Hello John, how do you come to have a choice of first names for him?

Did they have any children?

When you say "any information" what do you already have so we don't duplicate it?

Thanks to all who answered.
The Person I enquired about is an ancestor of my wife.There is some confusion over his first name and place of birth as on some records he is named Thomas and others William. On some records he was born in Dover, on others Burbage.
However his wife and children seem the same on all the records.
John.
