (suggests born 1806-1811), 46 in 1851 i.e. b 1804/4, 62 in 1861 and 72 in 1871, both suggesting b 1798/9.
      Age at death said to be 80 i.e. born c. 1796!
      I think he may well have been born William Patey, but later used his father's surname. His own illegitmate son was given the middle name Patey, not Issell. Hence I think the following baptism may be his.

    • If I am right and William Patey Issell was the illegitimate William PATEY then who was his father?
      It would seem most likely to be a William Issell, but at the time of writing this note I am not aware of a William old enough.
      Interesting, in 1813 a Mary Patey married one William Ball in Chivelstone. It is easy to see how 'Isall' could be misread as Ball, so if the curate was given a note with the names of the couple he was to marry then the register could be filled in wrongly. William made his mark, as did Mary, and a witness Richard Ball also made his mark. But would they be likely to go through the whole ceremony with only Christian names used and no reference to the surname? And what about when the banns were read (the Curate, Benjamin Beynon, conducted the wedding; I have not seen the banns entry to see if he too read them).
      Just to make it more unlikely still that Mary was marrying a William Issell, there was a child of the marriage baptised as a Ball in 1815.

      If it was this William's mother marrying in 1813, I don't believe she was marrying his father.
    Also known as William PATEY 
    Residence From 1831 to 1861  The Village, Slapton, Devon, England See the place on a map and other information about it - if available (many more will be in time); also all individuals with events at this location 
    • Living in Slapton village with Sarah and Ellen / Elenor Crimp (1841 / 1851)
      While Sarah was shown as a servant in 1851, 'na' was shown in the occupation field in 1841.
      The 1851 census showed Elenor as visitor, not daughter.
      In 1861 William was living by himself, still in Slapton village, though Sarah was still alive, working on a farm in the parish, but Ellen was nearby in the village, working as a housekeeper.
      In the date shown here I am assuming William was in Slapton by the time his daughter was conceived.
    Occupation From 1841 to 1851  Slapton, Devon, England See the place on a map and other information about it - if available (many more will be in time); also all individuals with events at this location 
    Ag lab 
    • Surprisingly no occupation shown in 1861 when William seems young enough to have still been working.
      In 1871  his son-in-law was shown as an ag lab but William was not shown as having any occupation
    Residence From 1871 to 1876  West Charleton, Charleton, Devon, England See the place on a map and other information about it - if available (many more will be in time); also all individuals with events at this location 
    • With his daughter Ellen and her family.
      He was still living in Charleton at the time he died.
    Died Mar Q 1876  Kingsbridge Reg Dist, Devon, England See the place on a map and other information about it - if available (many more will be in time); also all individuals with events at this location

    Patriarch & Matriarch
    Elizabeth Colin PATEY,   d. Yes, date unknown  (Mother) 
    Notes 
    • Name shown as William Patey in the 1841 census. The fact Sarah gave her son the middle name Patey rather than Issell suggests William may have been going by this name at the time.
      (Shown as William P Hisel in 1871, I guess a mis-reading of Issell by the ennumerator when he filled in his forms.)
