I wasn't sure how onerous a task it would be to look up so many, after hearing about the three documents an hour, so I didn't want to overload you. If it's easy to do 20, that's brilliant!
Here's the list (so far -- c 1835 - 1860)
CUST 47/614/1 -- William B Price, 9 [middle initial could mean it's someone else]
CUST 47/629/1 -- William Price, 45
CUST 47/637/1 -- William Price, 14
CUST 47/638/1 -- William Price, 83
CUST 47/656/1 -- William Price, 114
CUST 47/658/1 -- William Price, 107
CUST 47/665/1 -- William Price, 163
CUST 47/669/1 -- William Price, 144
CUST 47/676/1 -- William Price, 123
CUST 47/680/1 -- William Price, 31
CUST 47/687/1 -- William Price, 75
CUST 47/691/1 -- William Price, 73
CUST 47/695/1 -- William Price, 79
CUST 47/707/1 -- William Price, 98
CUST 47/708/1 -- William Price, 108
CUST 47/711/1 -- William Price, 62
CUST 47/715/1 -- William Price, 37, 57
CUST 47/716/1 -- William Price, 90
CUST 47/720/1 -- William Price, 75
CUST 47/726/1 -- William Price, 25
While trawling through these indexes, I was just looking for someone who could be William Price. There were men with the same surname but different initials, who were easy to discount. It has only occurred to me now that some of the ones I wrote down said 'William' or 'Wm' and some just said 'W'. It's possible that some I have claimed are actually for Walter Price, another name I saw there somewhere, but not of interest.
I'll go through the earlier and later indexes and see if I can add any more to this list in the next few days.
This man or his parents were said to be from Ellesmere, Shropshire, but he may have spent most or all of his career in Ireland. His eldest known child was born c 1846 (location unknown). His last known child was born in 1857 in Co Tyrone, and he is described as excise officer, deceased, on his daughter's marriage certificate in 1873. His wife and children lived in Coleraine, Londonderry, after he died. His wife, Elizabeth, died in 1896 aged 72, in England.
Thanks, StevieSteve, I really appreciate your efforts with this.
Cheers
