        No death record for Dorothy 1735-1740?

        Note from Marriage bonds: Christopher Edmonds, yeoman, and Mary Taylor 15th Feb 1742, Ashbury, Berkshire. Both listed as widower and widow. Bondsman is John Spanwick, yeoman. Mary died 28.09.1747. Same date as a daughter Mary. This Christopher or a son?

        There is a burial for a Christopher on 25.05.1770. Seems too old eg 90 years? Memorial confirms age and in same location as his 9 year old son buried in 1741.
