Looks as if this might be his burial:

Prees
16 Feb 1876 John Huxley, Abode Wem, aged 87.

Again matches John s/o William baptised 1790 born 1789

As you suggested, it looks as if he took 20 years or so off his age to narrow the age difference.

Looking at the rellies with him in 1861, Austins (probably mother and daughter) and Mary Beddow. Don't seem to appear anywhere before or after.

If it helps, the one we identified was

Prees  bpts
25 July 1790
John son (aged 1 year and 6 weeks) of William Huxley, weaver,  and his wife Mary formerly Hopwood (see Reply #22)

We ascertain that he'd reduced his  age by 10 or so years  because of the wide age gap between him and Elizabeth

Hi, just an update. I have found more children for William and Mary.  George 1790, Jane 1792, Sarah 1794, Ann 1799, I just need to find proof that these children are Williams and Marys. We already know about John 1789, Thomas 1801 and Another George 1803.  think i found this on Ancestry. Thanks for all your help
