 on a roll now!

Richard Gill baptised in Advent on 17 Aug 1770, s/o John and Elizabeth.

Two earlier children come up for same couple, they called them John(1765) and Elizabeth (1768). Why were our ancestors so unoriginal with names?

Likely marriage is John Gill and Elizabeth Smart in Advent on 6 sep 1763. no further information about them unfortunately

Now a long shot. A john Gill was buried in St Teath on 25 Nov 1817 age 79. This would  make birth year around 1738, not unreasonable to have married in 1763 (age 25).

Was he widowed and went to St Teath to live with one of his children?

Just looking for more info on these few. I don't think the st teath ones are down this line. Also I believe fanny is male just people assume it's a female.
