Biography

Daughter's marriage certificate says he was a shoemaker...

Some trees having William (b 1776) as the son of Susannah Blow, but I don't think so (see W-590).

With the 1841 census we knw that the one who married Jane and living in Forden was born abt 1776, and we have a good birth for him (1774, Forden)... and with the 1851 census we know that the one who married Elizabeth Powel was born abt 1787 in Chirbury and we have a good birth for 1786 in Chirbury to John and Susannah.
