Biography

Dorothy was born in 1574 and was christened 13 Oct. 1574 at Saint Mary, Bedford, Bedfordshire, England.^[1]

Research Notes

Is there any evidence to show that Dorothy baptised in Bedford was the Dorothy who married in Chalgrave 18 miles away?

Or that the Thomas Wheeler who married in Chalgrave was the Thomas from Cranfield 13 miles away?

The NBI shows no Dorothy buried in 1653 with a surname resembling Wheeler.
