Dear Marlene, This baptism you refer in 1693 may indeed be that of the Francis MYNOTT who married Amy LAGDEN in Bartlow in 1712 (she having been baptised in Saffron Walden in 1697). I presume that since you did not list any of the baptisms of their issue that means you do not have baptisms for Bartlow? As likely that would be the place to look for them. The burrial record is also probably for him but one would have to look for additional evidence. I'm interested in the descent of both male and female lines of LAGDEN so I'm interested in the records you list next if they are for descendents of Amy LAGDEN. At this stage that's more difficult to ascertain, even though Francis and his descent of Lydia may well qualify. If indeed the Francis I'm after was burried in Shudy Camps that may be a good indication that some of his close kin were residing there at the time. If there are baptisms for children of William or James MYNOTT in the area at roughly the same time I'd be pleased to get them, to keep in file for future reference.
