I am getting so muddled with this .
It appears I have been looking at the wrong William Feakins and I have gone to the watts side of family and this is wrong I think ,I have not had the time to go though my mistakes at the moment do to illness. But looking at the info on here I have to go back to a starting point.

Thank you for all the info you have let me see, I can get a lot from this , But I must have time to go over and connect with what I have.But thank you once again,
.

It will be good if Kenneth will come back to the thread, to let us know if he has any other info about William.

PM sent.

I expect that's this couple, RG - so not the William Kenneth is asking about, although probably some relation.

EDIT:
Having investigated further in this post, it's hard to know which William is which.
