William Boyce 1775 - 1816
1775. William Boyce was baptised to Charles & Elizabeth Boyce in Evercreech on 3/7/1775. Ancestry. Evercreech~ 7 m. from Wells. Think she might have been Elizabeth Bull
1797. William Boyce married Jane Coles in Evercreech, Somerset on 4/6/1797 - Ancestry
William & Jane had the following 8 children baptised to them in Evercreech: William Bull 1798, Charles 1801, Elizabeth 1802, John Coles 1804, Stephen 1807, Ambrose 1808, Jane 1810, Robert 1814 - Ancestry & IGI
1816. William Boyce, 40, was buried 1/1/1816 Evercreech - FMP N Burial Index
1817. His youngest son must have been born after his death and the family then moved to Wells . Thomas Boyce was baptised 5/1/1817 in St Cuthberts, Wells, Somerset, to William & Jane Boyce- this only on Ancestry, not IGI! But no other recorded William to Jane marriage in Somerset , so I assume the fatherless family moved to Wells during 1816.
A William Boyce, aged 81, was buried 16/2/1837 Evercreech- he a~1756 birth, so unlikely to be ours. -FMP.
