1001 This marriage is the only sensible William Dell marrying a Mary in Devon on IGI. This matches the transcriptions from the Devon FHS. There is another marriage at Burrington, towards Barnstable, in 1795, but there is no reason to assume this is more likely. It leaves a gap on IGI between this and the firstborn in 1782.

Some sites have the marriage year transcribed as 1792. I have picked 1781 as although the Bishops transcripts are just that, they are contemporaneous. IGI has the year of marriage transcribed as 1782.

Note - although the bishops transcription of the marriage says William came from Clannaborough and Mary from Bow, the transcript for their son Richard says "son of Wm and Mary Delve of Clannaborough" 
Family: William DELL / Mary HEARD (F266)
 
1002 This marriage record appears to be the most sensible.... I can find no record of suitable baptisms before Mary in 1731, in Owermoigne or any nearby village or town. So there is a gap between the marriage and the first child, but perhaps not unreasonable either.

The marriage record says they were both from Owermoigne, so I am not sure why they were married in Dorchester, and it is possible that one or both of them had worked there or that Joanna was pregnant (but no baptism record to say this) 
Family: John GUY / Joanna SANSOM (F400)
 
1003 This person is the best match for the name, and whilst it is surprising to move from Yorkshire, Yorks, Lancs and Cheshire is where the Holts appear to come from originally.

Aaron's name is HOLT at baptism and burial but HOULT at marriage and when his children are baptised

He and Sarah may also have had a child Ann, chr Baldock 8/12/1782 but the gap in time is surprising....

His burial says he was 70 (ie born 1837) but the 1840 record is the only online record that is in any way consistent. National Burial Index says he was buried at St Nicholas, Stevenage
 
HOLT, Aaron (I468)
 
1004 Thomas appears to have been born months after his brother Thomas (1780-1782) died.

Baptism transcript says that his parents were William and Eunice (Information on the web says nee BRIDGES) 
WOOLSEY, Thomas (I271)
 
1005 Thomas Henry WEBB appears to have married Emma SHEPPARD 27/6/1920 (though the father's name not correct). Emma and their 8m old son, Thomas, are with his mother at the 1921 Census. WEBB, Thomas Henry (I164)
 
1006 Thomas probably married Sarah JAMES 30/10/1711 in Zeal (aged 15 but perhaps 16 if he was not baptised immediately after birth). There are no obvious records after this. BROOKLAND, Thomas (I845)
 
1007 Thomas' parents were Charles and Elizabeth

There is a Thomas PENNIKET of Silver St., who is admitted to Freedom of City of London as a licensed victualler in March 1835, operating from the Coopers Arms in Golden Lane. It also gives his father as Charles, so it seems likely it is the same person. He appears as the licensee in 1840. So it is possible that this was how he started, and then something went wrong, and became an engraver?

Deceasedonline has his burial 3/4/1877, in Camden but the slightly later date from Findagrave has been used. In any event, it is also possible that this is the burial date, and so the death date might be 3/4/1877. 
PENNIKET, Thomas (I653)
 
1008 Thomas's parents were John and Elizabeth.

Thomas probably appears in the North Tawton census of 1800 as "THOS WILLKAY occupation SHOPKEEPPER age 28"

There is also a Thomas Wilkey from North Tawton who gets indented as an apprentice to a tailor in 1781, but this seems unlikely. I can find no other record of a Thomas Wilkey being baptised in North Tawton between 1755 and 1780, which suggests that I have not seen all the records, and thus the details here may not be our Thomas. 
WILKY, Thomas (I1343)

1027 Unclear what happens after this. I cannot find any deaths between 1891 and 1901, cannot find her in a census in 1901 and cannot find a marriage. BENNETT, Emily (I879)
 
1028 Various possible marriages or deaths between 1851 and 1861 but none are conclusive. The most likely is perhaps a death in Jan qtr 1861, Southwark vol 1d, p27. MONGER, Sarah (I45)
 
1029 Virtue's parents given as John and Edith. VEY, Virtue (I1010)
 
1030 Was his birthday 14 Feb (like Edward Joseph Valentine Desborough)?

Edwin appears to marry Eleanor HOUSTON (his housekeeper in 1911) in Jan qtr 1915, Pancras.

Meanwhile his wife appears in a census at Canterbury for both 1901 and 1911, in 1901 with all 4 children, and in 1911 with her father. So either they had separated or it was just that at different censuses each needed to be with a parent. There is no obvious evidence of Hannah after 1911 in death or marriage indices. 
DESBOROUGH, Edwin James Valentine (I548)
 
1031 was previously at "Sarah Park", Sticklepath BENNETT, George (I611)
 
1032 When her children are born, she is known as MALKIN, but the burial details suggest that the surname given here. Certainly it is the only possiblity of those available on the internet.

