The Bishop's Itchington Parish Records started in 1560.
From the records available on the LDS Isabell is known from the following
Her marriage to Henry HOWSE on 15 Dec 1562 Warwickshire Parish Registers 1538- 1900 Collection ( WPR )
Note: Henry has been recorded as a Henry HEWS ( reason unclear ).
But their marriage is also recorded on the LDS England Marriages 1538-1973 Collection where he is recorded as Henry HOWSE.
If you then search the WPR for HOWSE births in Bishop's Itchington you should discover the following children.
Edward bap 15 Apr 1567
Katherin bap 29 Jan 1571
Henry bap 22 Nov 1575
Willm bap 26 Jun 1568
Susan bap 15 Mar 1563
The lineage is as follows:-
Susan married Thomas POOLE 24 Apr 1586 Bishop's Itchington
son William POOLE bap 23 Apr 1592 married Joane SMITH 16 Jan 1615 Bishop's Itchington
daughter Sarah POOLE married Joseph LEWIS Snr 12 Aug 1665 Bishop's Itchington
son Joseph LEWIS jnr.
He is recorded as being the father of 4 children bap between 1709 Sarah and 1715 Mary. Unfortunately no mothers name is recorded on the baptism entrys. At present I don't have a name for her.
Hope that explains the link back to Sarah LEWIS.
Apart from the marriage of Isabell the ONLY other FISHER to appear in the Bishop's Itchington Parish Registers in the 1500's is Edward FISHER the son of Thomas. He had 4 children Dorothie 1568, Tho 1570, Katherin 1572 and his heir John 1576. ( Source WPR from LDS ). No mother's name is given.
From the Visitation of Warwick 1619 ( a free copy is available from archive.org ) pgs 19-20 gives the FISHER family tree and their connection to the HOLTE's. Frustratingly only Edward is recorded being married to a daughter of Sir Rich LONGE.
Edward is recorded as being 30 years of age when he inherited from his father Thomas in 1577 putting his birth at 1547 ish.
Isabell being married in 1562 puts her birth possibly in the late 1530's but more probably the start of the 1540's.
For a little more information on the HOWSE family see "Change and Decay: The Warwickshire Manors of the Bishop of Coventry and Lichfield From the Late Thirteenth to the late Sixteenth Centuries", this is a Phd thesis by Penelope Jane George UPTON ( 2002 ) which is available to download.
As ive said no direct link between Isabell and Edward at present can be found only circumstantial evidence based upon the following
They were both FISHERS of Bishop's Itchington born about the same time.
No other FISHERS were either married, baptised or most importantly buried , which might indicate an earlier FISHER family, during the late 1500's other than those for Isabell and Edward.
From the Phd thesis youll see ( pg 165 ) a little about Henry HOWSE. Unfortunately this could turn out to be Henry's father. ( Will need researching to back this up ) but since this Henry appears to be of some standing in Bishop's Itchington it's plausible for either his son or himself to marry into the newly arrived lords of the Manor of Bishop's Itchington in 1547 namely the FISHER family from Warwick.
This may of course turn out to be pure fantasy. Hence my asking if anyone has more information on them.
