Hello Linconshire Chatters,
My mothers pedigree leads me back to the Platts family from Belton (in Axholme/near Epworth) Lincs.
I am fairly confident that my Platts line is OK back to a Robert Platts who married Sarah Akes in 1678 in Amcotts, Lincs. Their children were christened in Belton. I can find no birth details for this Robert although there are several previous generations of Platts living in Belton.
Since Robert Platts is likely to have been born about 1654-59, the candidates for his father would seem to be:
George (b1628 m Helin ?date and maiden name?)
Edmond (b 1630)
Charles (b 1634 m 1654 to Kathrin Ellis in Amcotts)
John (b 1637 m Rebecca ? Date and maiden name?)
All the above were fathered by one or more Robert Plattses In Belton. The free search sites show a Robert born 23/9/1614 father Robert and another Robert born 8/5/1560 ( father Johannis).
Can anyone shed any light on the relationship between these early members of the Platts family.
Many thanks for any leads you can suggest
