Frances Stacy married a William Blake 15 Nov 1790 at Saint Bride Fleet Street in London by Licence. Frances Hunter married a Benjamin Stacy 25 Aug 1785 at St Botolph without Aldersgate in London. Frances Hunter was baptized 14 Apr 1758 in London daughter of George and Jane Hunter.
Children baptized in London by George and Jane Hunter:
Elizabeth Hunter 30 Jun 1751 at Shoreditch
Jane Hunter 26 Nov 1752 at London
Mary Hunter 28 Mar 1756 at London
Frances Hunter 14 Apr 1758 at London
George Hunter 19 Mar 1760 at London
Joseph William Hunter 18 Jun 1762 at London
Sarah Hunter 13 Sep 1764 at London
Ursula Hunter 11 May 1766 at London
Bolded sisters appear in the will below.
There was a William Blake baptized at St Botolph Aldersgate 2 Dec 1792 (born 15 November 1792) son of William and Frances Blake.
Also baptized at St Botolph Aldersgate children of William and Frances Blake:
Frances Blake baptized 31 Jul 1791
John Blake baptized 4 Dec 1796
Joseph Blake baptized 22 Dec 1799
A William Blake was buried 4 Jan 1809 at St Botolph Aldersgate. He was 52 years of age (born circa 1757).
Interesting there was a Thomas Blake and a Widow Blake at St Botolph, Aldgate in 1638 (The Inhabitants of London).
William Blake is found on the 1841 Census in Deptford Kent living on the High Street and with him his wife Sarah, children William, Frances, Martha, George and Benjamin. As well his mother Frances is living with them and she is listed as 83 years of age and independent, not born in Kent.
William Blake 45 years Oilman and Coal Dealer, not born in Kent
Sarah Blake 45 years , not born in Kent
William Blake 14, Tailor Ap, born in Kent
Frances Blake 13 (female), born in Kent
Martha Blake 10, born in Kent
George Blake 8, born in Kent
Benjamin Blake 6, born in Kent
Frances Blake 83, not born in Kent
Possibly William Blake and Sarah Bohn married 6 Mar 1826 at St Giles Cripplegate, London. She may have died Sep quarter 1842 at Walthamstow Essex as this family on the 1851 Census appears to have a new mother Mary Ann. William Blake married Mary Ann Field Jun quarter 1843 in West Ham RD.
Mary Ann Blake was born Sep quarter 1844 in West Ham Union.
Henry Fox Blake was born Jun quarter 1849 in West Ham Union.
Sarah Blake was born Sep quarter 1851 in West Ham Union.
On the 1851 Census at Walthamstow (identified as the place where Frances Blake was living at the time of her death prior to 1849),
William Blake, 58 years, Grocer, born City of London, Mdx
Mary Ann Blake, 40 years, born Mdx, Edgeware
Frances Blake, 22 years, Dress Maker, born Deptford Kent
Martha Blake, 20 years, , born Deptford Kent
Benjamin Blake, 16 years, born Deptford Kent
Mary A Blake, 6 years, born Walthamstow Essex
Henrietta J Blake, 3 years, born Walthamstow Essex
Henry F Blake, 1 year, born Walthamstow Essex
William Blake may have died Jun quarter 1859 in West Ham Union. He would have been 67 years of age.
The 1861 Census lists Mary Ann Blake as a widow, 51 years, General Dealer, born Edgeware, Herts, Mary Ann Blake, 16 years, Assistant in Business, born Walthamstow Essex, Henrietta Blake, 13 years, Assistant in Business, born Walthamstow, Henry F Blake, 11 years, scholar, born Walthamstow and Sarah Blake 9 years born Walthamstow.
No clues in all of this to a possible parentage for William Blake, husband of Frances (Hunter) (Stacy) Blake.

