Well, it is not looking good to find James's marriage to Thomasin(a).

Parish records on line do not go back that far and I can't find anything on it.

I will explore elsewhere but I am not hopeful.

Sorry.

Sorry, Susannah Gaunt was seeing John Wilks whilst she was pregnant with Elizabeth.. She named her daughter, Elizabeth Gaunt, but she quickily uses Elizabeth Wilks and her mum, Susannah, marries John a month after she was born.

Elizabeth later marries Benjamin. using the name ELIZABETH GAUNT but when she gives birth to her first son, Robert, out of wedlock. His birth cert, says;
ROBERT HENRY GAUNT WILKS ( after herself and her stepdad) and she calls herself ELIZABETH GAUNT WILKS.

He from the age of 20, always uses GAUNT and dies a GAUNT.

There is no father named for either Robert or Elizabeth!!!

But I have Susannahs parents...Thomas Gaunt and Elizabeth Milner!

Strange though...my mum, Elizabeth Carson came from Belfast and married my dad. Kenneth Gaunt...another Elizabeth Gaunt!!!

I have corrected my tree on GR now, what a faf! got to correct the one on ancestry now!

Look forward to hearing from you Dea.
