Thomas MOTLEY

   Another name for Thomas was Thomas MOTLOW.

   Research Notes:

Probably this Thomas Motley married Elizabeth Portwood. Both he and his wife were buried in South Kyme All Saints. There were two other Thomas Motleys born during this period, the first was born in the nearby parish of Coningsby in 1775; however, he married Rebecca White in Coningsby in 1801; the second was born in Swineshead in late 1776, too late to have been 59 years old in 1834.
