Notes - ThomasA Eames(1) (#5728) was born in Fordington, Dorsetshire, England. Thomas was buried June 25, 1618 in Fordington, Dorsetshire, England.(2) He married Millicent (Eames) in probably, St.George, Dorsetshire, England. (Millicent (Eames) is #5729.) Millicent was born circa 1552 in Dorset, England. Millicent died May 1614 in Fordingham, Dorset, England, at 61 years of age. Thomas is the only man of the Eames family mentioned in those early records of Fordington that have been examined. The Bishops Transcript of the Parish Records tantalizes the researcher with the note that in 1588 "Jone Emes widow an old woman was buried ye 17th day of June." (Thomas Eames MOTHER - Joan)It's possible that other branches of the Eames family were in the town of Dorchester, which is nearly surrounded by the parish of Fordington, or that some Eames marriages took place there, but the early registers of Dorchester have not been preserved. The occupation of Thomas hasn't been discovered, nor his location within the large area of the parish. Christening records in the Bishops Transcript all identify sons and daughters of Thomas Eames
