Hertfordshire / Re: George Audley - Wymondley/Hitchin
« on: Tuesday 30 August 22 16:59 BST (UK)  »
Thank you both so much for your help.

I will look at this. I do have George's Will from 1602 and from what I've translated so far (very little) he seemed to leave some to his wife Annys and daughters, and some to members of the Marshall family which I believe were his daughter's in-laws.

I can see a name that looks like Johan Sooy of Godfrey and also an Edward Sooy of Godfrey (that is almost definitely wrong!.

George was a Maltster as well so it would make sense if John inherited that role perhaps.

In fact, I think this section of his will says something about John and employment but I haven't been able to translate it yet!

I guess if George only had daughters, he had little choice but to pass some of his things and job etc over to nephews.

And I guess he could indeed have been married before - thank you for that . I have no way to prove it sadly.

Thank you both so much for these amazing bits of help - I really appreciate it!

Hello. Hmm well it’s based on him marrying in Hitchin in truth.

His name is also listed as Awdlye, Awdley and Awdly which complicates things!

Hertfordshire / George Audley - Wymondley/Hitchin
« on: Wednesday 24 August 22 16:16 BST (UK)  »
Hello, I'm trying to find out any more information about George Audley who was born in 1538 in Wymondley and died in 1602 in Hitchin. He was my 10x great grandfather.

I'm looking for any potential parents but I seem to have hit a dead end. He was maried to Agnes Rugmer. I have a copy of his will but no details of parents or siblings.

They had four children:
Susanna, born in 1576, died in 1587 aged 11
Avis, born in 1580
Rhoda, born in 1584
Mary, born in 1588


Could anyone possibly help me or suggest where I could try next please?

Thank you so much!

Bedfordshire / Re: Feild family of Cople

Thank you John - I think I must have missed that when Iwas searching through the Parish records!

I think I need to accept that this is as far back as I am going to be able to go.

There's a real weird mystery where a man called Field but from Yorkshire came to Cople and married an Elizabeth Skelton but I can't see any link between him and my family - which is a darn shame as it'd open up a full tree all the way back to the 1200's! It just seems too much of a coincidence that someone with that name would come all the way down to Cople from Yorkshire for no reason!

Ahhh darn - maybe not my John then! This is so hard, Ive tried everywhere!

I have that he married Ann Andrews and they had:

Ann 1603
John - 1633
James - 1636
Mary - 1639
Edward - 1641

I'm descended from Edward and he is a pain in the proverbial as well since he seems to have had another three children with his wife Mary Manton AFTER she died!!!!

Thank you so much for any advice you can give!

Bedfordshire / Feild family of Cople
« on: Thursday 04 August 22 15:31 BST (UK)  »
Hello,

This board has been invaluable in helping me! I've had a few wrong turns but I guess thats common.

Anyway - I've traced my oldest ancestor on one line back as John Feild born 1604 and possibly dies 1684 in Cople.

However I can't find any record of a marriage (probably to an Ann Andrews) or of his parents at aall. I've tried all the usual pages and read line by line the parish registers for the time.

Has anyone got any advice on what to try next please? I keep finding a John Feild born in Leighton Buzzard at the same time but thats not him!

Any advice greatly received!

Thank you John! Looks like I need to take another look at all of this and do some untangling! Thanks!

Thank you! But I guess no reference to a second marriage for Edward? Because Mary Can’t be his mother!

Ugh! I keep hitting these mysteries in my family history!
