Looks good Paula, although Ann could not have been 53, not sure if I said, as she had died just after giving birth to her daughter who dies a few days later.  I guess she was 33 years old.

Well you know, I have learnt a load from this exercise, not only getting the ages more or less correct but because today I managed to look at the Parish Register for their marriage. Now so far I had two Thomas MUNTs both both in different places in the same year. Both had brother's William. They are possibly all the same family.

NOW the Parish Register which I thought would not yeild any more clues actually says 1758 Jan24th Marriage Thomas MUNT born BOXFORD, Berkshire = to xAnn Thatcher by Lic.

Well now I am off hunting the parish regs of Boxford!!

Thanks to you all for your interest and helping in my continuation of the history of Thomas Munt.
