Just slightly mistranscribed with 2 t's -

Births Jun 1896
Wootten Thomas James Greenwich 1d 1120

There is a possibility that Henry Wootten born about 1836 was first married to Jemima Parsley in Greenwich in 1853

There is a matching birth and death for Jemima but it's dubious.

Jemima Parsley born 1841 and died as Jemima Wooten in 1880 aged 39
But by this reckoning it made Jemima 12 years old when she married and 13 years old when she had Henry Jr !!!!


1861 census for Greenwich
Henry Wooten 25,Ag Lab, born Greenwich
Jemima 23, born London
Henry 7, born Greenwich
Eliza 3, born Greenwich
Ann Firs 60, visitor, born Greenwich

I can't find the family 1871 but I was looking at this 1881 record and wondered about it.
1881 Greenwich
Henry Wooten 50, WIDOW, born Greenwich
Maria Wooten 16, born Greenwich
JAMES WOOTEN 11, born Greenwich (maybe heis the step brother born 1869 )
