I just found both those, Merry!
About the correct gap between them. I think that Alice must have been from the first wife. First name(s) James Last name Grantham Marriage year 1696 Marriage date 10 Feb 1696 Marriage place Bowdon Spouse's first name(s) Elizabeth Spouse's last name Pearson City or town Bowdon County Cheshire Country England Record set Cheshire Diocese of Chester parish marriages 1538-1910 |

Is it possible that Edward was known as Clark Davies because of being the parish clerk?

What a great idea! His dau would have been over 80 when she got her inheritance from..... erm.... whoever-it-was Moult. If she was presumably unmarried then if we could find a burial after 1788 that would be good.

..and John would be even older! It's possible but is it that likely?

That is a question I have been mulling over in my mind, Kate. Perhaps that's how he was always addressed.
It neatly fits in with John Moult's will. His bequests would then all have been made to cousins on the Moult side and half-cousins on the Grantham side. |

Why would he say whose children Meriel and John were at that age? Is that usual?

I'm not sure that anything is 'usual' lol but it might help identify John Davis as there were probably dozens of them to choose from!
