BIRTH

 

The known baptisms of Thomas-9's children occurred between 1687 and 1697.  It is probable therefore that he was born between 1650 and 1670 but could be earlier.  Possible baptisms from the London IGI are:

 

C  6Oct1633 s Thomas & Ellen, St Dunstan                    54/64 yrs at C of children

C  8May1649 s Dudlea & Susanna, Allhallows Honey Lane,      38/48

C 27May1652 s Ringen & Elizabeth, St Dunstan                35/45

C  3Aug1656 s Peter & Bridgett, St Mary Abchurch            31/41

C 21Sep1666 s Leonard & Mary, St Bartholomew the Gt         21/31

C 26Sep1669 s Tho & Susan, St Giles Cripplegate             18/28

C 26Oct1677 s Tho & Susan, St Giles Cripplegate             10/20

 

only the Ringen entry examined so far along with one other Ringen SHORT found in IGI:

 

C 10Mar1650 Jane d Ringing SHORT of Kingstreet, mariner, & Elizabeth uxor, 7 days

C 27May1652 Thomas s Ringen ?HORT of Foxes Lane mariner & Elizabeth uxor, 1 day

 

Writing in register is very clear except for initial letter of SHORT in 1652; no other Ringen found in IGI; possibly a foreign mariner with a name anglicised to SHORT.  St Dunstan m index 1568-1696 had no Ringen marriage

 

The Thomas/Susan baptism can probably be eliminated as the first child Thomas probably died before the baptism of a second Thomas in 1677.

 

Thomas Short, citizen and clothworker of London made a will on 18May1669 leaving his estate in equal parts to his wife Margaret and his son Thomas. The will was proved on 28May.  There is a possible marriage of this Thomas at St Dunstan:

 

m 10Apr1626 Thomas Short & Margaret Wright

 

The Hearth Tax for Tower Hamlets (undated c1670) lists a Thomas SHORTE with 9 hearths at Christopher Alley.  This number of hearths indicates a relatively wealthy man so perhaps not a young one and it seems possible that he is the Thomas who died in 1669, wealthy enough to make a will

 

Their son Thomas then would have been born around 1630, so is not Thomas-9, but may well be his father

 

MARRIAGE

 

It is presently assumed that Thomas-8 was baptised at St Dunstan in 1691, son of Thomas, weaver of Pettycoat Lane and Jane. Other baptisms to Thomas and Jane have been found starting in 1687, no suitable m of Thomas & Jane found in St Dunstan m index, but there is one suitable m in IGI:

 

m  7Jul1686 Thomas SHORT & Jane WALBECK at Allhallows London Wall

 

the name and date suggests that this is the correct marriage, but the register has not yet been examined
