· * Denotes twins.
· Please note: I have some real disturbing questions on the dates. If John Baches children were old enough to be married and have children of their own according to his will dated 1621 (which is confirmed by his death a month later) then the twins would have been 7 years old. The year must be wrong on the Parish Register or they were not baptised until they were older. Was Katherine the Mother of these children? Hard to say, I would think not.
