The Hungerford to Mary Watty / Watly marriage took place on 9 Sep 1813 in Cirencester. image of record on Ancestry.
witnesses were James Parsons and Maria Spary.

So the Hungerford who died in 1823 had another wife (Esther) briefly between the two Elizabeths. According to the will he had a daughter Avery. The Avery buried in 1822 would be about 9 years his junior, possibly a sister and he named a daughter after her.

Hungerford (died 1823) age at death gives a birth year about 1765. This is a good match for Hungerford bapt 16 jan 1765 s/o Robert and Anne (nee Strong) Whitfield. Robert and Anne also had a son Lancelot bapt  31 Dec 1766, but not found an Avery born abt 1774 yet. Robert Whitfield married Anne Strong on 15 Aug 1757 at Stanford itV. He was abt 24 (calc from baptism). If she was similar or a bit younger it would be quite possible for her to give birth in 1774.

Hi LizzieL

Stanford  in the Vale;

Avery Whifield bapt. 23-1-1774 s/o Robert & Ann - (as this entry is immediately below
another "s/o"  .........  its possibly an error - only a check can verify whether it should be a daughter)

No it doesn't say anything like 'my now wife' all it says referring to his wife is:

I give and bequeath unto my dear Wife Elizabeth for her own use absolutely or
the Legacy or Sum of Three hundred Pounds of lawful British money

No other clue.

I've found two Averys and both were male, I don't know why I thought it was a girl's name!
The two I've found were son of Hungerford and the first Elizabeh and the son of his brother Lancelot and his wife Mary nee Hatt. (from familysearch).

The children I have found for Hungerford and Elizabeth Hunter are
   i.   LEVI WHITFIELD, b. Bef. 22 Aug 1790, Stanford in the Vale.
   ii.   AVERY WHITFIELD, b. Bef. 10 Jun 1792.
   iii.   WILLIAM WHITFIELD, b. Bef. 11 Nov 1793 presumably died before 1798
   iv.   ELIZABETH WHITFIELD, b. Bef. 22 Feb 1795.
   v.   ANN WHITFIELD, b. Bef. 16 Oct 1796, Stanford in the Vale; d. Bef. 07 Dec 1801.
   vi.   WILLIAM WHITFIELD, b. Bef. 01 Jul 1798, West Challow.
   vii.   JOSEPH WHITFIELD, b. Bef. 20 Oct 1799, West Challow.

Hungerford and Esther had one child
   viii.   ANN WHITFIELD, b. Bef. 27 Aug 1803, Stanford in the Vale; d. Bef. 30 Oct 1803

and with Elizabeth Painter
   ix.   ROBERT WHITFIELD, b. Bef. 19 Feb 1805.
   x.   ANNE WHITFIELD, b. Bef. 31 Jul 1814.

Levi, William and Joseph appear on 1841 and later censuses in the Stanford itv area.
Avery is in Cricklade in 1841 with wife and 3 children, one son called Hungerford.
Robert might be the one buried on 6 Mar 1851 in Wantage, but I can't find him in 1841.
Ann and Elizabeth may have married, so would be more difficult to track down on censuses unless they died before 1841.

The will of the Robert who married Ann Strong has been transcribed on OFHS

http://wills.oxfordshirefhs.org.uk/az/wtext/whitfield_002.html#Transcript

Two of his daughters married Belchers, so I don't know whether the two Belcher grandaughters are sisters or cousins. Or whether the Belvcher bridegrooms are brothers.

The Robert b abt 1699 and the one I believe moved from Gloucestershire to Berkshire also has will transcript on OFHS

http://wills.oxfordshirefhs.org.uk/az/wtext/whitfield_001.html

He married Eleanor and after her death it looks like he married Mary Brittain as in an earlier post, judging from some of the beneficiaries in the will.
