The Tulley family is just a theory because I cannot find a baptism for a Francis Page at all.
Coincidence - there is a Page family in Fletching baptising children from 1688 onwards. The parents being Richard Page and Ann Tulley (she was a widow when she married Richard)
I now think the marriage I found in Teston may have been correct - Francis Tully married Ann SEALE in 1680.
When the widow Ann Tulley married Richard Page by licence surety was given by a William Seale of Fletching.
My guess is either Ann and Richard Page had a son Francis or Ann and her first husband Francis Tulley had a son Francis Tulley who went by the name Page when his mother remarried. Gosh that's confusing
Back on this tomorrow.

Hi Claire
I see. It sounds like two other problems I've encountered - one where a woman married twice and and a more complex one where an ancestor was married twice, and where the two women were also married twice!
I'm sure it'll make sense but I wouldn't worry too much about finding Francis if you can't see him. It would just be nice to know when he was born. Personally I'm concentrating on the Homewood line and the Bardins as that would be the side that interests me.
Anyhow I look forward to hearing anything new you find.
By the way I can confirm my theory about the Gilhams. John father of Jane christened in 1665, and George father of Jane christened in 1671 were brothers.
John Gilham christened 9 April 1639 Fletching - son of John
George Gilham christened August 1640 Fletching - son of John
I've also come across a will for an Edmund Gilham which may hold some clues too.
More from me tomorrow too.
Best wishes
Matt
