Hi Slowhands,

The only other bit of info I have on William Edwards (apart from the Christening and the Marriage) is that he appears on the 1841 census aged 89 living in Newland on his own. As the census entry and the Marriage put his birth in 1752 I have assumed that the Christening (got via Ancestry, not on this site) in 1752 is the same William Edwards.

If it helps, William & Esther went on to have the following children:-
Thomas 1782
Hannah 1785
William 1787
Elizabeth 1798
Charles 1801

wife Esther
