Does Emma say she is a single at this marriage?

I am tending to think that she has married John... met William and fell pregnant to him... John has then left, or maybe had already gone anyway? maybe after John has gone she has become pregnant to William, seems coincidental that she has given the child the christian names of the man she later marries. Maybe they waited so many years to see if John would return, and when they thought he would never come back, then decided to marry, wouldn't be the first to marry without divorcing. John seems to have fell off the face of the earth doesn't he.. wonder if he emigrated. Can't se a definite death.

does Priscilla name dad on her marriage and does she put him down as deceased?

If it were me I would be following the Bennett line, I feel he is most likely dad.. and he has brought William up anyway.
