Two marriages - which one?
« on: Tuesday 17 September 24 07:20 BST (UK) »
Hello. I am having all kinds of trouble trying to find who Thomas Rodman (Redman) married.  He was bornabt 1595 in Rowde, Wiltshire, England and the only marriages I can find are to a Martha Greenway (b1597) on the 19th April, 1664 or 6th Nov. 1676.  These dates would mean that Thomas and Martha were married when they were very old.  Would this be right?  I believe there is  a son called Nicholas.  Am I missing a generation?  Can't get my head around this one. Any help would be greatly appreciated to put me back on track.

How did you get back to Nicholas, who were his children with dates please.  :)

The 1709 burial transcript does not give an age at death, it could have been one of those children baptised in the 2 years before

There is a Thomas Ridman (Redman/Rodman??) who marries a Hanna Gibbs in Cloford, Somerset (near Frome) in 1637- not a world away from Rowde, Wiltshire.
What makes you believe Thomas was born in Rowde?

Thomas (and Hanna) then had a son Nicholas baptised in Mells (near Frome) in Feb. 1641.
Could they be connected? All on FreeREG.

Rosie99, Thank you for your reply.  According to posts of Ancestry and various sources (see below) Nicholas' children are Nicholas (1646=1689) and Robert 1650-1689)  I believe his baptism was 21 Feb. 1665 at Broad Hinton.  There could have been other children. ,So far I have looked at England Wales Marriages, Christenings. England Select births and Christenings -- England Select marriages and Geneanet Community Trees. 
Later the family moved to South Africa (1820 Settler) and as   I do not have access to South African records I have had to rely on Amcestry Family Trees.  Thanks for your help

Teregram31510 . Thanks for your input. I will have to spend some time trying to fit this altogether.  It is quite a mystery. Appreciate your help.

Have you looked at the South African records on FamilySearch?
Can you please give us your earliest definite family, supported by evidence other than other peoples trees. Unless of course those trees have the evidence attached.

I am confused:

IF "Nicholas' children are Nicholas (1646=1689) and Robert 1650-1689) " Nicholas their father could not have been born/baptised in 1665.
