Notes
- According to [1], William was made heir to Wm Brown's lands at Woodcoates in 1730.
- In William's marriage licence to Caroline Sweetaple, he is listed as bachelor which seems to suggest that the William Billyard of Fledborough who married Ann Hasting is a different William Billyard. However, there does not seem to be two separate families in Fledborough circa 1728 that each had a William Billyard of nearly the same age.
