bullet  General Notes:

William & Ann are stated as being from Noak Hill in their son Johns birth. As there are two Johns within three years, I would imagine the first died.
In the South Weald 1841 census, William & Ann are almost certainly the parents of John, and I am guessing for a minute that they are also the parents of others including William. They are aged 70 and 68 respectively, and the next person on the census is John aged 30 with his wife Harriet
You can check this out for yourself, if you like.
William is a farmer in 1841, and it appear he passes the farm to his eldest son George. This is all pure supposition until I get to the Essex Record Office and confirm much of this.
In 1841 census, he is a Farmer, aged 70, and with his wife Ann, who is shown as aged 68
In 1851, he is aged 86, a retired Farmer. He is living with his son George, and family at Moated Castle, South Weald
Christening info is from the IGI, and not proven.
In 1781, this entry exists:
