Thomas Brett of Westwell
« on: Tuesday 15 August 17 21:18 BST (UK) »
Hi

My ancestor Thomas Brett married his first wife Martha Jones in 1673 by licence. The licence states that he was a bachelor, aged 28 "of Westwell". This would make him born c1645, however I have been unable to find a Thomas Brett (or any Bretts) born in Westwell at this time.

I have found a Thomas Brett born in Wye in 1640 and another christened in Throwley in 1655. Out of these I suspect that the Thomas Brett born in Wye is possibly more likely to be mine however I am unsure.

Is anyone able to check for a Thomas Brett born in Westwell c1645 or does anyone think that the Thomas born in Wye or the Thomas born in Throwley could be my Thomas?

Any advice or help would be appreciated.

Many thanks

Matt
