Hi

I have now discovered this but it is also confusing -
https://www.familysearch.org/tree/person/changelog/2MP2-M5J

But it does have Mary's birth as
1576 cJune 18 Mary Bancks, Ardingly, West Sussex, Eng.   So not a child bride after all.

But where does it leave this one which one of you gave me.
1578 Mary Bankes Wivelsfield

I cannot find the 1576 baptism in the book I have of Ardingly registers so I wonder where that information came from originally.  Are you a member of the Sussex Family History group?  They have online records for members which you would find helpful.

No I am not a member but given the proliferation of family in that area I will probably join that group.  I have just joined the Shropshire group where I have many forbears.   

This is all it says:
Reason This Information Is Correct
wivelsford, sussex, england
I assume this is meant to be Wivelsfield?

Many thanks for your help

I may be wrong but I think that Nicholas named his daughter Mary as executor. And that probate was granted to Mary Banks.
In which case his daughter Mary was unmarried when he died.

1575 Oct 23 bc Elenor Banks, Ardingly, West Sussex, Eng.
1576 cJune 18 Mary Bancks, Ardingly, West Sussex, Eng.
1578 Mary Bankes Wivelsfield

But did Nicholas mention a daughter Potter in his will?
Two Mary Banks married within a month in Worth in 1606

Bit of luck, the first available BT for Worth is 1606

What about Mercy Ban(c)ks, bap July 1586, Worth, daughter of John? Different spellings on various transcripts.

A John Banks of Worth died in 1609, buried there, left a will (Archdeaconry of Lewes). I can't find the original. Either I missed it, or it hasn't survived. There is the copy will (is indexed on The Keep website)
But another John Bancks was buried in Worth in January 1592/3 - no info on that one.

Mary Bancks wife of John Potter mother of Thomas Potter
Hi
A will of Thomas Potter of Worth, 1681. Is it the same one?
http://www.thekeep.info/collections/getrecord/GB179_PBT_1_1_35_362B

Original will here. Nice and easy to read!

Is this research you have done yourself or is it from another source?   Banks and variants are common names in the area so it would be easy to confuse two families.
