The marriage of William and Tamar was recorded twice, once mentioning the father's names.

In 1851, William, age 37, born in High Roding, was living in Beauchamp Roding with his wife "Thamer" (33) and children John (13), Jane (11), James (9), Sarah (7), Eliza (5), and Joseph (1).

In 1861, William, age 47, born in High Roding, was living in Beauchamp Roding with his children Sarah (16), Eliza (13), and Joseph (11).

There was a death registration for a William Reeve in 3q 1863 in Ongar Registration District, age 50, which matches well with this William. No burial has been found in the index for William, and it appears there are no burial registers available for searching more recent than 1812.

Research Notes

Note that the eldest son John was baptized two months after their marriage.
