Yes just saw the William's will you refer to. https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/3:1:3Q9M-CSJW-4W53?view=fullText&lang=en&groupId=

Looking at Parish Baptisms in Carlton, Cambridgeshire for the period 1770-1790 there doesn't seem to be any large gap of missing data.

The idea that William & Mary moved to Long Sutton, Hampshire between 1777 (first William's death) and 1785 (Susan's birth) does seem likely. Especially given the unique spelling of "Edrupt" at the time.

I'm trying to trace back the surname Edrupt in St Neots, Huntingdonshire.

I've currently traced back my genealogy to a William Edrupt (Edrop) (b. 1744) married 1774 to Mary Maling (b. 1745) who lived and raised their family in Carlton, Cambridgeshire.

However I've found earlier death records of four people with the surname Edrupt in St Neots; Moses (d. 1776), Ann (d. 1781), Elizabeth (d. 1784) and Mary (d. 1786).

Does anyone know of any connections between the Edrupt family in St Neots and Edrupt family in Cambridgeshire? Or any more information on the four individuals listed above?

Note some possible different spellings of the surname might be Edrop, Edropp, Edropp, Edrrupe, Edrup, Edrupp, Ederup.

Interestingly I don't seem to be able to find any records in Huntingonshire for any of these surnames after 1787. 

Regarding the Joseph Edrupt born in 1830-31, from my research I believe he was the son of Charles and Martha, and he died as an infant in 1832. (Note: William Edrupt, first husband of Lydia, died in 1826, and Lydia remarried to James Aves in 1832).

I have found a Joseph Edrupt baptised 27 July 1820 to William and Lydia at Burrough Green. I believe he is the Joseph Edrupt (misspelled Edrup) who died 1859. The Cambridge Chronicle and Journal 15 Jan 1859 mentions an inquest into his death. He died aged 38, seemingly of an "epileptic fit".
