Hi omega 1,while Iv'e been sleeping looks like you've been busy-good work!. I am a vol guide at the Fremantle Maritime museum so off for a few hours for that.
will wait for the extras you may dig up and still very interested with the two marriages of Thomas of Ewhurst bap 1633? Salehurst and m (1)Jane?
then (2) Constance Barnes of Sedlescombe 29.4.1687.
looks like the first son John from the m of Thomas and Jane then married the daughter of Thomas' 2nd wife Constance (naughty in those days)what can you dig up?
cheers copper john

Hi copper john

Your Guide job sounds interesting

Sorry,there is no marriage listed on the SMI for Thomas & Jane,it could be the PRs did`nt survive.
The marriage info i gave you for Thomas & Constance has 2 referances.1,they applied for a marriage Licence at Lewes & Married same day.Extra info Thomas a Widower.

While looking at Burials regarding your Gorham family,i came across something i personly have never seen before.

This is very very sad

Babies of John & Elizabeth buried at Ewhurst

Baby Gorham, 4 Dec 1694, Stillborn child of John

Baby Gorham,18 Feb 1698

Could these be yours ?

Children of Thomas & Jane Goreham ,Baptised at Ewhurst
Thomas,29 June 1681
Ann,19 Apr 1683
Elizabeth,24 Oct 1684
Janey,14 Dec 1685

Seems Jane died as a result of Child Birth
Buried 17 Dec 1685
Jane wife of Thomas.

As Ewhurst is on the Kent border,its possible Thomas & Jane married there
Kind regards

hi omega,as you say very sad re the stilborn children, have you found out the maiden name of Jane when she married Thomas?.
The names and dates of Thomas and Jane children match the names and dates of another branch of the Gorham tree that now are in NSW Australia having migrated here in 1838, I have been searching for my branch intersection for some time and this may be it!.
There is yet another branch of Gorham's surfaced on the matriarchs side and the connection is not clear here either --but-- all of them lived around the Sx/Kent border and across to Ashford area.I shall need to sit down and digest all this extra info, you and bearkat have exceeded my early expectations, what else is tucked away???,
cheers copper john.  ps 2 bleedin degrees here tonight

Hi John

There is no marriage listed for Thomas & Jane even using various spellings.

Just an idea.As Ewhurst is on the Kent border i wonder if they married there ?
