'from Bones in Farringdon Street, London (17th century)'
Average man : (5'6 inches)
Average woman: (5' half an inch)

So Christopher was taller and fit to be a Pikeman - the pikes measured 16 feet+

That's a lot taller than I imagined but still a hard job to manage a pike.

REPLY TO A SECOND MESSAGE
I received an email about John MALSON 1691-1739 who married Cisely PLAYSTEAD in 1719 but my reply bounced so I am posting my answer here.

I do have Cisely in my tree (just her baptism) but she is extremely distantly related, my 6th cousin 5 times removed. Our nearest common ancestor is Thomas born ca 1504 at Mildenhall Wilts, the one who moved to Westbury on Severn.

I can't help with any children but I do have a sketchy tree of Cisely's ancestors. This information comes from ‘The Plaisted Family (North Wilts)’ by A.H. Plaisted and some parish register entries. Let me know if you want any details.