Parents are Robert and Ann 
MAKINGS, Elizabeth (I266)
 
1033 When she was baptised, her father William and the family were living at 2, Ponsoby Rd, Westminster.
Marries Louis COOKE abt 1893, probably Jul qtr, Chelsea.
He may have died 1929 and she in 1931, both in London 
WARWICK, Laura (I890)
 
1034 Whilst I dont have a copy of the marriage record, the fact that the most sensible marriage matches somebody with the right DOB given at the 1939 Register, and she is a beneficiary in her mother's will (though not her sister), means that this is assumed to be correct and included in the data.

So she marries Ernest W PURTON (or William E, albeit crossed out to Ernest William, in the 1939 Register), Apr qtr 1932 Lambeth. The 1939 Register has EW Purton born 28/9/1902.

Note that she lived next door to her sister in retirement. 
WEBB, Gladys May (I116)
 
1035 Whilst the evidence for William emigrating to Australia is circumstantial and is predicated on the name being present in Australia and not in the UK in the latter part of his life, travel documents, names of his parents and the relatively unusual name, it nevertheless seems the most likely option and so is included in the data here. I have not found any evidence for his sailing from the UK to Australia.

This story is popular on the internet, though there is no further evidence on the sites and trees I have seen.

So in addition to the data above, the following elements of the story are considered likely....

He travelled from London on the Glamis leaving 2/3/1878 from London and landed at Maryborough in Queensland 30/5/1878.

He married Sarah SALISBURY at Petersham in 1885

The will information (he died intestate) says that he was an engineer, and in Gulgong. There is a William Vey at ?Lagoon Paddock? in Gulong in the 1891 New South Wales census, but this gives little other information of value or corroboration of the story.

He appears to have died in Newtown, NSW, close to Rookwood where he was buried Both are close to Petersham where he married. They are circa 150 miles from Gulgong, so he was probably working away from his wife and home, The burial transcript says he was an Old Wesley christian.

The burial transcript implies he died on his 36th birthday, however there is probably an error in the transcript. Internet trees suggest he was born 29 Jul 1856 and although there is no evidence for this, it is consistent with the BMD index. 
VEY, William Gregory (I945)
 
1036 Whilst there is no very strong evidence that this person is Aaron's father, and his occupation is not consistent among all the quoted children the unusual nature of the name suggests that this is all correct.
Best data from IGI and findmypast says that Aaron was bap 26/1/1705 in Ripponden (near Halifax), son of Edmond, and lived at Soy (?Soyland, about 4 miles SW of Halifax?). He married Mary ROBERTSHAW in York 3/6/1735 (both given as coming from Halifax - he aged 29, she aged 21). He was buried at Halifax 15/12/1749, and is described as a labourer. 
HOLT, Aaron (I493)
 
1037 Wiliam appears in the Electoral Roll between 1920 and 1964 at 316, Coldharbour Lane, with Minnie.

There is a closed record (presumably a child) on the 1939 Register 
DESBOROUGH, William James (I522)
 
1038 William and Kate appear in the 1934 and 1939 electoral roll at Westways, Monk Fryston. This matches the 1939 register, which also gives the road as Water End. Family: William Francis JACKMAN / Kate FENTON (F309)
 
1039 William is married in the 1871 Census to Mary Ann. Her maiden name is HOLLINGSWORTH (b abt 1843 in Oxford), as evidenced by the error in the 1881 Census for brothers Henry and James. I cannot find any evidence for Mary Ann before the 1871 Census. She is there as Henry's wife, I believe, in 1891. IMPEY, William (I402)
 
1040 William joined the Royal West Kent Regiment on 11/12/1915, where he stated his home address to be "Riverside Cottage", Wateringby, Kent, and his occupation to be a ?Floorman? in a Brewery. We stated his age to be 25 years and 30 days. He served in Iraq, landing at Basra 22/5/17, and returned home 22/11/1919.

He marries Florence E CRIPPS in Maidstone Apr qtr 1921. 
CLISBY, William Albert (I230)
 
1041 William married Anna Maria GAZE (born about 1825 in Norfolk) 28 Sep 1855 in Portslade, Brighton. She died Oct qtr 1862 and is buried in Steyning district. At the 1861 Census, there is a nurse staying and there are no children. Anna's sister Jane is also there. The census returns suggest Jane was born in Norfolk around 1828. Jane and William get married 12 Jan 1864 in Swansea. William is a widower and Jane is a spinster. William describes himself as a Master Mariner. All correct. It is not clear why they married in Swansea.

In the electoral roll of 1861 for Trunch in Norfolk, William is recorded as Skyles William. It says he owns the freehold of a house "at the back of the church". Presumably this is in Back St., behind St Botolphs church. Brother Robert also has a house nearby.

They move back to Norfolk, possibly associated with the death of his father Skyles. At the 1871 Census, the family is next door to his brother Robert.

Note - there is another William Skyles Juniper, son of Robert, his cousin. This other William marries Jane Lea (who came from Kent) in 1870. So there are two families with William Skyles and Jane Juniper. Fortunately these are younger (born circa 1845 and 1848 approx).

