  Family	Elizabeth FRANCIS,   b. Abt 1732,   d. 12 Jan 1775  (Age ~ 43 years)
  Married	14 Sep 1762	Crediton, Devon, England
  	From the DFHS index of PR entries The bride's surname assumes she was a spinster when she married; as her age at death suggests she was a few years older than her husband she may not have been. With both William and his wife dying relatively young, leaving children aged about 6 to 13, they were brought up by their grandfather who didn't die until 1801 - by which time the youngest was aged 28.
