• Notes

  The evidence that Peter moved across Southampton Water from the Bursledon / Hamble / Wickham area to Fawley is circumstantial. First, there's only one plausible baptism or marriage for Peter anywhere in Hampshire, so there is no evidence of there being two Peters. Secondly, the sequence of children east of the water stops in 1714 and the sequence west starts in 1716, consistent with the family moving. Thirdly, there's little repetition in the sequence of children's names. (John is used three times, but we know the first two died. The only other duplicate is Peter, in 1706 and again in 1732. We have no evidence that the former had died, but neither is there evidence of him living.) Fourthly, there were no Grossmiths in Fawley anywhere in the New Forest before 1716, so they must have come from somewhere. Hamble and Fawley are only couple of miles apart by boat. An inspection of Peter's will to see if it mentions the earlier children should confirm this.
