Burials re the Quaker family.

Sarah widow of William died 20 August 1766
Sarah daughter of Sarah died 6 February 1765
Joseph son of William died 10 February 1759
William Kerby died 17 March 1768 - this has to be the son as his father William had died before 1766.

Probate of William 1768. on ancestry, late of London now of New Magna Somerset, all to brother Benjamin.  If he has died then to his kinsman James Anson? of the parish of St Phillip and Jacob in Gloucestershire.
No wife or children mentioned.

Thanks for all of your efforts - much appreciated.

It is looking more and more that the Bristol Kerbys are not connected to our Kerbys and  the fact that they were both watchmakers is just a coincidence
