Very little has come to light about William. No record of his birth or marriage can be traced in the online records and he has not been found in the 1841 census. His name has been obtained from an entry in www.geni.com (see below) and from information provided by Muriel Taylor on 1st July 2009. (Muriel is the Great Great Granddaughter of Thomas Edgington, born 1798, who was William's younger brother.)
According to Muriel, William was born in 1795 at Wootton, Berkshire.
William and Maria's first child together was Harriet (born third quarter of 1837) so the couple would probably have married in the 1830s.
Four further children followed, all of whom were born in Abingdon, Berkshire:
Sarah (Q3, 1842), George (Q1, 1845), Eliza (Q4, 1847) and Jane (Q2, 1850)
William died in 1850. Again this is information provided by Muriel. The 1851 census does record that his wife, Maria, was a widow by that time.
