Baptisms from the parish registers of Cranfield lead to the identification of three different Thomas Wheelers living there in the early 1600s.

1) Thomas Wheeler the elder of Bourne End
2) his son Thomas Wheeler of Wharley
3) and Thomas Wheeler of Town End

    "At first, Thomas Wheeler, whose will was given by Jacobus, was called 'of Wharley End,' then when his son married and was having children, the elder was called, "of Bourne End" and the son became, 'of Wharley End' [this latter 'of Wharley' was transcribed 'of colorly?' in the Jacobus article.].

    "Thus it is a simple matter to determine which children belong to Thomas Wheeler of Bourne End, and which belonged to his son, Thomas Wheeler of Wharley End. With five children of Thomas Wheeler left over, belonging neither to Thomas Wheeler of Bourne End, nor to his son Thomas Wheeler of Wharley End, we find the third Thomas Wheeler's family.

    "Fortunately, the entry for one of those children identified this third Thomas Wheeler as Thomas Wheeler, 'of the Town End' at the baptism of his son Richard on 13 June 1614. Each of the other four children fit into a logical sequence to form a family unit distinct from that of Thomas Wheeler of Bourne End and his son Thomas Wheeler of Wharley End."
