Finally now with authentication of William Chase's birth at Wivenhoe in 1595, I believe that we are now seeing good evidence of Williams father and mother who are Benjamin Chase 1570 and Helen Harvie. Because of name similarities I almost missed the connection between Thomas Chase 1520 and his son William 1553. Next, the son of William Chase and Mary Hammond, Benjamin Chase 1570, marries Helen Harvie 1570 at Wivenhoe, where their three children, Anne, George and William Chase 1595 are born. William Chase 1595 marries Mary, possibly in Yarmouth, and they are next found in America in 1630, as passengers on the ship Arabella of the Winthrop fleet
Apparently many researchers have felt unable to progress, unable to locate the father for William Chase 1595, nor his birth record. I hope this gains support. The steps I have taken now seem very logical.
