William was born about 1748 and baptised on the 18th December 1748 at Wandsworth, Surrey, England, the son of William Blackborn and Frances Blackborn^[1][2].

William was occupied as a victualler^[3][4].

On the 5th November 1773, William married Ann Ray at All Saints, Wandsworth, Surrey, England^[5].

In 1810, William was the executor of the will of his son William^[4] who died about June 1810 and this may have prompted him to write his own will.
