Henry MIRIAM (c1655-?)

and Mary (?-?)

Henry Miriam and Mary married before or about 1682.  No possible marriage has been found in the Sussex Marriage Index.

Henry Miriam's date and place of birth/baptism are unknown, to me.  Might he have been born on 31 May 1648 and baptised as Henry Merryam on 11 June 1648 in Horsham, Sussex, the son of Michael Merryam and Dorcas?

Mary's date and place of birth/baptism are unknown, to me.

Henry Miriam and Mary had 4 known children:

1. Henry Miriam was baptised on 15 January 1681/2 in Ifield.  Only his father's name was recorded in the baptism register.

2. Katherine Marriam was baptised on 24 March 1682/3 in Crawley, Sussex.  Both her parents names were recorded in the baptism register.

3. Henry Miriam was baptised on 23 June 1688 in Ifield.  Both his parents were recorded in the baptism register.

4. William Miriam was baptised on 12 March 1692 in Ifield.  Both names of his parents were recorded in the baptism register.  He was buried as an infant on 14 March 1692 in Ifield.

5. William Miriam was baptised on 27 August 1693 in Ifield.  Did he marry Elizabeth Truelove in 1726 and then Hannah Harrison in 1733?  There was another William Miriam born in 1692.

6. Ann Miriam was baptised on 1 March 1695/6 in Ifield.  She may have been buried on 11 July 1700 in Ifield, but the burial register records that she was an infant.

Mary Miram, widow, was buried on 27 February 1697/8 in Ifield.
