The records have an Isaac Needham in Ashover having one child in 1748 with a wife Anne and an Isaac Needham having three children (bap 1757 - 1762)with a wife Ellen. It would appear that this is the same Isaac and that he marries twice. From information from a gravestone in Ashover parish church an Isaac N has a wife Ann d 1751 age 19 and a second wife Ellen - can't read the detail of Ellen's death. The gravestone reads Isaac dies in May ( remainder is unreadable) and there is only 1 burial in May I can find in Ashover- May 1804.
But when was Isaac born and who were his parents? There are 2 possibilities I can find: Isaac b 1723 f Abraham m Hannah; Isaac b 1726 f William m Elizabeth. Which one marries Ann & Ellen? Can anyone help?

Thanks for the info but I would question your conclusion; apologies. The eldest Isaac was bap 5 Jun 1723 and the youngest 19 May 1726. The burial record of the 7 May 1804 aged 79 would mean that he was born in either 1725 or 1724. Either way it looks more likely that the burial record indicates it is the younger Isaac ie bap 1726 that is the person I'm looking for.
Thanks again for your help

Baptism Matlock

I believe Hellen Wall is the second wife of Isaac ie Ellen. Ann, Isaac's first wife dies in 1751 and the marriage to Helen/Ellen is in 1753. The death in 1822 I assume is Ellen/Helen as the calculated birth year fits. As you know Ashover and Matlock are quite close.
But I'm still unsure if Isaac was bap in 1723 or 1726, although the burial record would indicate the younger Isaac is the man.
Thanks again
