Verification & Concerns Returns to 'Top of Page'

  1. There was only one family of ‘Carpenters’ in East Grinstead in this period of 1660- 1687 (for Ann - Age 16 at marriage to age 50 at birth of youngest child)
  2. For the period 1613-1652 (Age 16 at marriage to age 50 at birth of youngest child) there were no John Carpenters born in East Grinstead . There were no Carpenter’s in West Hoathly. However in Chailey, there were two John Carpenters born. Both Richard & John had extensive families but both had the same father. The younger John has been assumed as the more logical, but it may be incorrect.
    1. 24/1/1647 the son of Richard.
    2. 27/5/1633 the son of John
