Totally surprised!
« on: Thursday 23 September 10 13:38 BST (UK) »
I have been looking at the Northamptonshire Wills and have come across various wills for the BULL family of Weedon Pinckney, Northamptonshire (the Bull family are my dad's side whilst the Alibone family are my mum's side). In the will for Mrs Elizabeth Bull (probate October 1566) it states that she has made a bequeath to her son-in-law, Richard Alibone as well as Thomas Alibone (I am presuming that he is her grandson). I am wondering if there is a connection between 'my' Bull/Alibones and the Bull/Alibones in 1566 as Alibone is not a very common name.

If anybody could help/point me in the right direction I would be very grateful.

Thank you.
