Notes - (Research):Not researched thoroughly, not central to GOTHAM One-Name Study. No sign of a marriage in Morchard Bishop, there was a William BILLING who married in Cadeleigh, not too far from MB, in 1809. Age in 1841 census consistent with this However, there was also a William BILLING baptised in Sandford, an adjacent parish to MB and also close to Cadeleigh, in 1785 so need to look for evidence to disentangle the two, and check for others as this is an area with quite a few BILLINGs.
