a few things on James SQUIB(B) + Martha PARISH:

At FamilySearch.org - James SQUIB

- CHRISTENING 24 APR 1713 Saint Thomas, Portsmouth, Hampshire, England
- PARENTS: Thomas & Susannah Squib
- MARRIAGE: Martha PARISH 11 OCT 1734 Shapwick, Dorset, England

This site James Squibb has very limited info, just that he was born (no year) in WIMBORNE MINSTER, Dorset, England, that he married Martha and had 4 children named Squibb, but it also says that Martha was the mother of a Martha Downe

A family tree for James Squibb has him being born in 1710. If you go to the 'Home' page on that site you will find how to contact the site owner, maybe they have more ..

Thank you once again, apart from the ref to James born 1710[ alot of others have calculated his death as 1710 & copied each other]] the other refs are mine, have been researching my Squibb family for over 40 years, its now a very large tree, my brick wall has been James! I feel now ok about James b 1713, Portsmouth is not that far away, your help was greatly appreciated, kind regards Jean [nee Squibb ] in Dorset
