Research Notes
Baptism - There is no record for the baptism of Thomas, but it has been well argued that the baptism record of William Such to John Such and Ellen Tomlinyson,[18] should actually be for Thomas Such, son of John Such and Ellen Wright, due to a mix-up with the details of the subsequent entry. See notes on FindAGrave.[19]

Thank for you adding Martha as a third spouse for Thomas Sutch. I have added some additional records for Thomas and cleaned up the formatting on the profile a bit. His children should all now have profiles, unless there is someone I missed. Please feel free to take over management of the profile.
