Hi David
Just checking on Rootschat by chance and found I hadn't received notification of your last replies, flipping MSN not the first time it's happened, so sorry for not replying earlier many thanks for the extra info, I'll give you the rundown of the info I have on this family, you are right about William Medows and Elizabeth Smith that they might not be born in Oakham, it was an assumption (always a bad idea
) that as they had married and settled in Oakham they would be likely to be born there. I'd missed Josias from Mary's sibling.
I've not updated the info taken directly from my tree with your new info yet, this goes as far as Rhoda Arnsby who married John Watchorn, whose dau Elizabeth married George Matthews.
