Notes:
B. Butterworth, a HEAD cousin, wrote: I checked the registers for Broughton and found the following:
"Thomas, son of John Head ( who has brought a certificate from Wishford in Wiltshire) and Sarah his wife, was baptized June 18 1718." am not sure of the wording in the brackets, as it is very dim. The town could be Wilsford, Woodford, or Wishford, but there is a later marriage record:
1723 John Head of ye Parish of Wishford in County of Wilts and Elizabeth Rowden of this parish June 4th, with Banns. This could be our John on a second marriage, or a relation, which makes it look like Wishford is correct. Either way, it's a great connection, because I have thought that the Hampshire Heads must have come from Wiltshire.
Then we have the other baptism by John and Sarah in Broughton: "1719 Stephen, son of John Head and Sarah his wife was baptized June 28th."
Going down to the next Thomas, he was born in 1738, which is the year that Thomas and Mary married in Eling, so it does look likely that they are his parents, but I would like to see the baptism record, so will try Eling registration. It will take time, as they are in Winchester.
Notes for Mary:
