Nicholas Bull Great Casterton born abt 1631

[Mary Wiliams]

I wonder if you could help please, according to family records my 7th Great Grandfather Nicholas Bull was born in 1631 in Great Casterton. I have tried numerous avenues but drawn a blank.
His son also Nicholas was born in 1665 and married a lady called Catherine.

I have found mention of a William Bull a glover in Stamford in 1614, wife Joanne and son Michael and daughter Anne, I don't know if they are somehow related?
Thanking you in advance,
Mary

Hambleton - 6 Nov 1631 Nicholas Bull baptised to John

Probable that John's wife is Anne:

Hambleton - 29 Jul 1629 - Henry Bull baptised to John
Hambleton - 6 oct 1639 - Anne Bull wife of John buried

Seems like Nicholas and Mary Bull may have been floating between Edith Weston and Great Casterton:

Edith Weston
25 Sept 1664 Mary Bull baptised to Nicholas & Mary
16 Feb 1672/3 John Bull baptised to Nicholas

Not sure which Nicholas this is, as there is another baptised in Edith Weston in 1696 to a John & Thomasin.

Edith Weston - 15 Feb 1682/3 Nicholas Bull buried
