3511 and 3512: the impulse is to link these two as the name is the same and the two parishes are very close. Fielding identifies them as the same person, saying that he died in 1719 and was buried at Cuxton 2 Dec 1719. The problem is that the incumbent of Shorne is recorded as having resigned his benefice, and the date of the next appointment is later than that for Cuxton.
