MarriageHe married Catherine Way on 11 Jul 1805 in St Sidwell Exeter, Devon.
The witnesses were Elizabeth Welsford and Samuel Welsford. They witnessed many of the marriages so probably did not know the couple.2 
(Mentioned) NewspaperWilliam Channing was mentioned in the newspaper notice about the marriage of Thomas Oliver to his daughter Sarah on 16 Jan 1834, which stated that Sarah was the, "eldest daughter of Mr W Channing, of Thangsley Farm, parish of Cheriton Fitzpaine."3
1841 CensusWilliam and Catherine Channing appeared on the 1841 Census of Cheriton Fitzpaine, Devon, at Thongsleigh Mill. William was 65, a Farmer, and Catherine was 55. With them were [their son] John Channing (35), [their son-in-law, daughter, & grandson] George Heywood (45, ag lab), Mary Heywood (25), Edwin Heywood (1), [their granddaughter] Drusilla Oliver (5), and two male servants. All were born in Devon. [In the 1841 census, ages were rounded down and relationships were not recorded]4

Research Note The name of William's wife 'Caroline' was likely an enumerator error. The age and birthplace are correct for Catherine.
