William was born about 1750.
A possible baptism is William, aged 25, son of William and Sarah Fudge, baptised on 4 September 1774 in Hanham[1]
I haven’t found a marriage record for his possible parents, but the Gloucestershire archives website contains a marriage licence GDR/Q1/1749/entry number 89 for William Fudge of Bitton and Sarah Peacock, 22 May 1749. Bondsman and witness William Lear. The associated marriage record names the groom as William Lear. https://www.ancestry.co.uk/sharing/22789377?h=83ec32&utm_campaign=bandido- webparts&utm_source=post-share-modal&utm_medium=copy-url
