Perhaps they were second marriages for both of them ... is there =
anything earlier in the records. If so your need to check the burials. =
Did the marriage registration say anything about single/widowed etc?
Sebara was probably 12 at baptism - perhaps bad writing or transcription =
error ....I wonder if she was confirmed straight after.
regards
Lyn

Subject: [WED]CHAPMAN and LEIGH
Is anyone else, perchance, researching the families of Philip CHAPMAN =
and Ann LEIGH, who married at Wedmore on 6th September 1763? I am =
having nightmares trying to resolve dates, parentage, etc., and am =
hoping that someone else may have been able to make greater sense of the =
available data than I have.
The only Philip CHAPMAN I have found that may fit was baptised in =
1722, making him at least 41 when he married; as this seems slightly =
"mature" for a (presumably) first marriage, I'm a bit uncertain as to =
whether or not he is "my" Philip CHAPMAN. His wife, Ann LEIGH (again =
assuming I've got the right one) was baptised in 1733, making her at =
least 33 when she married - again somewhat more "mature" than the norm.
Their daughter, Sabra/Sebra CHAPMAN is described as being "age 2" at =
her baptism in 1793; this I have been able to prove wrong. She was =
described as being aged 70 years at her death in 1849, so her newly =
calculated birth date of 1779 gives her a marriage age of 27/28. With =
these figures, her mother Ann would have been about 46 when Sabra was =
born, much more believable than the previously projected age of 60!
Many thanks for reading this - even more thanks will be available for =
resolving it!
