Her brother's will of 1801 says that she is married to John Webb of Tredington, Worcester. However, I cannot find her baptism or her marriage.

It is surprising that I do not have a will for him. What I do have is a interesting mortgage between him and Frances Fidon of Shipston on Stour from June 2, 1807. It concerns some 500 pounds lent in July 1806 and a further 280 pounds lent with the instrument. The parties to the first transaction were Elizabeth Slatter, William Timms and William Gardener of Oxhill. The land was two messuages or tennements in Stourton, late in the occupation of William's deceased father Edward and Anne Steel and the March Close in Stowerton.

I say that he died before November 1839 as he is described as her "late father" in her will of November 9, 1839.

Note H00477 Index

Assuming that he was not "troubled" by the other persons taking under his father's will, then he would have inherited the land in Stourton. That could well mean that he was the Henry Timms found in various tax and other records living in Stourton in the mid 1600's. If that is the case, then he would be the father of the Edward born in 1638 , who in turn would be the father of the Edward born in 1662.

He is described as the eldest son in his father's will.

His will reads as follows:

Query why he called Robert Harris his loving brother? I am aware that often this term meant in fact "brother in law." That would make Jane a Harris. For that reason, I have used the marriage of Edward Tymmes and Jane Harris of Paxford, in Blockley as their marriage. That all ties in with the other Tymmes marriages in Paxford in the early 1600's.
