*this is another name after Stephen, but can't read it.

Capetown - interesting information - with the wife's surname not referenced in records and the given name being the same, it sure does make tracking the families a challenge (i.e. David Wootten and Mary Blackman and David Wootten and Mary Knee).

Re the will and testament that you referenced for David Wootten - can that be referenced online and if so where?

[Capetown]

The Will of David WOOTTEN
Probate Date 1848
Residence Place: Bromham, Wiltshire England
Occupation: Yeoman and carpenter

is on Ancestry (clear to read)
Wiltshire, England, Wills and Probate, 1530-1858

On the first page - following on from another Will (page 297 of 336)

James BLACKMAN, Bromham Wilts
William SPACKMAN, Bromham Wilts

At  Devizes in the County of Wilts on the seven day of September one thousand eight hundred and forty eight....  the oath etc. etc

what is the source for the marriage to Mary Blackman?

There is a marriage 26 Nov 1796 in Bromham for Mary Blackman & George Wootten, witnesses John & Ann Sansom.

[CumbriaWay]

Sorry - that was my mistake - I have been looking at so many records of late, the names are spinning in my head and rather than checking my hard copy, I wrote David when it should have been George - i.e. George Wootten married Mary Blackman.

[osprey]

George and Mary Wootten had a son called David, he was baptised at Bromham 13 June 1810 which isn't a match for David's age in 1851 of 36.

Possible burial in Bromham
7 May 1815 George Wootten 41

which appears to be for the George Wootten baptised in Bromham 23 May 1773 son of Paul & Ann

Possible burial for his wife in Bromham
5 Jan 1818 Mary Wootten widow 42
