William Munn 1744-1802 Susannah Randal 1746

William Munn 
*Born 2 Feb 1744 Astley, Worcester, England (see note below for explanation)
Parents:  Joseph Munn and Elizabeth (unknown surname)
Married Susanna Randel 2 Nov 1769 Grimley, Worcester, England
Died 17 Nov 1802 St John Bedwardine, Worcester, Worcester, England
Note: * On Ancestral file, the birthdate given by Lorin E Munn (3GGson) is listed as "abt 1744" in Grimley, Worcester, England. I checked for William Munn among the Grimley Parish records within 20 years of 1744 and there was nothing.
However, I did find a William among the Astley Parish records. Astley is only 11 walking miles from Grimley and the William I found had Joseph and Elizabeth listed as parents - it fits in nicely if we consider that William named one of his sons Joseph. There was also a John Munn listed in Grimley - perhaps a cousin? In any case, I think the Astley record may be the William we are looking for, but without further research, this line is questionable concerning William.
My grandmother (Florence Munn Taylor) had a Family Group Sheet for an Edward Munn married to a Mary abt 1752. Yet, the dates of the children on that sheet do not match this William. They are off by ten years. He is very likely related (likely an Uncle to William) however, we do not know - yet.

Susannah (Ann) Randal
Christened 2 Apr 1746 St Helen, Worcester, Worcester, England (see note)
Parents: John Randal and Mary (unknown surname)
Note:  We run into the same problem - she is not in Grimley. I did find this Susannah Randel which puts her in a better position to be the one we are looking for since the birthdate falls within acceptable limits. The record lists her parents as John and Mary - which would tie in with at least one of her children being named Mary.

CHILDREN
Of note: Without exception, Susannah (the mother) was listed as Ann on the christenings I found.  This becomes more important when Maria (child #8) begins to use Anna Maria in the christening information of her children.
