Verification & Concerns Returns to 'Top of Page'

  1. This page is obviously incomplete and error prone due to insufficient information being available.
  2. There were numerous differant spellings of "Dungate" in the parish registers. eg Dungatt, Dungat, Dunget, Dungete Dungatte
  3. Stephen is shown as the son of John because the choice of Stephen's first sons name as John and the subsequent naming of two other sons as John, implies that John was an important figure in Stephen's life and was probably his father.
  4. The children above are all allocated to John but children 1, 3 & 5 could have been children of Edward or someone else.
  5. Edward Dungate son of Thomas was baptised on same day with same name as Edward son of Stephen so may be an error.
