Thanks, Lindsay, that would make a bit more sense.
Ellen, their aunt, had inherited land in Croydon and Robert Standish came originally from Kingston Upon Thames area, but his children were all born in Croydon. There is nothing, however, to prevent them moving about. It's a challenge as most of the men seem to die young, so I am following females forward in time, and as Ann was the only child of John and Margaret Armitage, I do wonder whether John had left the scene by 1702.
