Marriages of Thomas Dod[d] c1668
« on: Sunday 20 August 17 23:22 BST (UK) »
I am hoping  someone can help me trace the marriage details for my ancestor Thomas Dodd.

Thomas Dodd was born in Boughton Aluph in 1637/8 and married a woman named Priscilla. Their first child Elizabeth was christened in Brook in 1668 so I am estimating they were married shortly before then. However I have not yet been able to find a marriage for Thomas in any parish in the area. As well as Elizabeth Thomas and Priscilla had 6 other children:

Priscilla - chr 13 Sept 1671 Ashford
Ann - chr 28 Jul 1673 Kennington
David - chr 26 Nov 1676 Kennington
Susanna - chr 24 Nov 1678 Kennington
Thomas - chr 29 Jan 1681 Kennington
Thomasine - chr 27 Jun 1683 Kennington [my ancestor]

Many thanks
Matt

Since posting message I have come across some potential new information regarding Thomas Dodd which suggest that the Thomas Dodd christened in Boughton Aluph in February 1637 may not be my ancestor.

This Thomas was the son of John and Mary Dodd. I have now discovered a burial for Thomas Dodd, son of John Dodd and Mary, at Boughton Aluph on 8 February 1637. If this is the same man then he obviously cannot be my ancestor.

Is there any other Thomas Dodd christened in the Boughton Aluph or Kennington area who could have married Priscilla?

Can anyone offer any suggestions or ideas here?

Many Thanks
Matt

Having looked at a copy of the baptism  register pages for 1637/8. I cannot see any for Dodd let alone a Thomas. All the results are Transcriptions one is even credited to Borden so I have my doubts any are correct.The register pages are no 21&22 on The FindMyPast Parish register for Boughton Aluph.
   How about this one. Only a transcription .

Hi

Thanks for that. I'll take a look into him  tomorrow but it could well fit. Now if only I can find his marriage. You would think Priscilla would be easy to spot, but so far nothing for her and Thomas in the area.
