He is brought out to Polstead in Suffolk, which is a whole lot nearer to Bramford Suffolk. Pg. 583: Thomas Rose is Chaplain to Lord Cromwell. His first child was probably born overseas. [... Lincoln, yeoman ; also of 1 other messuage, with the shops, cellars, solars and yards, situate in the said parish of St. Mildred, formerly in the tenure of John Clapshawe, late in that of John Collins, citizen and salter of London, ...]: Is it possible to get the rest of this paragraph ?. You can notice that there is not just one single line of business here, but several. This St. Mildred's church near Bredstreet should have associated families in its records. Also nearby is Allhallows too. EDWARD MARKHAM Christening: 12 APR 1681 Allhallows Bread Street, London, England. Father: JOHN MARKHAM Mother: ELIZABETH. AGNES BEDELL Christening: 06 JUL 1539 Allhallows Bread Street, London, England. Father: ROGER BEDELL. THOMAS BEDYLL Christening: 01 AUG 1540 Allhallows Bread Street, London, England. Father: ROGER BEDYLL. I wonder who those Markhams are ?. At the time Abigail Collins m. Samuel Bedle, her father is of Braintree Essex, his name is not mentioned. [Anne, wife of Daniel Mott of Chesham, and Thomas, their son, for assaulting Joshua Turner. [Entry erased]. In 1686, Daniel Mott was paid three pounds by the parish of Chesham for 'keeping Henry Hawkins when he was distracted'.]: I suspect this Mott is part of the picture too. This is up towards Tring. [John Collins, of Tower Street, London, Gent., Widr, about 36, & Martha Austin, Spr, ab' 21 ; consent of father William Austin, Esq., of S' Margaret's.]: A slightly later Collins. -SKM- ===================
