BIRTH

 

It is presently assumed that John-9 married M around 1680-1690 at Forest Hill and baptised children there to 1703.  This is quite speculative in the absence of the parish register, which is lacking the years 1680-1700.  If this hypothesis is correct however, there is a suitable baptism for John-9 at Forest Hill.  There was only one family of SOANES in the Forest Hill register baptising at this time, and their family includes a suitable John:

 

C 14Jul1664 John  s Thomas SOAN

 

MARRIAGE

 

It is presently assumed that John-8 was the son of John, born around 1690 at Forest Hill in the period for which the parish registers are deficient.  Their last child William was baptised at Forest Hill in 1703 so, assuming a 10/20 year child-bearing span, the marriage would have been about 1680/90.  No suitable marriage has been found and it is likely that this also occurred at Forest Hill during the period 1680-1700 for which the registers are lacking

 

DESCENDANTS

from Forest Hill register:

 

C  2Nov1701 Joseph    s John SONES

C 19Sep1703 William   s John SONES

 

John-8 married in 1716 and is assumed to have been born around 1690/5.  Another possible descendant is Thomas who baptised children at Forest Hill from 1714 to 1727, but no sons were named John, and at the baptism of his first child Edmund he was noted as Thomas junior; more likely therefore that he was the son of another Thomas, though the only previous Thomas at Forest Hill was baptised in 1651 and no evidence that he had any descendants.

 

DEATH

 

burials at Forest Hill:

B 13Apr1743 John SOANS

B  5Mar1748/9 John SOANS and M his wife

 

It is assumed that John and his wife M were John-8 and his wife Mary Alsop, leaving the 1743 burial for John-9
