John Pochin christening

[MacGrigor]

Hello,

Can anyone find a christening or marriage for John Pochin, probably in Wigston Magna, prior to 1714? I have his burial there in 1731 I think.

I'd appreciate any assistance!

I see his will is available online. I haven’t read it; does it give any clues re other  family members?

I haven't seen his will either. All I know is his burial date sadly.

In his will, he mentions:-
Father: John Pochin,
Wife: Mary
Children: Robert, Richard, Elizabeth, Mary and Ann.
Witnesses: John Goodrich, Matthew Holmes, Amy ??, Edward Davy and Armston Pochin.

He mentioned that the ancient estate of his father was settled upon him on his marriage to Mary.

Inventory signed by Richard Bruin and John Goodrich.

Married Mary Brewer (probably Brewin) on 13th October 1701.

Mary possibly the daughter of John Brewin, baptised on 22nd June 1684 in Wigston Magna.

Richard Bruin, who signed the inventory, was possibly Mary's brother, baptised on 27th December 1687.

John Bruin may have married Mary Gillberd in Wigston on 18th November 1674.

Thanks for all of that! I've found a book from 1887 that traces the rest of the family back, including a profile of the family in Wigston.

You may have the following already:-

There is a extract which gives the baptism and marriage for John Pochin, although the date of the baptism is incorrect. It should be 17th September 1668, not 17th November.

Also, Mary was the daughter of Richard Bruin - https://books.google.co.uk/books?id=VpnC3wgof6gC&dq=%22john+pochin%22+bruin&focus=searchwithinvolume&q=%221701+Mary%22

"Mary, dau. of Richard Bruin, of Wigston (a lineal descendant of Sir Guy de Bruyn, a Norman knight)"

David, thanks for giving the link to Our Family Story - this is my blog! I didn't know about Sir Guy de Bruyn, though I suspect the family at Wigston descend from the Brewins/Brewernes of Belgrave. As usual, more digging to be done.

Have you anything on the Pochins of Gilmorton?
