Tony, what an amazing coincidence that you are researching the Delamain family. Alexander Delamaine was baptised Oct.3rd, 1631 in St. Andrews, Holborn, London son of Richard Delamaine, the mathematics tutor to Charles I and his wife Sarah. Alexander as far as I know had 10 siblings, among whom were Richard, a radical preacher, Edward, a baptist preacher, and Nicholas baptised 1634/5- is this Nicholas the same Nicholas which you mentioned or a nephew?
