Perhaps Charlotte or Penelope daughters of Edward Wheler will PCC 1785 brother of Rev Charles Wheler 7th bart. 1730-1821. Charlotte died unmarried in 1861 and Penelope married Charles John Craven in 1817. Their cousin the 8th bart Trevor Wheler 1763-1830 married Harriet dau of Richard Beresford of Ashbourne, Derbys in 1792 but I couldn't find any connection between the Beresfords of Ashbourne and Benjamin Beresford from Bewdley, Worcs who married Hamilton Rowan's sister (see my entry for Beresford). Trevor Wheler 8th bart had 5 sisters including Penelope who married William Wilberforce Bird (qv) but they were all married before 1805, his eldest daughter was Harriet born about 1794 so would have been 11 in 1805. This baronet family was the only likely Wheler family I found. Of course there would be many more spelt Wheeler
