1. there are no parents' names stated at wedding of John Wilce & Elizabeth Blakeway in 1779.
2. assuming John born c20 years previously, only one candidate in baptisms (on this site): 1/1/1757 (parents John & Sarah)
3. so trying to establish the ancestry of John Wilce who Married Sarah Rudge, based on his age at marriage seems likely to have been born c1727
4. only baptism candidate in FoD seems to 4 Dec 1826 where parents were John & Ann
5. there seems to be two John Wilces (or Willis) born c1726: one married Sarah Rudge, the other married Elizabeth Meek.
6. there are no parents named at the marriage of the latter
7. so who were the parents (John & Ann) of the one who married Sarah Rudge and who were the parents of the one who married Elizabeth Meek?
8. the 'Maude Barrett' source (which is full of all sorts of 'holes') gives a John Wilts or Wills, bapt 3/1/1702 Ruardean (Father John Jr; Mother Mary), married Anne (no date), with Sons John, b1726 and William (poss b1735)
9. which one of the Johns is the one in #7?
10. does any of this make sense?
