Ann Gillam Bancks query on death info.

[BronwenS]

Hi

Can anyone tell me what the 'notes'  pertain to on this register.  I get this information from Genes Reunited.  Not all of the registers I look at have notes but I am curious whether this gives the first name of her husband?

It may not be relevant but Edward Bankes married Ann Steele in Cowfold 26th April 1607.  The w probably means wife of Edward.
There is a further marriage for an Edward to Mary Beard in 1613.
What is the Gillam bit of her name?

Okay that makes sense.  I am in fact looking for an Ann Gillam who married Nicholas Bancks.  And I thought that was probably what the notes meant so I can rule that one out.  However any idea as to what (Agnis) is about, what it means?

many thanks

I am in fact looking for an Ann Gillam who married Nicholas Bancks.

They married at Ardingly in 1574
FamilySearch has indexed an Elenor being baptized at Ardingly 1575, father Nicholas Bankes
And a Mary at Wivelsfield in 1578

There are no burials indexed at Ardingly?
But a Nicholas Banks was buried in Lindfield in 1614.
There is a will for this chap, proved in the Deanery of South Malling, 28 May 1614. He was a tailor.
We can see it online (is in very good condition!)
https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/3:1:S3HY-D1M3-N3W?i=772&cat=173636

Names wife Joane, one of his daughters is Elenor, who is married.
Was Joan a second wife?
Potential marriage on the SMI, 19 Sep 1603, Lindfield, Nich Bancks + Jone Pollard.

Sussex Burials has an Agnes Bancks buried at Lindfield in 1601.
Now does that say wife of Nicholas? Perhaps someone will let us know. And could it be the lady who married as Ann?

By the way, SMI says Ann Gillam was a widow.

That burial in 1601 does say wife of Nicholas.
John Gillam to Agnes Beldame at Ardingly in Feb 1571/2 but she was a widow then too.  This could be complicated!

Thank you, Sillgen.
Looks promising!

I cannot see an earlier Beldame marriage to an Agnes but it is getting very early for parish records online.  (Edited earlier post)

Thanks to all of you - this is indeed very complicated it appears.  I was thrilled to see those two documents on line, the will which is indeed in such great condition and the Gillam one.  I assume I can buy them from the two different Sussex places that have them?

But I could be up the wrong tree - and I note none of you mention Mary as one of the daughters of Nicholas Banckes and Ann Gillam - and the gap between her birth and her siblings is rather large. 

I am looking for this family - and whilst it says Mary Bancks background (she is the person I am following)
https://www.familysearch.org/tree/person/details/2MP2-M5J

However how likely that she was born in 1594 and marries in 1606 and has her first child in 1608?
