Thank you.

Would one be commonly known as - because of an illegitimate birth?  Eg, Johis's mother is a Willis and the father is a Heaton? 

In Australia - Perth.   

This fellow is the furtherest I have got back with the Fisher line/

Hi,

I am now trying to find Ambrosius Fisher's birth details.

My options now seem to be:
1. Born out of county

OR
Born in Germany.

Ambrosius is Germanic or Swedish.

Am I on the right track?

I have a John Wickett (DOB 1781) married to Mary Wickett (nee Dayman) (DOB 1781?) .

John's parent's are listed as Mary and Richard.
From a tree I merged with (yep, silly I know!)  MAry is born Sanders in 1735 and marries John Wickett in 1762.

Mary Wickett (born Sanders)
Pyworthy, Devon
May 25 1762

I have not been able to find the marriage details or banns. 

According to the tree I merged with, Richard and Mary have:

Thomasin Beckley (born Wickett)
Pancrasweek, Devon, England
1769 Chr Apr 4 1769

This makes Mary 34 when Thomasin is born, but also means a seven year period between marriage and child.   (Plausible, but I would have thought that there might have been children prior to Thomasin.)

Then there's a 12 year gap and:
In 1781 Age ‎~46‏
Birth of son: John Wickett Ch Feb 5 1781
Pancrasweek Devon

1783 Age ‎~48‏
Birth of son: Richard Wickett Ch Mar 23 1783
Pancrasweek, Devon, England

1784 Age ‎~49‏
Birth of son: William Wickett No christening details
WIlliam and Sarah Wickett (nee Lane) have a son, Wiliam Wickett Jnr in 1810) 

So based the 26 age gap between William Snr and Jnr, I feel that these aren't adult baptisms to get married (I have found a few of those in other families.) 

My questions are, why the large gap between children.  And I feel it would have almost been on the border of absurd to have a child at 49 at that time (although not impossible!)

I feel like I have either missed a death and remarriage (possibly to woman also named Mary) or I have mised the birth of an earlier Richard who is the father of John born 1781.


1. Look up of this marriage: MAry is born Sanders in 1735 and marries John Wickett in 1762.
2. Look of children between marriage and Thomasin Beckley (born Wickett),
3. Look up of burial of Mary Wickett
4. Look of possible missed father of John.

Thank you - I hope I have made sense.
