Daniel is described as a blacksmith in the will of Edward LEWIS - so that fits perfectly.

I am a very happy bunny!

For your notes.

Daniel Billing married man buried 25 October 1793 age 64 son of Daniel Billing and Elizabeth late Elizabeth Lewis spinster. Sculthorpe.  (BT's)

Daniel Billing burial 8 January 1731/2 at Thursford.

There is an Admin Bond at the NRO it will probably just tell you who was the administrator of his estate not how it was distributed. ref: ANW 1731 no. 96 Thursford.

It looks like they only had the one child, before he died.
