(LCC Wills 1785/138)
He married Mary HARDY, spinster, in St. Nicholas' Chapel, King's Lynn, Norfolk, on 28 July 1789, by licence. According to the Marriage Bond they were both over 21 years old and from the parish of Lynn St. Margaret. William EDGOSS was unable to write and was described as William EDGLOSS, mariner.
