Hi, does anyone have any information about this chap please?
So far I have found out that William Cadwallader was a blacksmith, native of Ludlow who lived in Leominster. He was hanged at Hereford Goal (in 1816) for the murder of his wife Mary Herrington (in 1815).
There is a Cadwallader family in Ludlow around the same time who were also blacksmiths: Richard Cadwallider aka Wallett (1744-1833) and his son Thomas Cadwallader (1770-1816), blacksmith/farrier of Mill Street, Ludlow.
Any further info would be much appreciated

There are many stories online about the murder etc... what kind of info were you looking for? His parents? or what?

It does say he was 28 when hanged so born around 1788. Seems like this could be a candidate:

Hi,
thanks for the marriage dates info!

Yes, I'm looking for the names of William's parents and both sets of grandparents. One of the reports about the murder states he had done the same as his grandfather! I am interested to find out more.

Thank you
