William Ashby
Believe this was him in 1861 census. Born about 1780 Frant, living at Addington rd, Croydon
He was a widower with a housekeeper Sophia Richardson, widow. His occupation was milli(x)igrit, also another unreadable word.
The page is very faint to read.
In 1851, with his wife Susanna at Barrack Fields, Croydon. Also a married daughter & her 2 children, & a servant
He was a Millwright.
He had married Susanna Latter 1798 Lamberhurst. She died 1855
Believe he was buried 22.7.1866, Islington.

That's the chap. I wrote a large chapter in my book about him. Not sure he was buried in Islington, but probably unmarked in a Quaker burial ground. Sussex would make more sense.
One of his sons, Adam, was also a professional millwright, who died in 1899 in Gravesend.
