Pacy/Pacey-Nottinghamshire

[bully]

Sorry for being a pain....I have the two John's,my line being the younger one.
It doesn't get any easier with this family does it?
It looks like my John may have married twice, but both wives are Elizabeth.....one Empson the other Ellis.
Their are several children on a tree belonging to John,which I have on my tree,but Francis doesn't appear on that....maybe because he came from the second marraige?
Thanks again

As I said I have two Johns as sons of William Rawding and his wife Elizabeth.
John Baptised 5 Aug 1688 In Fulbeck (only one burial found in Fulbeck 16 Feb 1688, but before Johns Baptism date)

John Baptised 13 Feb 1690 in Fulbeck. It was very usual to name a child after a dead sibling, as I think is the case here. A family would not have raised two sons with the same name. So the 1688 John would have been deceased before the baptism of the second in 1790. Hence why yours could not have been the "younger one"

Apologies for veering slightly off-topic, but following my Notts forebears back I eventually come to Edward and Ann Pacy in Crowle, Lincolnshire. I have three children baptised there 1701 - 1706, one of whom dies in infancy, but cannot find Edward and Ann's marriage which I suspect will have been local to the Isle of Axholme.

Should any Pacy and variant researchers encounter this family I would be grateful if they could let me know. Happy to chat by email etc. to avoid hijacking this thread.

Thanks
