I am looking for further information to what I have on the Wilsons of Ottery St Mary. My 4*great grandfather was William Wilson, and he had a number of children. He married a lady called Sarah Bovett. I would like to find more information about William Wilson

Hi

I've checked my Ottery St Mary Marriages from 1798 to 1837 and there is only one William Wilson marriage recorded - William Wilson married to Caroline Bastin on Sept 15, 1833.
On the IGI there is a Sarah Bovett married to James Wilson in Ottery St Mary in 1840
