- 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.
