Popular name Vernal/Vernall/Vernalls. and it is still around the area today.
The IGI shows a birth for a William Solloway Vernall in 1833 son of Thomas and Mary in Avenbury. They had a daughter too called Emmet.
There was a Thomas Vernall marrying Mary in 1834, another Thomas Vernall marries a Mary in 1820, James Vernall marries Mary in 1829, and William Vernall marries Esther in 1822, all In Avenbury.
One of the Williams married an Emma in Avenbury in 1868. So he is not yours as your William was away by then.
Do you have any other clues such as marriage certificates with witnesses on or a father's occupation ?
Perhaps we could try to follow the 3 Williams on the 1841 Census through for elimination. What were the details of the 1841 Vernalls in Avenbury ?

Perhaps I should say that the Vernalls are not part of my family, but I am doing the research for a friend whose husband is ill, and who doesn't have a computer. She had collected info on 2 or 3 generations and I am trying to go back further for her. I do not have a marriage cert for William who married a Charlotte Constant in Birmingham in 1863, but I think I will have to send off for it.
There are 25 Vernall (& variants) in Avenbury in the 1841 census in 4 different households. There is a William, aged 7, living with Mary Vernall aged 45 and Elizabeth aged 4, presumably his mother and sister. I think that Mary was probably the Mary George, wife/widow of Thomas Vernall.
The second William, aged 5, living with: John Vernals 50 Ann Vernals 50 William Vernals 50 Thomas Vernals 25 Mariah Vernals 20 Ann Vernals 20
There is a John and Ann Vernall who had a daughter Mariah bapt in1816, but so far I haven't found a Thomas or Ann.
Thre is also another William aged 5 living in nearby Much Cowarne, son of a Thomas Vernal and Mary!!!!!!, also in the household Wm and Ann Watkins boh aged 75. This William is the William Watkins Vernalls who is on the Family Search site as the son of Thomas Vernalls and Mary George as an entry with app birth date from an LDS source.
I am continuing with trying to put all the known baptisms into family groups.
Regards Eric

A Thomas Vernalls died in first quarter 1841, so that is posibly the husband of Mary with 7 year old William in 1841 Census.
I do not think she was nee George, as William Watkins Vernalls in the Household of William and Ann Watkins of Much Cowarne is down as the son of Thomas Vernalls and Mary George. Could Mary have been a Widow when she was married to Thomas ? Watkins could have been her maiden name, and she is home here with Mum and Dad.
