Hi Diane think is was me who sent you the message about Cecily Playstead and John Malson. My direst ancestor was John but I think its nice to know husbands and wives to put on your family tree. I would be interested in her birth date. Regards Liz Clarke

The Flemingstone Parish Register has:

25 Mar 1696 Cissell PLAISTEED daughter of Edward & Cissell.

According to the Plaisted Book Cissell ANDREWS was Edward's second wife, he was 42 and she turned 16 just before the birth of her daughter Cissell. They had 5 more children born 1698 to 1708, Cissell died in 1710, Edward died in 1719.

But there are two unexplained burials in the Flemingstone PR for an Anna Maroo [Maria?] PLAISTEED in 1672 and Edward PLAISTEED in 1676. These burials predate Edward's first marriage in 1681 so they are unlikely to be his children.

I have my doubts about the age difference, I think there were two Edwards, father & son, and it was Edward Jnr who married Cissell. I have not found the source of some of the dates in the book.

Best wishes from Diana
