In the graveyard of the former Congregational Church / Salem Chapel Quoiting Square Great Marlow, now called Christ Church URC.
William died 22nd June 1875 aged 76 (78?) He leased the corn (that is flour) and grist watermill at Marlow by 1830 although his families involvement with Marlow Mills stretches back further. He lived close by to it and leased another nearby property Weir Cottage (a 6 bedroom house with stables, coach house etc so no little cottage) which at least latterly in his life he sublet to others.
His census entries suggest that he was born in Hurley Berkshire. I have not found his baptism but of course if his family were nonconformist Christians it is always more of a challenge to find those baptisms. Family wills however point to him being most likely the son of Greenaway Jacques and grandson of a Mary Jaques, widow of Wallingford who wrote her will in 1811 and died in 1823.
William had the same servant, Caroline Haynes / Haines for over 30 years. It does not appear that he ever married. I have not read his will but the main legatee was a James Greenwood, presumably a descendant of his uncle Charles Greenwood.
