This John is new, b. c1717, with no other records yet found for him or his wife. Again he cannot be directly connected to our line, but he might be a son of James and Hester, above. Interesting that although both living in the same parish they wanted to marry in one of three diverse churches.

I suspect that John who married Ann WOOLSTON could be a son of James/Jacobus & Hester FIDGETT who married in 1709. On the marriage licence John gives his aged as "upwards of 24" - likely to mean 24 not yet 25, whereas "upwards of 21" can be any age above that, indicating only that he/she has reached their majority. This would make his birth around 1717

John married Ann WOOLSTON [9082] [MRIN: 2076] on 7 Sep 1741.
