Libby - he left a wife and two young children back in Essex.
Maggie - They look very promising finds. I had searched for variations on name but nothing ever came up apart from a marriage for him as Puter. Puter was used over a short period of time for other members of the same wider family's baptisms by just one vicar of Tollesbury. I never searched for Putter. I should have thought of that as often a double letter combo doesn't always come up in a search as a variation.
I will have a look at those later in the day and get back. Thank you
