The Mystery Continues

"Two valuable points seem to have been established conclusively by this report. First: the claim set forth in several printed books here and abroad that Robert Royce and Mary Sims were married in Martock on 4 June 1634 is not a fact; second: the marriage in Long Sutton on 4 June 1624, with which the first seems to have been confused, almost certainly could not have been that of the young couple from whom we are descended. So the questions, 'who was Robert Royce? where did he come from? who was Mary, his wife?' are still unanswered."[3]
