Ah, yes, I see what you mean, Claire...
I have never for one minute considered that John, but I suppose without the proof in our hands it is a possibility.
Richard and Ann's other two children, William and Richard died when only a few weeks old but there is no more on John...
I suppose it could be, that there is no more on the John born to John and Elizabeth, while the line comes down from John and Ann.....
In the beginning when I first started the tree I was in contact with a lady who had been researching the Denchfields for over 20 years, and had studied the North Marston registers. She was the one who had me thinking that this was the correct line and I have always accepted it.
I believe she may have wills, etc that prove it, but I am not sure. The only Denchfield will I have is for much later.
She is a very good researcher, but now you have pointed out this flaw, I see what you mean....
Something to be looked into.
See you
Paula
