John Okey of Luton Bedfordshire

[johnP-bedford]

John Okey, wheelwright of Luton was buried 10 Nov 1734. He did not leave a will but there is a signed Admon in Beds Archives ref A 1735/21 dated 1 Oct 1735. This is a document where Ann Okey of Luton, widow and Richard Thrussell of Luton, Blacksmith and Thomas Bowers of Bedford, Innholder swore on oath that she is Ann Okey relict of John Okey, late of Luton, wheelwright and can inherit his goods etc....

That seems to confirm that it was this Ann Okey who married Richard Thrussell at Luton on 15 Oct 1735. They baptised an un-named daughter on 15 Jan 1737/38 with surname THURSNELL which was followed by burial of daughter Ann on 1 June 1738. They also baptised son Richard on 1 May 1741 who was subsequently buried on 7 May 1741. Ann wife of Richard Thrussell was buried 30 June 1741, I couldn't find the burial of Richard.
