Name William SMALE Relationship 
with Teresa Ann GOATHAM Gender Male Occupation From 1822 to 1829 Labourer - Recorded as such when his children were baptised
Died Between 1829 and 1839 - Between the baptism of his last son and Prudence remarrying
Buried - He almost certainly died between about 1828 (last child baptised 1829) and 1839 (when the widowed Prudence remarried).
It it was pre July 1837 his death should be in the index on FMP, covereing DFHS transcipts as well as some entries from PRs held at the PWDRO. If it was later it should be in the FreeBMD index.
Of the William Smale deaths / burials found, none was in Plympton (RD). The 2 most likely are:
Plymouth St Andrews - 1838
and
Tavistock 2 July 1829, aged 49.
William was of Sampford Spiney when he married Prudence and so his place of settlement was probably in or near there, and could well have been Tavistock. The family may have moved there during his final illess when they may well have neeed support from the parish.
Alternatively, Prudence was living in Plymouth when she remarried in 1839, so perhaps the family was there when William died.

Family Prudence JUSTHAM, bap. 12 Sep 1785, St. Andrew’s Church, Buckland Monachorum, Devon, England 
, d. Mar Q 1853, Plympton Reg Dist, Devon, England (Age ~ 67 years)
Other Partners: Oliver PALMER m. 11 Sep 1807; [ - ? - ] m. Between 1812 and 1818; Richard Fox CORNISH m. 10 Nov 1839Married 23 Sep 1821 St. Mary’s Church, Sampford Spiney, Devon, England - From PR entry (image on FMP, viewed 26 Apr 2020)
Shows William Small of Sampford Spiney married Prudence Palmer of Lamerton; married by Banns. Both made their mark, witnesses John Bones(?) and Thos Spurrell (both signed; Thomas signed most around this time - probably Parish Clerk)
I think it unlikely there was another Prudence of marriageable age in Lamerton at this time. (This Prudence's dau was legally old enough to marry, but not only was still a Palmer at the time of a later marriage, but marriages at the age of 12 or 13 were almost unknown at this time.)
Prudence's son William was apprenticed in 1829; in the "parents" column the register simply shows Prudence, with no surname given. William's abode at the time was Lamerton, so it seems probably that Prudence (and William?) were living in that parish.
More conclusive evidence that the marriage was this Prudence: Prudence had a number of children with William and the surname was recorded as SMALE. Then Prudence SMALE remarried again in 1839 and her father was shown as Richard JUDSON, tailor.
