I posted a query, (no. 35510), on 22/09/2008, (a long time ago!), about my extremely elusive gt grandfather and despite great efforts here to help me I made no progress, and had all but given up. However, I now have a brief set of notes written by my aunt which have given me a little bit of a...

Can anyone sort out when Ezekiel was really born, and when and where he was christened? He obviously didn't have a problem with his parents. As Thelverton and Diss aren't too far apart, either is feasible, but surely not both! Sandra England Births and Christenings, 1538-1975 Ezekiel Chilvers...
