William Newall Bath (c 1770s – 1848)

I started researching William Newall of Bath in connection with my research on John Newall of Bristol. Initally, before I established his DOB, I was investigating the possibility that William was a child of John Newall. However, after fully investigating his life (see below) it is clear that William is a contemporary of John and might even be a brother. Unfortunately, up to this point I have no information (other than approximate DOB) on William and his wife Mary prior to 1805.
