Gender Male Residence From 1813 to 1815 Woodford, Blackawton, Devon, England Occupation From 1813 to 1828 Thatcher Residence From 1824 to 1828 Milcombe, Blackawton, Devon, England Visiting 1861 Higher Heathfield Farm, Slapton, Devon, England - Visiting the family of Robert Mitchelmore and his wife Frances Perring Mitchelmore nee Hutchings. Both Robert and Frances were born Cornworthy; I thought they might be relatives but there is no obvious connection between William and the family.
Buried 25 Apr 1867 St. Michael’s Church, Blackawton, Devon, England - From SH website
Shown as aged 82, abode Millcombe
Siblings1 brother and 2 sisters Patriarch & Matriarch 
Notes - (Research):The gap in children between the 3 baptised when William and Catherine were living in Woodford, and the 3 baptised when they were living in Milcombe suggests they may have lived somewhere else, outside of Blackawton parish, in between.

The 1851 census suggest they may have had a dau Caroline - the census shows a 22 yr old Caroline living with her bro Wm and family. But I think this should probably be Catherine i.e. Sarah Catherine.
