Name William ANDREW Relationship with Teresa Ann GOATHAM Born Abt 1768 Devon, England - From the 1841 census where shown as aged 70, pointing to a birth between 1765-1771, and burial register and gravestone which show him as aged 76 when he died, suggesting he was born in 1768.
Baptised 7 Jan 1769 Sheepstor, Devon, England Gender Male Occupation 1841 Burrator, Sheepstor, Devon, England Farmer - Listed separately in the same house were 19 year old Maria Mealem(?) - occupation unclear, maybe F.S.? (female servant - probably domestic) and 3 M.S. - who were probably employed on the farm.

GRO ref: ANDREW, William q1 1845 Tavistock RD 9 343; GRO online index shows age at death as 76
Buried 19 Jan 1845 St. Leonard’s Church, Sheepstor, Devon, England - From the DFHS index of PR entries (on FMP, viewed 14 Apr 2013)
Shows abode as "Nattertor?" - I suspect it was still Burritor. Dartmoor Press transcript also shows abode as Nattertor.
Age was given as 76 which agrees with the birthdate range suggested by the 1841 census and the 1851 census shows that William died before then.

Father Robert ANDREW, bap. 4 Nov 1745, St. Leonard’s Church, Sheepstor, Devon, England , bur. 22 Apr 1781, St. Leonard’s Church, Sheepstor, Devon, England (Age ~ 35 years) Mother Sarah BOUNSALL, d. Yes, date unknown
Other Partners: William RICHARDS m. 7 Oct 1762Married 19 Feb 1767 St. Leonard’s Church, Sheepstor, Devon, England - From Dartmoor Press info - additionally shows alternate date of 13th.
Two grandsons of Robert and Sarah, Robert (son of William) and William (son of John) both gave the middle name "Bounsall" for one or more children. A William Richards married a Sarah Bounsall on 7 Oct 1762 in Sheepstor. In 1764 William Richards was married in Sheepstor. Given that Richards was not a Sheepstor name (the marriage and burial of William, and the marriage of Sarah, are the only Richards events in the Dartmoor Press transcribed data for the parish) I think it almost certain that the William buried in 1764 was the one who had married in 1762, and that it was the widow Sarah who married Robert Andrew. This would explain why Sarah's grandsons gave the name to their children.
