My theory, is that Samuel is Samuel Reeves Wills baptised 11.7.1824 Dittisham, son of Nicholas and Susanna (nee Reeves), who were married 24.4.1821. On 1841 census Samuel is working as servant, age given as 12, but could be a bad figure on census, or the enumerator took off 5 years instead of rounding it down to the nearest 5. Parents Nicholas and Susan on 1841 census with children Rebecca (baptised 1832 Dittisham, susan and Ann.
Grandparents Nicholas 59 and Elizabeth 58 living Coleridge Nicholas senior is a cordwainer (shoemaker). Hope this helps.
