Thomas Bulkeley was first recorded acting as auditor for the Exchequer 1455/57, was employed by the Exchequer for 35 years, and died as Controller Port Sandwich 1490.. No evidence has been found regarding his ancestors. The will of Thomas Bulkeley of Woolwich and Sandwich Kent mentions his first wife Denise (Dionisia?); Children William (employed by Exchequer first 1475), Hohn, Anthony, and one daughter married to Gerald Wood girdler London. His second wife Agness Grey daughter Thomas Grey died 1523 in Lambeth Surrey. Possible ancestors include: 1 . Bulkeley of London (recorded from 1200 onwards) 2 Thomas Bulkeley of Chedle Cheshire (1350-1425) 3 Thomas Bulkeley of Eaton Cheshire (1350-1425) 4 Roger Bulkeley - proctor/chancellor Oxford University (1400-1476) Perhaps someone possesses evidence of a connection with the Grey family in London, Essex, Kent, and Surrey. Treasurers of the Exchequer John Norbury (Bulkeley) 1400, Edmund Grey 1463/64, William Grey 1469/70 also suggest a possible link. It is remarkable that Thomas was employed all his working life in the Exchequer (35 years) Another possible link is Woolwich Manor. The Chicheles (Henry founder All Souls College Oxford University), his sons Robert and William (Sheriffs and Mayor London 1405-1427 held Woolwich Manor). John Tattershall held through his wife Agnes Chichele, and finally Anne Tattershall daughter John who married Sir Edmund Grey. Any ideas? SincerelyYours Paul Bulkley
