      William, as a pauper, and his wife and children were removed from Wymington to Rushden in 1777, and I am wondering if that was his legal place of settlement, perhaps because he had served an apprenticeship there, or earlier generations had come from there and not gained legal settlement in Wymington.

      If he was removed from Wymington to Rushden, then Rushden must have been his legal place of settlement. If a Settlement Examination has survived it should state why his place of settlement was Rushden eg that it was his father's place of settlement or that he'd acquired settlement there by another route.
