It may be to late to add this to this thread...
The William son of John (my ancestor - I spent ages trying to prove it was this William rather than the son of Faithful - this thread helps prove it) was a thatcher in Halse in 1861. This points to the William son of Faithful being the one you are looking for.
Also if your William died in New Zealand, this helps prove the William on the burial records in Halse is William son of John - so thank you.
