I'm updating this old thread in case any of the previous participants are interested.
PRs from Laughton pre-1740 are now online! Heaven knows where they were kept -- they weren't at the record office when I looked years ago.
Anyway, some light is shed on the Loles but some things appear less clear.
In a nutshell, one William and Ann Lole baptised 6 children in Laughton between 1684 - 1707. Then there's a gap, then Joses was baptised in 1712. His father was also named as William -- his mother possibly Ann but very difficult to read.
We already know that Christopher had died in 1674, and William and Ann called their second son Christopher, so it's tempting to assume that this older William was Christopher's son.
There's no baptism for a Cornelius and tbh if the first child was 1684, I find it difficult to believe that the last (C) would be born 1720, as per C's marriage licence. But C does state that his brother was Joses --- confusing! Unless, of course, William (snr) married twice?
Re William who died in 1765 - There is no baptism listed, but there is a gap between 1695 – 1707 in the baptisms above, which would fit with William’s yob (1698) according to his tombstone.
Joses Lole married Sarah Cooper in 1737, and had 2 children, John and Ann, before the register ends in 1739. The years from 1739-1754 are missing. There's no burial for Sarah Lole and after 1754, the children all have a mother called Mary, so Sarah must have died and Joses remarried in that timeframe.
I've looked through all the images on screen between 1712 - 1739, rather than relying on transcripts, so hope I've not missed anything.
