I am grateful to the contributions posted by Keziah2, Suffolk Sue and SG.
It was my brother and I who put the manuscript by William Hollinshed Brady into the safe keeping of the Suffolk Records Office. I did not know a typewritten transcript had been made, otherwise I would not have started to print one myself! Is it available without going there, does anyone know, please? (I live many miles away in Devon).
Some differences in dates I have noticed: William Hollinshed died 1731 in m/s, c.f. 1730 in Index. Frances Hollinshed married 1755 in m/s to the reverend gentleman who treated her so badly, c.f. 1764 in Boyd’s. Anything else, S.G.? If so, I would be very interested to know (off-list if you would prefer).
There is something quite puzzling. There was issue of four from the marriage of John Hollinshed and Elizabeth according to WHB’s manuscript: Frances, b1723, then another Elizabeth, unmarried, then Margaret who married Charles Brady and a John, about whom not much is known except that he was illegitimate and was supposed to have had no issue. This was meant to have been the end of the male line for the Hollinsheds. Yet Keziah2 reveals from the SBI that there were Daniel d.27 Sep 1814 and so born 1776, and Mary d.3 Jul 1826 and so born 1752, so where did these come from? Either the bastard John had issue that no-one wanted to talk about, or there was another line parallel to that of the William Hollinshed who died in 1730/31.
Again, your line, S.G., if you know you are descended from John who married Elizabeth, must according to our manuscript have come through Frances through her union with Parson Goodwin, or through the Brady line or through the mysterious young, illegitimate John. Again, I would be very interested to know.
Thanks to everyone for their interest.
