Research Notes

• There appear to be at least 3 people named Mary Janney born within a year of each other in Cheshire England. Her marriage record did not name her father. Is there another record that clarifies her father? On 30 Oct 2020 none of these records on Ancestry.com had images, and no records were found searching on familysearch.org.

  • Mary Janney, daughter of Randle Janney, baptized on 6 Jan 1639 in 6 Jan 1639 Wilmslow, Cheshire, England.^[1]
  • Mary Janney, daughter of Randle Janney, baptized on 6 Jan 1640 in Wilmslow,Cheshire,England (is this the same as the above with a different interpretation of double dates?)^[11]
  • Mary or Marye Janey, daughter of Richard Janey, baptized 1 Dec 1639 in Wilmslow, Cheshire, England^[12][13]
  • Mary Janney, daughter of Willm Janney, baptized on 9 Feb 1639 in Bowdon, Cheshire, England^[14]
• Was she actually born exactly 1 year before she was baptized, or is the birth date given on this profile (6 Jan 1638) actually the baptism date, with a different interpretation of double dates (using the year at the time vs. the year now)?
• FindAGrave lists her birth as 6 Jan 1636, but with no source.
