Another vicar ancestor. Thomas Jolye c1540-1599. Was appointed vicar of Thundersley in Essex in 1569. According to Newcourt, he was appointed 15 Nov 1569, and the patron was a Thos. Wright.
I have a feeling Thomas Jolye was from Yorkshire originally. In 1599 he left a will mentioning kinswoman Ann Hage, and cousin Henry Wright of Bury. Henry Wright also mentions his cousins Jollye from Thundersley in Essex when he died in 1609, probably Thomas Jnr (c1565-1619, son of Thomas who died in 1569). I think cousin was often a term for a kinsman, such as nephew or niece, or others relative. Henry Wright in his will mentions a Henry Simpson of Skipton.
Henry Wright was originally of Skipton in Craven according to a visitation where his daughter Alice married Robert Sandwith. Henry mentions another cousin Thomas Smith, and Thomas Jolye died 1599 mentions cousin Thomas Smith, a skinner.
It does seem Thomas Jolye was a relative of Henry Wright from Skipton. A Thomas Jolye was vicar of Skipton in 1549, whether he is a relative of my Thomas Jolye is uncertain as of yet.
