William Waldron 22 Oct 1752 Devon, England died May 1824
Who did William marry and did he come from beer?
I know he had a daughter called Elizabeth who was born in Beer Devon about 1782
She married William Cawley from Beer Devon.

Elizabeth's baptism gives her mother's name as Mary:

Most of the records I can see have the family under "Walden" rather than "Waldron", including on Elizabeth's marriage to William Cawley:

William and Mary had several children in Beer; the earliest appears to be Jane in 1780:

This would support this marriage being the correct one, so his wife was Mary Barrett:

Married in 1779. He was a resident of the parish of Seaton and Beer at the time, but the marriage took place in Mary's parish of Dowlish Wake in Somerset.

I don't know if it's my brain letting me down (very possible, as I've had the most awful cold for weeks now), but I can only see a possible burial for William in Beer in 1827?

Gives an estimated year of birth of 1745.
