While doing further searching for William Deadman, I found a website Rhead Deadman Family which did have William Deadman (husband of Ellen Heath) as the individual who died in 1864 and is buried in Carrville Cemetery.
Information on this site also took me back at least 2 more generations in England and connected the John Deadman (husband of Mary Bone) I had stored in my file as a possible relative in my Deadman family. William and John were half-brothers. I had previously recorded info on John Deadman and Mary Bone as they had located in Ontario in the same area as William and Ellen and I figured there was a connection somehow, but it was a matter of verifying.
With the additional information on the people in England, I searched for IGI records on FamilySearch as well as the British census to fill in more of the gaps.
Rule of thumb: keep searching - even revisiting sites you have previously searched as the internet is always changing. And once additional information is obtained, use the "new" information for further searching.

William Deadman
William Deadman and Ellen Heath left England for Canada sometime in the 1840's as they appear on the 1841 England census in Southhampton and the 1851 "Canadian" census in Vaughan Township, York County, "Ontario". The family is still in Vaughan Township for the 1861 census. By the 1881 census, Ellen is a widow living with the 2 youngest children in Tecumseth Township, Simcoe County Ontario.
When did William die? I have been unable to locate a death registration on Ancestry, nor can I find either William or Ellen in the 1871 census. Was Ellen still in Vaughan at that point, or had the family already moved to Tecumseth?
The surname "Deadman" has been appeared in many versions and mis-transcriptions and some later generations did go by "Dedman". None of the known variations or wildcard searches have given me the results I hoped for.
A google search for William Deadman provided a picture of a tombstone for a William Deadman who died in 1864. Time frame would explain some of my questions, BUT the stone also has other names which I have not been able to associate with my Deadmans.
