Hi Ashbourne
I'm not sure about John Stonyer's two marriages to Sarah Fletcher and Sarah Harrison. The dates don't seem to quite tie up.
There's a John Stonyer (John #1) . Don't know who his wife was. Suspect he lived at Sides Mill.
I suspect John #1 had (at least) three children:
1. John #2 (born c1735) birthplace not known, buried Mayfield 15 Jan 1795
2. Richard (Born c1750), birthplace and burial place not known
3. Thomas (Born c 1755 - died 1820 Kidderminster) married Sarah Johnson 24 Jul 1776, Mayfield
If these three were born at Sides Mill, where are the baptisms? There's a big gap between John # 2 and Richard.
I've assumed John #2 married twice, (i) Alice, surname unknown, and (ii) Sarah Fletcher 2 Mar 1772
Children of John #2 and Alice:
1. Thomas (1753, Checkley - ?) married Elizabeth Malkin (27 Dec 1779, Mapleton) (not 100% sure of these)
2. Alice (1756, Mayfield - ?)
3. William (1756, Mayfield - ?)
4. Mary (1758, Mayfield - ? )
5. William (1760 - ?) married Mary Cope 15 Oct 1781, Kidderminster
6. Joseph (1761, Snelston - ?)
7. Sukey (1763, Snelston - 1827) Married John Cleobury Collins 19 Mar 1794, Baddesley Ensor
8. Elisabeth (1766, Snelston - ?)
9. John (1767 - 1841) married (i) Rebecca Straw, 9 Nov 1806, Tamworth (ii) Susanna Evans, 7 Mar 1819, Kidderminster
The puzzle here is why the switch from Mayfield to Snelston between 1758 and 1763, and where is the baptism for William, born 1760. Maybe a trip to view the actual parish registers is needed, it wouldn't be the first time a Stonyer's gone missing from the IGI transcripts!
Children of John and Sarah Fletcher:
1. John Stonyer (1775 - ?) married Sarah Harrison 21 Sep 1795. Snelston.
Children of John Stonyer and Sarah Harrison:
1. John Stonier (1798, Snelston)
Does this make sense?
