Thanks so much, MPGriffiths. I'll keep this in mind. William could be the grandfather of the Gough whom I estimate was born about 1655 or later, considering his wife (my ancestor) died in 1726. Her son, also my ancestor, born in 1693. Hypothetically, if she was age 60 when she died (that's probably pushing her luck in that era) she would have hypothetically been 27 in 1693. So my guesstimate of her first (and possibly only) husband's birth year is about right. Very intriguing!
