Spellings were mainly phonetic when most people were illiterate, so don't worry too much about that.

If it were my family, I'd be more inclinded to go with the Fyfield, Essex one on the basis of geographical distance.

However, without a time machine, we are reliant on PR, some of which that far back may have been destroyed, damaged or lost. That's assuming that that you have been able to look at or for the originals rather than relying on transcribed records. Many have not yet been attempted.

It might be better to look for Wills, Manorial Records etc.

Thanks both spellings are mentioned I feel you are right about Fyfield Essex I have had a link from USA who seem to think it is the one from Shropshire and from that they have taken tree back quite a long way.Thomas Rider son of Thomas 1577 born 1603 went to Boston USA and I have checked thats ok

Have you explored the SEAX site - Essex Archives? They have a number of PR on line. Although the online images are pay-to-view, it gives you access for a selected time range, allowing you to explore anything you want.

But do check that the PR you want have been uploaded before parting with your money.
