Looking for the parents and siblings of John STILL - information primarily before 1550.

He became a minister and was in Hadleigh, Suffolk and later became Bishop of Bath and Wells.

I am looking for the dates/places of births, marriages, deaths and burials of his parents and siblings.

He became the Rt. Rev. John Still, Bishop of Bath and Wells and is buried in the Wells Cathedral.

Thanks

London and Middlesex / Tryon, Trioen, Tryoen Flemish Weavers to England
« on: Thursday 04 April 13 08:49 BST (UK)  »

Seeking information on this family. They were Flemish weavers and have been known to have been in Ypres, Wulvemgem, and Antwerp, Belgium.

Some records suggest that part of the family settled in Bibury, Gloucestershire, prior to 1600.
Other records show a Pieter Trion, a Flemish weaver came to London  ca 1550-1560 with £60,000 and set up his cloth trade and weaving business. Many of his family were members of the Austin Friars Dutch Reform Church, others the church of St. Christopher le Stocks.

So far, none of the records show just how each of the families are related to each other. Other members of this line are found in other areas of England. Would appreciate any information on the family, the cloth trade, history of it, etc.  Thank You.  Mikki

England / Tryon Family, Bibury, Gloucester, Bulwick, Northants, London, Middlesex
« on: Sunday 08 May 11 23:21 BST (UK)  »
Seeking information on the Tryon Family of London, Middlesex, Bulwick, Northants, and Bibury, Gloucester.

Peter Tryon came to London, ca 1560, with £60,000. He was a Flemish weaver and the Tryon's left the areas of Flanders and the Spanish Netherlands due to religious persecution by the Duke of Alba.

I have found bits and pieces of information and references to the family in London, primarily at Christopher le Stocks and Austin Friars Dutch Reformed Church; in a census record, he was listed as living in the "worm on the hoek" - worm referring to a costly red dye used in the cloth trade, and 'hoek' possible meaning the corner house, and from what I have found, it meant he lived in the red house on the corner.

Peter's son Moses, bought the manors of Bulwick and Harrington, ca 1619-1620 and it has been the family home since then.  There was a William and Rebecca Tryon, who lived in Bibury, Gloucester and it is said they had 3 children; Rowland, William, and Thomas.

It was William that is thought to have been the immigrant ancestor for the Tryon's in America.  I would like to find the common relatives/ancestors, of those Tryon's living in London, Bulwick and Bibury.
