Hi all, thanks so much for your help with William.
Sorry for only thanking now - been moving back to uni.
Very interesting Neale1961 thank you!
I will try and contact the Dorset FHS and hopefully they can help me over email as I am a long way from Dorset

.
Thanks Carole also.
If William did not die before Caroline remarried this will be the earliest case of this kind I have on my tree. An odd scenario, nobody with him in their tree knows anything about him.
Thanks again!
