	You're welcome Laird and I've learnt something new. Battle of Waterloo was 1815 and William appears to be producing children then. He is a skilled worker and can write so can his wife so should be better off than the average worker. William Betteridge who appears to be his nephew is an agricultural worker and illiterate. William's sons seem to follow father and you know that Edward could sign his name. A skilled, family man doesn't seem the type to up sticks, sign on for the army and fight in the Battle of Waterloo. You may however find there is a connection but not a direct one, he could be a gt whatever uncle or a distant cousin. Then again as said before you are dealing with quite common names. At least you are a bit further back in your tree. Try here, it's free, to see if you can get any further back https://familysearch.org/ :-)
