Marriage transcript: “St. James Parish Church, Kilkhampton, Cornwall William Andrew of (this) Parish and Honor Grigg of (this) were married in this (Church) by (Banns) this first Day of January in the year one thousand eight hundred and seven by me, John Davis (Rector) This marriage was solemnized between us: The X’s of William Andrews, Honor Grigg, signed In the Presence of Charles Grigg & Thomas Andrew. “ William is described as a yeoman.
In Kilkhampton church records, marriage of William Andrew and Honor Grigg, they were married on the 1st of January 1806 [1807?] and both noted as of the Parish of Kilkhampton. Honor was able to sign her name and Willilam was not. The witnesses were Charles Grigg and Thomas Andrew. Charles was Honor’s brother [also the name of her father] and I suggest it is very unlikely that Thomas was not William’s. I suspect the family were from the nearby area of Bridgerule or Holsworth (cf. Bill Glenn email to Donna Martin).
- 1807: in baptism records for their son Thomas: William being born 1781, a journeyman, married 1807, lived in Lynnsworthy.

- 1816: He was noted between 1816 and 1824 as a yeoman in Lymsworthy near Kilkhampton, Cornwall. The Oxford English Dictionary defines a yeoman as “a man owning and cultivating a small estate, a freeholder under the rank of gentleman”.

- 1833 He died on 6 Apr 1833 in Kilkhampton, Cornwall.
- 1833 Burial record: 9 Apr 1833 william Andrew, Langford, age 52

Tombstone in Kilkhampton Anglican Church Graveyard:
“Sacred to the memory of William Andrew.
Late of Langford in this Parish.
Who Departed this Life, April the 6th
in the year of our Lord 1833 in the 52 year of his AGE.
“Into thy sweet and lovely arms,
I now resign my breath;
Washed in my Saviour’s precious blood.
There is no second death.
To sleep in Jesus. O how sweet.
And soon I shall arise.
To meet my glorious living head,
With triumphs in the skies.”
