I would appreciate a little help in solving a problem I've stumbled upon in my tree.

I have a Lancelot BRYAN b. circa 1556 who had 7 children one of which was Launcelott BRYAN baptised 01/04/1594 in Much Wenlock and buried 27/03/1634 noted as a "poor man".

I have found a series of magistrate sessions involving a Lancelot BRYAN taking place in 1620, 1634 and lastly in 1640. As the last session occurred in 1640, that was 6 years after Launcelott's death. However I have been unable to find any other Lancelot or Launcelott BRYAN's. Any help in addressing this date / name problem would be most welcome.


Additional info:

Lancelot BRYAN married Margarett Gryffys on 03/02/1582. they had 7 children.

Launcelott BRYAN married Elizabeth Dawley on 20/10/1621 they had 4 children.

All occurred in Much Wenlock.

Thank you.
