William married Charlotte Bowden about 1 Jan 1853. Charlotte was born about 1 Jan 1834 and died 30 May 1892 in Port Pirie, South Australia, Australia about age 58.
Children from this marriage were:

I don't know any more about John Knapman but he may well have had siblings in the Exeter area. I have more details about the Australian family though.
