• Notes

  William joined the army in 1798 and was discharged in 1819 when he wasa sergeant and was granted an army pension. In the 1851 census he isrecorded as blind and living at Shapwick and is a Chelsea (war)pensioner. Also in that census his wife is Ann. The BVI lists themarriage at Shapwick 17-11-1836 and notes that both he and Ann werepreviously married. No record of his first marriage has been found todate. (07-2004) Because he was in the Army his first marriage couldhave been anywhere and as William is such a popular name the onlychance of finding any further details would probably be in the 1831census. His army record contains only his age and birthplace. Ann'smaiden was Ann WHITE. Her first husband was Thomas WHIFFEN who shemarried 25-9-1806 at Shapwick, Dorset. Anne Preston the On Line ParishClerk for Shapwick (and many other parishes) found this informationwhen searching the Shapwick registers.
