William was baptised on 6 January 1786 in Mudford.[1] His parents were Sansom Applebe and Ann Serjeant. His parents had been married in Mudford on 5 April 1780.
William was a carpenter.
He married Elizabeth Mansell on 21 May 1811 at St John’s Yeovil. The witnesses were Jane Brook and Robert Taylor. He signed his own name in a clear hand.
William and Elizabeth had seven children together, Jane (1812), Sarah (1814), Henry Mansell (1816), Mary Ann (1818), Sansom (1820), James (1822), William (1824).
In 1841 William was living in Mudford with his wife, and their children Jane, Sansom, James and William as well as a Caroline Applebe (possibly their daughter, although I haven’t found a birth record for her) and a three month old girl, Jane Applebe. Unfortunately the 1841 Census doesn’t provide relationship details.
William died on 17 June 1849 of effusion (or fluid) in the chest. He was 63 years old.
