Just to sort these dates out, did he die in 1643 rather than 1543? The will was proved 11 May 1646.

Looking at the will, I'm not seeing a ship anywhere. The opening reads (after the date) ...

... I Brutus Bucke esq(uire) Captaine of the fforte
of Sandome in the Isle of Wight, being in perfect health ...


I think he was a military captain, not a seafaring one.

Something on the fort here ...

Too soon even for the London Gazette. Your dates are during the Civil War. King Charles was arrested and handed over to Parliament by the Governor of Sandown Castle.

Bucke must have been a Parliamentarian.

There's a mention of Bucke being at Sandham here (on pp. 63-4) ...

Other information on Sandham Fort if you google.

That link does not seem to work. Try https://archive.org/stream/oglandermemoirs00oglagoog#page/n106/mode/2up

Works for me, Stan, on all my devices. I can confirm that your alternative link leads to the same page.
