| Issues:The problem with the entries above is to identify the different John Kidners. If we assume that the entries are
all correct, the parents of Mary in 1790 are John Kidner and Mary Southey, married at Creech St Michael in 1782. Why then had there
been no children in the eight years after the marriage? Had they lived elsewhere? Is there another 'John and Mary'?
Who is the John who married Jane Burge at Taunton in 1787? |
