More names from wills. Robert YOWICKE of Neithrop September 1592. He only mentions his wife Margaret (nee BULL) and his children Alice, Annie, Elizabeth and Thomas. His brother in law Rowland BULL was the overseer. Margaret YOWICKE'S will is better, obviously Robert died before his children were married. Daughter Hannah (Annie) HELMES [married to Nicholas] - she had the bed, two pairs of sheets, a tablecloth and a yellow rug. Henry WARDE son of John WARDE of Bodicote (son in law) Robert YOWICKE grandson and eldest son of Thomas The children of Mary BULL (sister?) they all had a silver spoon each Every one of son HOLHEAD's children - daughter Elizabeth married Henry HOLHEAD they had twenty shillings each for their care. Samuel FRENCH Thomas FRENCH son in law possibly married to Alice. Catherine Moseley - kinswoman. Daughter Joyce married George MOSELEY - could this be his mother? Well beloved brother Rowland BULL.

Hi Anthea, Thanks for the rich will information -- it's a lot of new information for my HALHED tree. Which of course raises a couple of additional questions, if you please. First, what is the date of Margaret YOWICKE's will (or death date etc.)? That could make a difference to the number of 20 shilling legacies for Henry Halhed and Elizabeth's children! Second, which WARDE was the son-in-law of Margaret Yowicke, and is there any hint as to which YOWICKE daughter he married? Third, in relation to the MOSLEYs, is Joyce the fourth daughter of Margaret YOWICKE nee BULL? We did find a Joyce YOWICKE who married George MOSELEY 31 Mar 1600. However, from your message there was apparently no reference to a daughter Joyce in the will of Robert YOWICKE in 1592. Presumably, if the article on Henry Halhed and Providence Island in Cake & Cockhorse some years ago was accurate, Elizabeth YOWICKE had three sisters, all of whom were older than Elizabeth. Other information we've found re the Providence Island experience suggests Elizabeth was born about 1583, and consequently was about 17 years old when she married Henry Halhed in 1600. However, we haven't found any birth records for any of these YOWICKE daughters so far. Thanks again for the wills information. Any additional information like place of death and death dates would also be welcome!
