Thomas Chowns/Chouns & Mary Bonnum/Bonham

[Nell]

Thomas Chowns married Mary Bonnum/Bonham in Sydenham, Oxfordshire 11 Dec 1747.

I don't know any more than that!

Nell, have you seen this Ancestry tree?

Could this be him?

Geographically, Stokenchurch, Siddenham (Sydenham) and Bledlow are all very close to each other.

There's also a user-submitted genealogy on Family Search which says that Thomas Chowns was born in 1725 in Ashton Rowant with parents named as John Chowns and Joan/Jane.

Looking at the info on various trees in Ancestry and FS, it seems as if Thomas Chowns and Mary Bonnum had the following children:

- John b 1748
- Thomas, b 1750
- Mary, b 1751
- Thomas, b 1753
- Robert, b 1756
- Jane, b 1758
- Henry, b 1761
- William, b 1764

I wonder if these wills are for descendants of your Thomas, Nell?
