Research Notes

• This seems to be a conflated profile. There were 2 Thomas Bishops married to women named Sarah. One lived in Walpole, Suffolk and the other in Mileham, Norfolk. This Thomas was from Walpole, but the wife connected, Sarah Watson, was married to the Thomas in Mileham.
• When you look at christening records for their children, you will see there are 2 sets of children being born with overlapping dates. One set being born and baptized in Mileham, Norfolk, and the other being born and baptized in Walpole.
• Sarah Watson needs to be removed as wife of this Thomas Bishop and as the mother of Joseph Bishop.
