I quite like the 1709 birth at Ashbourne. Despite the distance, the parents names are standard, and the age difference with his wife Mary Silvester is minimal.
His parents were John Mellor and Mary Wood and they married 17 March 1709 at Brailsford, Derbyshire, by license.
The licence says John was born in 1679, and was a "Serringman", a word that does not appear in my Englsih Chambers Dictionary, according to Google this name is of Shakespearan times! Mary Wood was born in 1683. So perhaps this was a high class wedding. Children: John b1709, Mary b1711, Jonathan b1712, Anne, b1715, William b1716, James b1717, Thomas b1719. They apparently lived at Blackmoreshead, which again doesn't appear to exist, although there was apparently a Blackmoor Inn in the centre of Ashbourne in the 1700s, name changed now to The Green Man on St John St in the centre of Ashbourne.
