The following line makes sense of the above but there are many loose ends.

WILLIAM HINGSTON (born about 1781, buried 30 May 1846 at Loddiswell aged 66) married MARY LUCKHAM (born about 1776, died at Wisly (Wizaller?) and buried 17 Jun 1848 age 72) on 4 Sep 1801 at Loddiswell

Their children were :-

WILLIAM HINGSTON (bapt 25 Dec 1803) married JOANNA PROWSE on 5 Aug 1829 (DFHS Index)

Their children were:-


Loddiswell Richard Willing son of Richard (miller) m Jane Hingston dau of Philip (Miller). (Not sure when this was - my correspondent did not note the date, but it almost certainly relates to the Jane Hingston daughter of Philip Hingston (#3 in Tree HH). She died in 1842 and would have been born around 1818, so probably would have been after 1837.
