Thomas Ginn of Southoe and Eynesbury died 1759

Thomas Ginn here was son of James in my last post.  I know only a little about him.  He was a Tailor.



In 1706 Thomas married a Martha Mannering at Southoe, their first child was born there.  But Southoe as we have seen was a tiny place, and by 1707 Tom and Martha had moved to nearby Eynesbury, three times larger and next to St Neots, a prospering market town.  Tom would have undoubtedly found more work there.



Tom spent the next fifty or so years in Eynesbury - he died there in 1759 aged 74.  Martha had died in 1758.

Tom and Martha had ten children

James - born in 1707 is untraced

Martha - married William Baxter at St Neots in 1729 aged 20

Elizabeth and Mary - are untraced

Thomas - died in infancy

Ann - is untraced

Robert - there were two - the first died in infancy - the second see next post

Catherine - married John Baxter at Eynesbury in 1764 - she was 38 so there may not have been issue

Sarah - is untraced.
