Father John GUY, b. 1702, Owermoigne, Dorset d. 1744, Owermoigne, Dorset (Age 42 years) Relationship natural Mother Joanna SANSOM, b. 1706, Broadmayne, Dorset Relationship natural Marriage 16 Apr 1727 St. Peter, Dorchester, Dorset [3] Notes - This marriage record appears to be the most sensible.... I can find no record of suitable baptisms before Mary in 1731, in Owermoigne or any nearby village or town. So there is a gap between the marriage and the first child, but perhaps not unreasonable either.
The marriage record says they were both from Owermoigne, so I am not sure why they were married in Dorchester, and it is possible that one or both of them had worked there or that Joanna was pregnant (but no baptism record to say this)

Family Martha WHITE, b. 1736, Hilton, Dorset Marriage 6 Jul 1761 Hilton, Dorset [4] Notes - There is a considerable distance (15 miles on foot) from Winfrith, where Joseph comes from, to Hilton, where Martha had her church and they were married. However, this seems to be the most obvious match of the records available, and since their first child is baptised in Owermoigne, it suggests that they met in the Winfrith area, and returned to her home church for the wedding. I have therefore restricted the checks on Martha's baptism to very close to Hilton, with the results given
