MEAD knot/wall/roadblock

[Simon Mead]

I wonder if anyone here has information about this and/or can help in any way?
I have a John MEAD b. 1631 in Monks Risborough d. 1690 in Wendover
and an
Alice CLARKE b. 1632 in Monks Risborough d. ?
they married in
1657 in Little Kimble.
Edward MEAD was born in Wendover in 1661.

Enter Susanna STAPLE b. 1641-1645 in Wendover d. 1703 in Wendover
John MEAD then married Susanna STAPLE on 13 Sep 1670 in Wendover - and they had lots of children.

On the face of it it would appear pretty straightforward, Alice dies and John remarries but I can find no record of Alice's death nor that John was a widower when remarried.

Any help/suggestions would, as always, be greatly appreciated.

Are you sure it's the same John Mead that married Alice. John who married Susanna was born in 1643 and baptised 01 Jan 1644, father Gregory Mead, mother  Margarett. This would make him 14 whe he married Alice.

Thanks for your rapid response.

Well that doesn't seem likely does it? Even in today's permissive society 14 is a bit young.

My concern has always been that it's 2 different Johns, I'm following John and Alice and a contact is following John and Susanna.

It would be helpful to find any documentation to prove/disprove them being the same person.

Gan I ask where you found the details of John and Susanna's marriage?

On FamilySearch, John who married Alice was born in 1626 to Johne Meade and Alis Paris at Wendover. His burial was 4Mar1730, Wendover.

Many thanks for your help. Mind you it helps my contact with his John and Susanna but I've got some serious thinking to do about John and Alice!

Can't find much about John and Alice except their marriage and birth of Edward, no definite death for Alice either.
