Hello Paul (or other Vivash's out there!), I hope you are still using the Ancestry site and that you might be able to hep me with a couple of Vivash/Viveash related questions.
Q1) One of my direct ancestors is Josiah Martin - baptised in 1797 in Trowbridge with father Thomas Martin and mother "Dinah" (as per the online records). There is also a marriage record for a Thomas Martin and Diana Viveash on 26 Feb 1795 in Great Bedwin (yes, I know that's the wrong spelling!). Do you know if that Diana Viveash is also Dinah Martin, the mother of Josiah Martin?
Q2)Diana Viveash (as above) was baptised on 19 Aug 1764 in Trowbridge with father Robert Viveash and mother "Ann". There is a marriage record for Robert Vivash (no "e") and Ann Sanford on 16 Dec 1759 in Great Bedwin. Is this Robert Vivash the same person as Robert Viveash, father of Diana? (I understand that the Viveash/Vivash spelling was somewhat fluid in the past.)
If anyone can help at all with those queries I would be hugely grateful.
Max