Will of John King, Natley Scures, Hampshire - The National Archives PROB 11/421, probated 17 Oct 1694
The testator, John King, does not mention a wife or children. He does name his brothers as John King and Richard King and brother’s in law William Hall and William Dyer. He names his friends William King of Bramshill (12 miles from Upton Gray) and John Nash of Mattingly (8 miles from Upton Gray).
John King lives at Nately Scures as it is presently known. Nately Scures is five miles from Upton Gray and this road passes through Mapledurwell so continues in the same general area as the King wills already transcribed.
This area is somewhat distant from Upper Clatford (26 miles) and I am not sure now why I decided to transcribe these wills. However, once done I will not repeat them! My Thomas King died in 1762 and his children were in their 30s at that time. He married in 1728 so perhaps born between 1695 and 1705. He was a farmer according to his will. I have not learned very much about him in that instance. His farm was next to that of Thomas Collins and his daughter (Joanna (King) Blake would marry the widower Thomas Collins after she herself was widowed for fourteen years (Joseph Blake died in 1767). There is more information on the farm of Thomas Collins which may have included the farm of Thomas King.

Will of Edmund King, Alton, Hampshire - The National Archives, PROB 11/258, probated 31 Oct 1656
Edmund King, the testator, was married to Agnes (unknown).
There was a baptism for William King, Nov 1631, at Alton, Hampshire. (Family Search)
Although the Alton Parish Records do date back to 1615 for baptisms, 1629 for marriages and 1616 for burials, they do not appear to be online. Find my Past has only nine entries between 1590 and 1670.
Edmond King (age 32) married Joane Bushell (age 40) 22 Oct 1655 at Binsted near Alton, Hampshire
Edmund King buried 28 Jul 1656 at Alton, Hampshire (likely the testator)
Edward King buried 15 May 1668 at Alton, Hampshire
Jane King (age 22) married Allen Bryant (age 28) 26 Feb 1654 at Binsted near Alton, Hampshire
Joan King buried 22 Sep 1655 at Alton, Hampshire
Johan King buried 28 Jan 1637 at Alton, Hampshire
John King buried 9 Jan 1656 at Alton, Hampshire
(Male) King (infant) buried 26 Aug 1665 at Alton, Hampshire
William King buried 24 Sep 1668 at Alton, Hampshire
As far as I can tell just the burial for Edmund King relates to this particular will.
Was this family always at Alton? There are King families in Alton back into the 1500s.
A search on Find My Past did not reveal any King families similar to this in Hampshire other than in the Alton area.
Edmund named his daughters. First, Jane Rout with sons Thomas and John and daughter Dorothy, her husband is likely David Rout who signed the will as a witness. Second
Elizabeth Vanner with son John and husband is John Vanner identified as a son in law. Third, Margery Nash with sons George and John and daughter Rachell. George Nash is identified as a son in law. Fourth, Agnes Manning and her son John Manning and daughter Elizabeth Manning. He also named his sons, Edmund King the eldest with daughter Anne. Thomas and William are his other sons named in the will and his joint executors.
He identified his brother as Henry King.

There was a baptism for William King, Nov 1631, at Alton, Hampshire. (Family Search)
Although the Alton Parish Records do date back to 1615 for baptisms, 1629 for marriages and 1616 for burials, they do not appear to be online. Find my Past has only nine entries between 1590 and 1670.
Edmond King (age 32) married Joane Bushell (age 40) 22 Oct 1655 at Binsted near Alton, Hampshire
Edmund King buried 28 Jul 1656 at Alton, Hampshire (likely the testator)
Edward King buried 15 May 1668 at Alton, Hampshire
Jane King (age 22) married Allen Bryant (age 28) 26 Feb 1654 at Binsted near Alton, Hampshire
Joan King buried 22 Sep 1655 at Alton, Hampshire
Johan King buried 28 Jan 1637 at Alton, Hampshire
John King buried 9 Jan 1656 at Alton, Hampshire
(Male) King (infant) buried 26 Aug 1665 at Alton, Hampshire
William King buried 24 Sep 1668 at Alton, Hampshire
As far as I can tell just the burial for Edmund King relates to this particular will.
Was this family always at Alton? There are King families in Alton back into the 1500s.
A search on Find My Past did not reveal any King families similar to this in Hampshire other than in the Alton area.
Edmund named his daughters. First, Jane Rout with sons Thomas and John and daughter Dorothy, her husband is likely David Rout who signed the will as a witness. Second
Elizabeth Vanner with son John and husband is John Vanner identified as a son in law. Third, Margery Nash with sons George and John and daughter Rachell. George Nash is identified as a son in law. Fourth, Agnes Manning and her son John Manning and daughter Elizabeth Manning. He also named his sons, Edmund King the eldest with daughter Anne. Thomas and William are his other sons named in the will and his joint executors.
He identified his brother as Henry King.
