Biography

Susan Raulins is probably the Susan baptised on 14 April 1605 in Bromham to William Rawlins alias Butler and his wife Mary Rawlins alias Butler.[1][2]

Susan married Thomas Colman on 24 November 1623 in Wootten Rivers.[3]

Susan passed away on 17 November 1650 in Newbury, Essex, Massachusetts.[4]

Research Notes

  • Susanna's marriage record refers to her as 'Susan Raulens'.[3]
  • There was also a Susan Rawlins baptised on 14 October 1604 to a Richard Rawlings.[5] Further research may be necessary to confirm Susan's parentage, although for now, Bromham is technically closer to Wootten Rivers than Corsham (38 vs 45 minute drive).

Hi, would you mind adding William Rawlins as Susan's father?

As I've already mentioned, I viewed the scanned copy of the parish record for the marriage, and the name was spelled Raulmes. I've posted the scan on the G2G post. Please comment there . . .

Anne, I think the TAG article that says the author found the marriage at Wooten, Rivers, Wiltshire (recorded as Susan Raulines) is referring to Volume 2 p 1727, of the Tillotson Book being reviewed. But you are correct, as I don't have the actual book, to see the source beyond TAG's review. Sorry about that.

I've ppp'd the other profile also, so it won't merge, until we continue to hash this out. I searched Ancestry, FamSearch and FreeReg. Wooton Rivers doesn't seem to be indexed. I didn't come up with any hits (well one) for the spelling Raulines in Wiltshire, but plenty of Rawlins. We don't have her birth record. So maybe this is a case where we --- "Nevertheless, if there are any contemporary written documents, the spelling from those documents should be used. In particular, the spelling that appears in a birth record should be used for the Last Name at Birth unless there are other documents from at or near the time of birth that inform us about a more common or correct spelling."

Chris, the TAG link you listed re: Raulines doesn't have a reference to Raulines. and using that spelling only gets two hits on NEHGS that are both for Great Migration articles.

Yes, Patricia, we realize that. What we try to do on Wikitree is use the spelling that is most consistent with the records.

It's well to remember that back then people just did not care how they spelled the name. A person could spell his own name three different ways in the same document! There was NO CORRECT spelling!!! It was all pretty much phonetic -- & that permitted a multitude of sins!  :-)

We perhaps should move the discussion to G2G . . .

I personally try to determine what the spelling actually was. In this case, judging by the bulk of the Wiltshire records spelling that particular family name as Rawlins, that would be my tendency. The parish marriage record names them Thomas Collman and Susan Raulmes (and we know that's not right). If you have an ancestry paid account, you can view the actual record (which I did). So in actuality, I haven't seen a parish register with the spelling Raulines . . . As to birth, we aren't sure of her parents, but the two noted are spelled Rawlins and Rawlings. As mentioned, when searching the Wiltshire parish register, the bulk of Rawlins is spelled that way . . .

As such, I would lean towards a LNAB of Rawlins with OLN as Raulines.

Darlene, we typically do go with the spelling of the parish record (birth or baptism) . And add on that this is the spelling that Anderson used as well, that's additional weight for LNAB = Raulines. We've got Rawlins as OLN.

OK, but the parish register spelling doesn't mean that's the way it was actually spelled. Do we have any records from Wiltshire as to a Rawlins, Rawlings, or Raulines family? I located a burial record for a William Rawlins in 1608 in Bromham, Wiltshire (ref: Wiltshire and Swindon History Centre; Chippenham, Wiltshire, England; Wiltshire Parish Registers; Reference Number: 518/3)

Searching through the Wiltshire, England, Church of England Baptisms, Marriages and Burials, 1538-1812, focusing on Bromham, the majority of the time the surname is shown as Rawlins.
