Has anyone come across a Walter Addams who was the parish curate/minister for both Eastleach Turville and Eastleach Martin (also called Bouthrop) in Gloucestershire, England between at least 1607 and 1631 (the Bishop's Transcripts are intermittent at times)? He had at least two sons, the first John in 1607 and the second in 1630 (name lost due to BT damage) and at least three daughters Frances (1612), Elisabeth (1615) and Grace (1618). Unfortunately, the last son's baptism also appears to have lost his wife's name whilst the others never attempted to name her.
