Thanks. I have a sub to Anc, and I think PCC wills are online there. I did not think to check Anc for any wills or anything. I shall take a look.

I wonder if Isaiah is related to Matthew Sutcliffe who wed Thamazin Warden in 1639 in Heybridge. A Mary Sutcliffe was baptised there in 1637, I think by his first wife Mary.

The William Sutcliffe who was from Grimsby who was posted as a vicar to North Fambridge may have been a cousin of his. His dad was John of Grimsby and Melroyd which was a small part of Halifax, down the road from Rochdale.

Stan, I get the following message from clicking on your links:
Clergy of Church of England (in England
There is currently no text in this page. You can search for this page title in other pages, or search the related logs, but you do not have permission to create this page.



I don't know why that link does not work but if you click on http://www.rootschat.com/links/01nm6/
it should take you to the page.
Stan

Thanks Stan. I thought it must be something I was doing wrong. I’ll try again.  :)

Added: Yes, that link worked (some useful info there too)

Coombs, the Clergy Database is indeed far from complete, and as mentioned above riddled with errors.
If you know where your Isaiah was the clerk, you can do a place search. When you get to the parish, it will give you a list of vicars, and in a lot of instances you will find gaps.
Some of my newly found clergy ancestors are not on there either.
I am Australian, from all the lands I come (my ancestors, at least!)

Pine/Pyne, Dowdeswell, Kempster, Sando/Sandoe/Sandow, Nancarrow, Hounslow, Youatt, Richardson, Jarmyn, Oxlade, Coad, Kelsey, Crampton, Lindner, Pittaway, and too many others to name.
Devon, Dorset, Gloucs, Cornwall, Warwickshire, Bucks, Oxfordshire, Wilts, Germany, Sweden, and of course London, to name a few.

Clergy, especially those who died in post, seem quite often to have been interred in the chancel, or at least to have had something like a memorial plaque put there. seems quite logical, to me, actually.
Threlfall (Southport), Isherwood (lancs & Canada), Newbould + Topliss(Derby), Keating & Cummins (Ireland + lancs), Fisher, Strong& Casson (all Cumberland) & Downie & Bowie, Linlithgow area Scotland . Also interested in Leigh& Burrows,(Lancashire) Griffiths (Shropshire & lancs), Leaver (Lancs/Yorks) & Anderson(Cumberland and very elusive)

Thanks. Seems it is work in progress. One day I may get a lead on Isaiah's origins.

Another ancestor of mine Samuel Bush was the vicar of Ringland, Norfolk. I found his Cambridge Uni entry.

BUSH, SAMUEL. Matric. sizar from Trinity, c. 1596; B.A. (? 1602-3). Ord. deacon (Norwich) Mar. 25, 1602, age 25; 'B.A.', C. of Banningham, Norfolk; priest, Dec. 21, 1603. V. of Ringland, 1605.

Looks like her was a clerk of Banningham in 1603. He was posted to Ringland in 1605.

Jon, I did not know the wills for Norfolk (and presumably the parts of Suffolk covered by the court) were online, quite bizarre that the Norfolk Archives wills page makes no mention of it

I've posted a query in the Norfolk forum, perhaps you'd be kind enough to post an answer there
