William was born in or before 1696, assuming he was 21+ when he married Martha in 1717.
William married Martha Dockray about 1717.
He passed away about 16 Dec 1768.
Research Notes
William was clearly determined to have a son named Joseph. Based on this, it seems likely that his own father's name was Joseph. In which case, his father may have been the Joseph Nixon who was buried at Carlisle on 12 Jan 1737.:
In turn, that Joseph appears to have had children at Carlisle from 1682-1697.
Based on this, the wife's name would have been Mary Lowson, married to Joseph in 1681 in Carlisle:
