Commentary
Ann’s parentage
Ann was married in Ashton in Markerfield in 1718 and had children baptized there between 1718 and 1738. This suggests that Ann was probably born near Ashton in the 1690s. Ann’s burial record suggests that she should have been born about 1691. I have located only one baptism which fits: an “Aann dautr of John Chadock of Ashton”, baptism in Winwick in 1696. This baptism is a few years later than would be expected based on the age recorded in the burial entry, but I think it is not so far off as to make the baptism unlikely to be correct, as ages recorded in burial records were often somewhat too old.
John had two children baptized in Winwick, in 1693 and 1696. A John Chadock married Martha Unsworth in 1693 in Winwick.
