Name Joanna LEAKER Relationship 
with Teresa Ann GOATHAM Born Est 1727 (probably), Chudleigh, Devon, England 
- Joanna was of Chudleigh at the time of her marriage; estimate based on date of marriage and age of husband, but especially as I have found no conclusive evidence of children for her there is quite a span of years over which she could have been born
Gender Female Buried 5 Feb 1785 Ss. Peter Paul and Thomas’ of Canterbury Church, Bovey Tracey, Devon, England - No burial to fit in Ideford, and this is the only one in Bovey to fit (her 2nd husband was of Bovey Tracey when they married so they may well have lived there after marriage).
However, there are no notes in the register or an age which could confirm or disprove this.
From PR entry (image on FMP, viewed 10 Aug 2014):
"Joanna Langley the 5th of February paid" - under heading '1785'
Of the burials on the page 18 are recorded as 'Paid', 17 as 'Poor' or 'Pauper' - this refers to the tax that was payable on Parish Register entries - which were a requirement - at this time.

Family 1 John ENDACOTT, bap. 6 Oct 1717, St. Mary the Virgin Church, Ideford, Devon, England , bur. 16 Jan 1754, St. Mary the Virgin Church, Ideford, Devon, England (Age ~ 36 years) Married 27 May 1752 Exeter Cathedral, Exeter, Devon, England - From PR entry (image on FMP, viewed 4 Aug 2014) "John Endacott of Ideford in the County of Devon Yeoman, and Joanna Leaker of Chudleigh in the said County, Spinster, were married the 27th. day of May 1752"
There appear to have been no children of this marriage; I guess that it was this John who died in 1754 and his widow the Joanna Endacott who married in 1756.

Family 2 William LANGLEY, b. (probably), Bovey Tracey, Devon, England , d. Yes, date unknown Banns of marriage 1756 Ss. Peter Paul and Thomas’ of Canterbury Church, Bovey Tracey, Devon, England - "Banns of Marriagw were publish'd on these three several Sundays
between [blank space] Langley of this Parish
and Johnanna Endacot of the
Parish of Ideford" - dates not given in the register, entry appears between those for a couple married on 25 July and on 22 August 1756.
Banns of marriage 25 Jul 1756 to 8 Aug 1756 St. Mary the Virgin Church, Ideford, Devon, England - "Banns of Marriage between Will:m Langley of the Parish of Bovey Tracy
and Joanna Endicott of this Parish
were published on the three Sundays underwritten:
That is to say, On Sunday, the twenty fifth of July ^ {1756} by me F Kennell Curate of Teingmouth
On Sunday, the first of August ^ {1756} by me Philobeth Domett Vicr. of Bovy Tracy
On Sunday, the eighth of August 1756 by me Gilbert Burrington Vr of Chudleigh"
Married 22 Aug 1756 St. Mary the Virgin Church, Ideford, Devon, England - From PR entry (image on FMP, viewed 4 Aug 2014) "William Langley of Bovey Tracey & Joanna Endacott of this Parish were married with Banns August 22 - - 1756"
(the entry was not in a new style register and no witnesses signed)
No indication of whether Joanna was a widow or spinster, the marriage could be of John's sister Joan, but I think she had died - I haven't come across another Joan whose burial the 1751 event could be.
In Bovey Tracey (where William was 'of' at the time of marriage so likely to have been where they lived) there were children of a William, possibly of this couple, baptised:
23 Jan 1759 - William
27 Jan 1761 - Samuel
2 May 1771 - Humpherry
