Rachel seems to have been from much more humble origins than William. I wonder if she went to work for William, either to look after the children after his first wife, Elizabeth, died or was already working for the family at the time of Elizabeth's death. With William and Rachel's first child baptised less than 6 months after the marriage it is easy to see that the marriage may have been precipitated by the pregnancy, but it is good to see that William was ready to do the decent thing and make Rachel his wife and did not let a class difference stop him. From both his description of her ('my dear wife Rachael') and his provision for her in his will William does appear to have really loved Rachel.
It will be interesting to see the PR entry, and in particular to see if Rachel made her mark or signed her name.
When Rachel married William she acquired 6 step-children (2 of the 8 children of William's first marriage had died in infancy). The 5 step-sons and 1 step-daughter were aged from 10 to 20, i.e. the oldest was only about a year younger than Rachel herself!
