Thomas Strugnells
Thomas Strugnell of Bishops Waltham married Elisabeth Kind of Droxford 2 May 1747. This marriage is recorded in Phillimores as taking place in Winchester Cathedral.
Meanwhile, another Thomas Strugnell married Isabella Hunt in Petersfield 12 May 1748. No additional details provided. https://www.ancestry.co.uk/imageview...4&pId=90732932 Thomas and Isabella’s family is fairly easy to construct, as there seems to have been only one couple with those names, and they produced children together roughly every three years. Isabella, widow of Thomas, was buried 22 September 1811 aged 86: https://www.ancestry.co.uk/imageview...89c&pId=415266 Meanwhile, there are these children of Thomas and Elizabeth: Elizabeth was bp at Bursledon 13 Feb 1748/9 https://www.ancestry.co.uk/imageview...dac&pId=970420 Eleonor was bp at Bursledon 10 Dec 1752 https://www.ancestry.co.uk/imageview...69e&pId=970710 Thomas bp at Bursledon 1 Sep 1754 https://www.ancestry.co.uk/imageview...69e&pId=970821 William bp at Bursledon 29 Dec 1756 https://www.ancestry.co.uk/imageview...69e&pId=970901 This family appear to continue to have children up until Sarah in 1772. https://www.ancestry.co.uk/imageview...8d8&pId=281301 Sarah, my ancestor, was bp 18 July 1755 in Bishops Waltham https://www.ancestry.co.uk/imageview...8d8&pId=411760 Mary was bp 1 April 1759 in Titchfield, and her brother William was admitted, aged 2 https://www.ancestry.co.uk/imageview...0537?pId=15870 Dec 6 1761, Elizabeth the wife of Thomas Strugnal is buried in Bishops Waltham https://www.ancestry.co.uk/discovery...20413565:62421 So I appear to have three, if not four Thomas Strugnells all fathering children between 1748 and 1772. The Bursledon family appear to have stayed in one place. There are no helpful Strugnell wills in the period. I have plenty of DNA matches – to Isabella’s descendants. The 1747 marriage has the partners of the right places to be Sarah’s parents, but were the couple genuinely childless for 8 years? And can anyone see another Thomas Strugnel (variously spelt/mistranscribed) marriage?

Ooh, well done, Kite! Hampshire is a challenging county because of the various boroughs. Portsmouth records are on Find My Past.
I have about 8 DNA matches, some over 20 cM, with the children of Thomas and Isabella, but that connection has got to be further back in time. At least I now know there genuinely were THREE Thomases, all marrying at about the same time. (What's the bet they were all first cousins?)
