Commentary

The marriage is the only one that has turned up for a Thomas Goode to a Sarah in the area in the time period.

There were two Thomas Goodes baptized in the area in the correct period: one in Blaisdon in 1744 and one in Hardwicke in 1745. The one from Blaisdon later had a family in Blaisdon.
