Given the date of ordination, I think that the ordination of 1717 is the same person as this.
A tangled web. I think these are all the same man. By 1786, Liber Regis describes both St. Peter and St. Michael Wareham as having been demolished. Venn (q.v.) adds confusion by naming Wareham as Warsham. Are the 1755/6 dates red herrings ?
