Don One possibility that I can see is Martha Mullet baptized 6 Sep 1734 at Buckland Newton, daughter of Samuel and Elizabeth. This would make her at least 32 when she married, possibly might explain the relatively low number of children. Buckland Newton is only about 9 miles north of Pi/uddletown. This is simply a suggestion, but I have no other information about Martha to suggest she married or died in Buckland Newton so it is entirely plausible she married in a nearby parish. I assume you have the dates for the other 3 children's baptisms, if not they are on the Puddletown OPC Page. Also there is an entry for a burial of Martha Snook in 1784, and Richard (Widower) appears to remarry in 1789. Evidence in terms of dates and ages at this time is somewhat thin on the ground, but perhaps this might give you somewhere to start further investigations. I have Mullets in my own family, my 5*Great Grandfather was John Mullet who had at least 8 children in Buckland Newton in the period 1787-1804. I have not traced this line further back as yet, so perhaps there is a connection to Martha. Hope this helps Jon Baker Dorset OPC Co-ordinator www.opcdorset.org -----Original Message----- Richard SNOOK baptised in Piddletown and he married Martha MULLETT 2 August 1767, Puddletown. My mountain to climb here is obtaining their birth information and their parents names and information.
