William was born about 1846 (1) in Rickmansworth, Hertfordshire. He married Ann Slatter in 1865 (2) . The FMBD site gives Williams GRO as 3a 584, but on checking the original records it is 3a 504 and matches that given for Ann Slatter.
Ann Slatter was born about 1841(1) in Haddenham, Buckinghamshire. I have not been able to find her baptism.
Wiliam was a Carpenter and Joiner. He and Ann settled in Bushey, Hertfordshire, where they had 5 children. They later moved to Oxhey, Watford, Hertfordshire.
