Zoe, maybe you need to review the information you have posted here, following your long thread on Family Tree Forum. Sadly I cannot re-access that thread now I've looked at it once, as I am not a member of that forum.

It seems unlikely he would be a lawyer as well as farm labourer, more likely it was supposed to say Sawyer. If you can get a copy of the first marriage certificate, there will be witnesses' names and it is more likely that the witnesses at that first marriage might be William's relatives (or at least one of them) which might help us to look for the right family for him.

Witnesses can be anyone, but are often relatives.
Parish register records for Thirsk for the period you need are held at the North Yorkshire County Record Office.

Let me know if you want me to re-post anything. Some of the marriages and baptisms are in the new W. Yorks records on Ancestry (with images). The main problem is that we can't find a baptism for William born c. 1831. My guess is that he was baptised in the Balk area, although for some reason he gives Scotland and "at sea" as his birthplace in later censuses. However, there appears to be no church in Balk, and the baptisms for Thirsk, Kirby Knowle and Bagby, which are nearby, are on the IGI, but William doesn't appear (I checked all the Williams baptised in those parishes around 1831, in case he was mistranscribed, but I still didn't find him).

Thanks for the offer, Mary! Do you know how accurate his age is over the years? I looked at the 1851, 61 and 71 censuses, but had to use FMP not Ancestry so the transcript spellings of his surnamewere different making it a bit longwinded! From memory he was 27, 30 and 37 on those three. Do you have his death on FTF? (sorry to be a pain)
