They had 6 children

All of his children were christened at St Giles,Nether Whitacre and this would seems to provides another link between the name ROTHERAM and RATHERAM.

From the dates given it would appear that John and Wynefride were twins.  On the Nether Whitacre page there is also a multiple birth recorded for  children John and Wynefride born in 1632 but they are RATHERAM and their parents are unknown.
It is too much of a coincidence for the twins not be the same ones although there is a variation in the surname.
SO the question now is which is the right sp
elling!!
