Birth of Robert Clothier

[crane15]

Robert Clothier is my 5th Great Grandfather, I have information on his marriage on 3 Sep 1776 in Stoke Sub Hamdon, Somerset to Rosanna Johnson and also his death on 14 Jun 1781 in Stoke Sub Hamdon, Somerset. I have a brick wall on his birth, any information would be helpful.

Hi, I did a quick search and only one return;

Name: Robert Clothier
Event Type: Baptism
Baptism Date: 7 Jun 1753
Baptism Place: North Cadbury, Somerset, England
Father: Wilm Clothier
Mother: Eliz Clothier

North Cadbury is extremely close to Stoke-sub-Hamdon.

Also, William and Elizabeth married at North Cadbury in 1747, her maiden name was Symes.

Thank you for that information.
I have done another search and found a Robert Clothier baptised in Stoke sub Hamdon on 1 Jan 1764 the son of Andrew and Mary Clothier.
My problem now is which would be the correct Robert Clothier the one from Stoke sub Hamdon or the one from North Cadbury both in Somerset but about 15 miles a part.

[Artognou]

The likely choice would be the Robert from North Cadbury, the Robert from Stoke-sub-Hamdon would probably be a bit too young, given the date of the marriage.

Check if one of them died young. That would certainly eliminate him.

They both die in 1781 Robert from North Cadbury died Nov 1781 and Robert from Stoke Sub Hamdon died 14 Jun 1781.
The Somerset England, Marriages Register, Bonds and Allegations 1754 - 1914 show the marriage of Robert Clothier and Rosanna Johnson as both of them coming from the some parish (Stoke Sub Hamdon).

[Mick Loney]

The trouble with the parishes shown on their marriage, refers to where they were living at the time, sadly not where they were born. I’m sure some mention of age would have been made if the younger one was as young as he was. Often,allegations made note of the fathers names, I assume that isn’t the case here.
Are there marriages for the other individual, which may give clue to his parents, so he can be eliminated?

[crane15]

Thanks for the information I will look at it all again and find the answer.

Do the burial records give ages for the two men? That would help eliminate one of them.
