When was he born? MI says aged 60 in 1772 - ie born in 1712 Marriage License says aged 26 in 1742 - ie born in 1716 Under 21 in 1728 when father made his will Looks like over 21 in 1732 when his mother made her will - ie born 1711. He is the only one without a baptism date. Gervase was bapt June 1713 and Martha Nov 1715, and John in Feb 1715/16. My conclusion is that he was the eldest son and was born in 1712. Maybe he was baptised at Auborn - the registers don't go back to 1712. The implication is that he gave the wrong age when he applied for his marriage licence. source: AFN: N2J4-NG Source VRI for British Isles NEVILE, Christopher Marriage Wife:Elizabeth SHARPE Marriage Date:8 Jul 1742 Recorded in:Thorpe by Newark, Nottingham, England Source:FHL Number 503822Dates:1632-1808 1749 Sheriff of the County of Lincoln - "Christopher Nevile of Grantham" (see the Lincolnshire Family Index by Bob Hatcher http://home.clara.net/bob.hatcher/lindex.htm) Alive in 1760 when he proved the will of his uncle Francis Richards MD of Grantham
