Allie,
And I thought Thomas married Jane Crockford.
Oh, I shall have to check my research. I have not put any of Thomas's in-laws into my tree, or my reason for thinking it was Jane he married. I can see from other sources that Jane and Grace are probably sisters, dau of James and Joan. Both sisters marry a Thomas Baker a piece, wow.
I also understood that Thomas was a blacksmith like his father, as per William's will (d 1816). That is a beautiful document with some interesting spelling by the clerk and William's distribution of his spoons.
I did see Thomas b 1813 son of Thomas and Grace when I was looking for the baptism of my Thomas (b 1808 Luxborough), son of John and Ann Greenslade. John was a shopkeeper at Luxborough which is per William's will.
Too many Thomas Baker of Cutcombe. I thought having 3 x John Baker to chose from was a test, but sorting the Crockford / Baker marriages will be interesting.
I have bought copies of Stoate's transcriptions for Cutcombe, Exford and places in between and found more in them than on
http://www.wsom.org.uk/ or FreeREG. I enjoy searching registers in book form, easy to do on the bus to work. Using them I have gone back through the Edbrookes back to William and his wife Richord Houndel c 1633 in Exford.
Thankyou for getting back to me with your connection to W and M. I'll look into Uncle Tom and see why I have what.
Salute,
Janelle
