Hi Jeff,
Thank you so much for your reply,Were you really up till 2:40 am posting it ?

You are on the right track as the William I seek is the one who married Sarah Newton Hunt,as you rightly say no parents are declared on the marriage entry,hence the dilemma.
The witnesses Richard Lowe[believe a church warden] was married to Sarah Newton Hunts sister and the Lowes and Malson's lived in the same property in Lady Grove Abenhall[on 1841 census].I think Hannah Thomas was born Malson [she may have married twice] Daughter of Richard Malson and Hannah formerly Yearsley.
For a while the William Milson born 1780 was a front runner even though the dates did not match,however this bubble burst when it was brought to my attention that a memorial stone in St Briavels Church yard gave his demise .This stone commemorates the death of William Milson Lieutenant on HMS Minotaur which was lost off the Dutch Coast in 1810 with most of the crew,having struck underwater rocks.

As you can see i have been down this route, sadly with no luck ,I do thank you for input as any clue may just produce the answers i require
Best Wishes Harvo
