This profile states Thomas Everard of Waltham Magna, Essex is the same person as Thomas Everard of Linsted, Suffolk, England, and his parents were Henry Everad and Catherine Gawdy.

There was a Thomas Everard born in Waltham.

So, from 1551 through 1593, Thomas the father of Mary was of Waltham, Essex.

The Thomas Everard of Linstead, was likely born in Linstead, in 1660 and died in Linstead in 1633

According to the Visitations of Suffolk Thomas Everard of Linsted was the son and heir of his father Henry Everard of Linsted.

Why would an heir of Linsted Suffolk move to Waltham Essex? I think Thomas Everard of Waltham is a different person than Thomas Everard of Linsted.

Perhaps these are two separate men and should be split?
