Commentary
Matthew’s parentage
Matthew was married in 1656. I have located only one plausible baptism: “Mathew sn of John Chaddocke” baptized in 1626/7 in Winwick.
John Chaddocke had ten children baptized in Winwick between 1621 and 1643. A John Chaddocke married Isabel Stirrope in 1620 in Winwick, eleven months before the baptism of John’s eldest child.. There were a few marriages of John Chaddocks in Winwick a few years earlier, but given the regularity of the births between 1621 and 1643, and the fact that they continued up until 1643, the 1620 marriage seems much the most probable.
