Notes - There are a number of candidates for the Richard Willings who married Elizabeth Hatley in Horseheath in 1713. I have concluded it is most likely that the Richard, son of John and Mary, is the correct match. Two of their four eldest children are also named John and Mary - hardly conclusive as they are very common names, but suggesting a match to Richard's parents' names. Although no baptism has been found for Richard, son of John and Mary, he is likely to have been born in the early 1690s given the baptism dates of his siblings. His existence is evidenced by his grandfather, Edward Willings' will. This birthdate is in keeping with the age of 76 given to Richard Willings, parish clerk who was buried in Horseheath in 1766.
