Hi Mark, thanks for your message and link to your family tree. I have the Marshman's back to 1640 with some help from other researchers. I have had a quick look at your tree and think we can help each other out. James Marshman who married Alice Leonard, I have a birth as 5/9/1744. Please note this may well be a Baptism as some people assume the Baptism is the day they were born or just take the B as being born not baptism or vice versa. John Marshman who married Joan Stagg, born 3 July 1651. I don't have him being married to Ann Phillips as I have a son, John between John and Joan born 17 Nov 1680. Now when it comes to children of Thomas and Sarah there has been a lot of confusion. I presumed like you that they had a son called John 1799. I have recently spoken to someone who has now found out this is not true. He was the son of Thomas and Ann but lived next door to Thomas and Sarah. This researcher has put a lot of time into this and I presume he is correct. (If you know better then please let me know). Thomas and Sarah also had Lydia (1802), Louisa (1815) and Grace (5/6/1819). I am not sure where your James 1715 comes in as I have the father of James (1744) as being John (28 june 1714)
Help!!!!!
Anyway thank you again and look forward to hearing from you
