I found this today which mentions Thomas Mayo and a Totty Mayo and similar names but the date of his birth is out. But also a mentions Francis Mayo. I can’t find the 1710 will that it mentions but that will might hold a few keys if I could find it.

Thought I might add a question or two back on this post - I tried starting a new thread but although it’s been read haven’t had any takers.
With this all popping back up again it made me review what was originally found.
That my Mary and Anthony’s Totty Mayo were siblings and children of Totty and Sarah Mayo née Poor. Totty we believe is the son of Thomas and Dina Mayo with Totty’s baptism (1723)
probably being mis transcribed as female instead of male being born in Salisbury Wiltshire possibly dying in Newbury as this is where his marriage took place and the birth of all his children. We don’t have a death as yet for him or his wife.
Thomas Mayo was the son of Thomas and Katheren Mayo née Totty - hence where the Totty name came from.
Katheren’s father left a Will which I’ve had transcribed and names all of her siblings. Her father was John Totty occupation gardener and he left an extensive Will. Katheren was not married at the time of his death as she was youngest. John’s father Richard also left a Will and both John and Richard mention a cousin James Townsend. To confuse matters there is a James senior and James junior. I’ve not worked out yet how they are cousins as I don’t know the maiden names of either John or Richards wives. However what I did note was James Townsend senior mentions in his Will his brother in law William Mayo. So I’ve made a mini tree linking these Mayo’s to the Townsend family. But so far haven’t connected any of them to our Thomas Mayo.
He’s a right mystery I did find a document on find my past which I will add that gives the parish he was living in at the time of his marriage to Katheren as Corsley Wiltshire and he’s a clothier and she was living in Frome Selwood Somerset. As she had been youngest and orphaned perhaps she had family there? I also noticed that the person listed as bondsman was a Francis Mayo from Ferris Norton Somerset? So I wondered if he holds the key to working out who Thomas Mayo is, he is 30 when he married so puts his year of birth around 1664 but I haven’t found any Thomas Mayo’s that fit that time frame except one in an odd sound area Sutton Benger Wiltshire (although this is 1666 so would make him younger) and wouldn’t you know it no parents are listed.
So if anyone has time to have a look at Thomas Mayo Clothier and can find any possible links to family it would be greatly appreciated.

Family History Beginners Board / Who is Thomas Mayo - Wiltshire
« on: Saturday 14 September 19 13:57 BST (UK) »
I’m after a little help once more after recently re going over an old post when looking into my GGG Grandfather Frederick Mayo Wade. Long story short and with a wonderful amount of help especially from Chris. We discovered the Mayo connection back to Thomas and Katheren Mayo née Totty. Katheren’s father left a Will which was recently transcribed which has made me once again look at Thomas Mayo. According to the marriage to Katheren he was born around 1664 and was a Clothier. But I can’t find any feasible parents for him.
Also in Katheren’s father John Totty’s Will he mentions a cousin James Townsend
And I do hereby desire and make my trusty and well beloved friends my Cousin JAMES TOWNSEND of Cheverell Magna gent
John Totty’s father Richard also leaves a will and similarly mentions a cousin James Townsend of Avon in Stratford Wiltshire (I think this one is possibly the father of the other one) so far I can’t find a connection to make them cousins however I did find that James Townsend senior in his Will of 1679 mentions a brother in law William Mayo? It looks like his wife is Hester but she could be his second wife I’m unsure.
I’m having a struggling tying these families together. Perhaps cousin was a more loosely used term back then?
So I thought I would try and see if Thomas Mayo was in anyway connected to the William Mayo mentioned in James Townsend seniors Will.
But I can’t not find any possible baptisms for Thomas. I will attach the wedding information when he married Katheren there seems to be mention of a Frances Mayo as well.
If anyone can help it would be much appreciated.
