Known children are Eliza (my 2xg-grandmother) b 1820 Chew Magna. She names William on her marriage cert and he is living in her house in 1871.

James b 1822 Chew Magna and is in his father's house in 1851.

I don't have baps for either of these children.

You've probably seen these before, but FreeREG has a baptism for an Elizabeth Easton 9 Nov 1823 Chew Magna, parents William and Ann, abode Sutton, father's occupation Labourer. And an Ann 13 Jul 1828, and a Rosena 16 Oct 1831.

[kiterunner]

Oh, right, I see both Anns and Rose Eana are with him in 1841. Then Ann(e) sr is buried 4th Jun 1846 at Chew Magna, age 57, abode Bishop Sutton (again from FreeREG.)

FreeREG probably didn't exist when I last looked at William! I think because I didn't have the baps for Eliza or James I wasn't confident to say Wm was married to Ann when the children were born. I think I need James' bap as well to be certain! I'll have a further prod about. Thanks very much Kate :)
