Men cannot be trusted as this parish register entry from Fittleworth shows: "Robert ye sonn of Elizabeth Jones (whose Husband being Hugh Jones a Butcher ran away & cheated ye country) bapt Apr 13th [1634]." Presumably Hugh Jones (who had married Elizabeth Cook in 1631) chose to abandon wife and daughter as well as avoid some form of military service. It seems unlikely he ever returned as Elizabeth remarried in 1639. Hopefully to someone more reliable!
