Other Partners: Mary GOSWILL m. Jan 1663/64Mother Elizabeth, b. Est 1625, bur. 2 Sep 1663, St. Bartholomew’s Church, East Ogwell, Devon, England (Age ~ 38 years) Married Est 1647 - Date estimated from the dob suggested by marriage licence allegation for the Andrew Gotham I am guessing was his son.
My estimates of dates of birth of the daughters I guess to be children of this marriage (* which marriage may not have even taken place! *) are a little later, in the 1650s, so they do not require an earlier date.
An Elizabeth Gotham was buried in East Ogwell on 2 Sep 1663, I suspect this was Thomas' 1st wife. A remarriage just a few months later was common, especially where a man had young children needing mothering.
A Humphrey was buried about 2 months before Elizabeth who I guess may have been a son of Thomas and Elizabeth; I know of no Humphrey for whom I do not have a burial.
However, this does present another possibility: was this Thomas the son not of Andrew but of Humphrey? Since there is no Humphrey signing the protestation oath I think it unlikely.
There were also burials of Thomases in East Ogwell in 1700 and 1709, neither shown as 'son of' though other children were at this time. I guess that one was the Thomas in this marriage, but who was the other?
There may well have been a child of this marriage named Thomas (or of Thomas's marriage to Mary Goswill - there are no BTs or PRs for years incl. 1668 and 1670).
