Like father, like son?
A John LINFIELD (variously spelled) married an Elizabeth in Hurstpierpoint, Sussex in 1697. Family search comes up with these baptisms:
Elizabeth Lynfield 1698
John Linfilde 1700
Susanna Linfield 1702
William Lindfield 1706
Sarah Lindfeild 1709
Nathaniel Lindfeild 1711
Thomas Lindfeild 1711
John Lindfield 1714
Thomas Lindfield 1715
Mary Lindfield 1716
Elizabeth Lindfield 1718
Sarah Linfield 1721
Anne Lindfield 1725
John Lindfield 1728
Susanna Lindfield 1731
Nathaniel and Thomas are twins. There are some baptisms, children of John and Mary up to 1706, suggesting that the John who married in 1697 was a young man. Even so, his poor wife CANNOT have born children over a 34 year period.
Can anyone find other marriages for Johns and Elizabeth? I'm beginning to wonder whether there were at least three of them!
