Hi
Thanks all for looking and input. My ancestor Abraham was baptised in 1714, son of Samuel which threw a spanner in the works as I had Abraham who was baptised in 1701 down as my man but that Abraham died in 1702. So, I have a Samuel born about 1670 but who does give his age on a 1700 record as 36 marrying a Martha Denny in 1692 but she seems to have died in 1702 and then lo and behold appears the birth of an Abraham in 1714 followed in 1718 an Isaac so my thinking is that the widowed Samuel the elder married at least once more but I cannot locate a marriage. Open to suggestions of course as there seem to have been Samuel and Abraham Ansells in Bocking since records began!
Unless Samuel from 1700 married when he was 13 or 14 of course!
Thanks all, Anne
