Sorry,

I don't seem able to find William in 1861

He must have been very badly mis-transcibed.

But I have tried on the following:-

William, Will* (no surname);

Mak*, Make* (no surname);

Eyd* (no names at all);

Northamptonshire (no names at all);

Eyd* + 1835 +/-10 and 20;

Northamptonshire 1835 +/- 5 and 10


Not sure what else to try!!!
