William Elliott - Birth and Death?

[Daffern2020]

Hello everyone, struggling to find a birth and death for this man.

He married Hannah Mills in 1796 Wickwar, Gloucestershire. It notes him being from Westerleigh and Hannah from Wickwar.

I think they have 7 children together in Westerleigh:

Ruth - 1797
John - 1799
Sarah - 1802
Ann - 1805
James - 1808
William - 1811
Robert - 1815

Hannah Mills, I think I have her baptism in Iron Acton, 1775 to a Robert and Sarah. Can't find a death for her though.

From Robert's baptism and a possible marriage, I believe William works in the coal industry. The possible marriage for Robert in 1845 lists his father as being dead, I also don't think he or Hannah made it to the 1841 census. Lastly, sometimes it's written as 'Elliotts', with an S.

That's all I have. Can't seem to find anything that looks right for him.

Thanks for reading.

There is an outside chance, William could have been married before. (or a relative) ...  as I've checked with the Forest of Dean Marriage Licence and Bonds and there is this one

William ELLOTS aged 27, labourer : residence: Westerleigh
Eleanor SMITH aged 28 - single woman

marriage by Licence

Sworn before Chris HAYNES to marry at Pucklechuch

and then the Bond copy

24 September 1782

I see they have a different Hannah, Hannah Pride married 1792. No source on their. Looking elsewhere  it looks like she marries a Thomas Elliott not a William. Not sure what's going on with that.

Interesting.

Initial search: Can't find a death for Eleanor.

Children baptised in Westerleigh:

1783 Thomas Elliots to a Willliam
1784 Hannah Elliot to a Willliam
1785 William Elliot to a Willliam
1788 Hannah Elliot to a Willliam
1791 Joseph & Mary Elliotts to a William and Mary
1794 Mary Elliotts to a William

Not too sure if there all William and Mary. If they are it looks like William and Eleanor didn't have any children together. But interestingly, these dates do fit within the 1782 marriage and 1796 marriage.

Taking the age from the first marraige:

William Elliots baptised 1754, Chipping Sodbury to Samuel and Hester.
William Elliot baptised 1757, Horsley to William and Ann

Thanks for taking a look.