Probate was not granted till 21 Nov 1904, more than 5 years later. Elizabeth Juniper was the recipient of £358 - not a pittance, but maybe not a huge amount, given that the family appears to have been relatively well off. I wonder if there was a family dispute about who would receive the money. I do not know which Elizabeth this is, but he does have a daughter Elizabeth. The probate says "spinster", but I have not yet discovered if his daughter married or not. When his wife Jane died 20 June 1900, probate was not given until 16 Apr 1907, again to Elizabeth.
 
JUNIPER, William Skyles (I964)
 
1042 William's navy records says

He was a carpenter, and I think his first posting (or he started) with the Royal Navy was 1 Nov 1864. So in the marriage notice he is William George Hull RN. He was promoted to Carpenter 2nd Class on 1 Apr 1870.

It is not obvious what he was doing from 1 Nov 1864 to 13 Mar 1869, presumably he had a role onshore.
He was carpenter on board "Fancy Fawn" from 13/3/1869 to 23/2/1870
on ?"Unicorn" from 24/2/1870 to 19/3/1875 (?posted overseas?)
on "Favorite" from 12/10/1875 till he was posted overseas 20 Dec 1876. During this time she was a First Reserve Guardship off the East coast of Scotland (hence the birth location of son Leonarrd)
on "Aboukir" 7/4/1877 to 20/8/1877... in Jamaica Yard?
on "Urgent" 21/8/1877 till his death .... in Jamaica Yard?
at Jamaica Yard 7/4/1877 till his death.

The records note he was "promoted for XXXXXXXX". Also alongside the Jamaica posting line, that "Capt ?Maddox? is recommending him for Jamaica says he is well spoken of XXXXXX good certificates"
He died of Yellow Fever 19 Mar 1878.

HULL, William George (I1113)
 
1043 William's roots are unclear. There are internet trees with his birth as 1741 but no location or evidence for this. The most probable on the internet, given his marriage date and his children is 1747 at St Mary, Earlham, Norwich, son of William WOLNER and Sarah. However, it is not obvious why he would move to a fishing port like Great Yarmouth, nor does he name any of children Sarah. So it is not definite.

There is also Edward WOOLNER and Anne (WRIGHT) in Great Yarmouth around the same time. They married 1777 and had Edmund (1779-1794), Martha (1783), James (1787) and probably others. I wonder if they are brothers, but if they are there is even less evidence on their birth and parents. 
WOOLMER, William (I971)
 
1044 William's spouse is the most likely from the evidence available, and the only possible problem is that Benjamin his (step) father is a WEBB not FREEMAN, but this is probably in the interests of keeping things simple and maybe not everything was told to the clergyman!!!!!!!
 
WEBB, William James (I30)
 
1045 Witnesses to the marriage were William WOOLNER and Noel POLE(?), who appears to have witnessed several marriages. Mary WOOLNER appears as a witness to other marriages, and so this is probably the Woolner's local church. Family: Edward WOOLNER / Elizabeth FEATHERS (F358)
 
1046 Wright Izzard is a very unusual name. IGI for England reports 28 instances for exact match on christian and surname, but essentially they come down to:-
a) Wright being born to Wright and bapt 1693 in Willian.
b) There are other children born to Wright in Willian and baptised in 1696 (John) and 1713 (Michael). The mother is given as Frances and so it is assumed she is also mother of Wright bapt 1693
c) There is Wright marrying Ann ROWE 21/11/1780 in Great Paxton, Huntington
d) There is Wright and Sarah having a daughter, Sarah, baptised in Willian in 1722. The presumption is that this is the same Wright as baptised in 1693. (See also below).

Using IGI with the exact match switched off for christian and surnames, but again for the whole of England and with "birth" dates from 1680-1745 results in 77 hits, with the following additional information:-
e) Wright and Frances have Sarah (1699) and Elizabeth (1710), in Willian
f) Wright and Sarah have John (1718), Daniel (1725), Elizabeth (1727) and William (1730), all in Willian

Again with IGI in England looking for exact matches of Wright as a Christian name born between 1690 and 1730 (the likely maximum range for the family we have) leads to 82 matches, none of which are practical. The most likely would be Wright IVES bapt 1724 in Buckinghamshire. Switching off exact match increases this to 257, but none look likely.

Findmypast identifies the wedding of Wright and Sarah EVERET on 13/4/1715 in Willian. (Interestingly George IZZARD married Sarah GRAPES in May. Is George a brother, not found in IGI above?)

There is a Wright IZARD who voted in the poll in Sept 1727 in Hertfordshire, Willian.

There is no evidence of a Wright Izzard marrying a Mary. It may be that Wright is actually William - if so, he may have married Mary WALKER 11 Apr 1832, both from Baldock and had some children with him as William...There are possible William's from Hertfordshire that fit this date (1709 is the most obvious)

So my current theory is that this Wright Izzard was actually William (bap 1730). This makes him about 16 when his daughter was born. This means they may not have married, and moved from Willian to Stevenage (about 6 miles).... William took his father's name to perhaps disguise things further?????

There are burials of Wright Izzard in 1764 and 1730 in Willian 
IZZARD, Wright (I378)
