Bigamous Marriage

Found him in 1861 transcribed as Bish on FindMyPast, age is 55, Amelia has become 40. Difficult to read POB for birth.

I'm struggling to keep up with who's who, but as no-one has done a decipher yet, I think this is Savernake Park.

Savernake Park looks good, Wikipedia says it's near Clench Common

In 1834 William Bint and Henry Bint both of Milton were sent to the house of correction in Devizes for 2 months for breaching the game laws.

There's a Henry Bint bapt at Preshute on 29 Oct 1815, s/o Joseph and Elizabeth, so looks like he's William's younger brother. So that puts William in Milton after Ann's remarriage and before he married Amelia.

Do we know name of William's father and what William stated as occupation on the 1840 marriage?

I personally think the William BINT. Shoemaker who died between 1827 and 1832 is likely to be a different man
It would be hard to have bigamous families in such close proximity and I don't see someone going from shoemaker to labourer

Its quite common to have cousins of same age and name . So it would help to find any proof of name of either William's father.

But could be related

Up until I discovered that Charles's father was a shoemaker and Amelia's husband was a labourer, I thought it was one William, but I agree to go from a shoemaker to a labourer is unlikely.
I think the 1806 baptism in Preshute residence Park aka Savernake Park is Amelia's husband. Brother Henry can be found on censuses and his birth as Savernake park / Extraparochial is much clearer.

For Charles's father there are several candidates in West Berkshire not so far away. There is a William with Charles as a father bapt 01 Jun 1806 Lambourn. He might be worth eliminating.

Clench Common is a dot of a place, not in the forest. I’d guess the Park would refer to the forest and land around Tottenham House, a stately home in the forest

There is a burial in 1830 Newbury which might be the William b 1806 in Lambourn and fits nicely with the time frame for the death of William Bint (Charles's father)

The George Awbrey who is a witness to William B and Ann's marriage is also a shoemaker. He married in 1840, signature the same as witness on W B's marriage. Images on Ancestry. GA was born abt 1809 Marlborough.
