Dear List: I am researching a long-ago ancestor named John PERRY who was born about 1578 and died 1622. Some people think he married Judith VASSEL about 1600, but that seems unlikely since her father's will mentioned John FREEBORNE as his son-in-law, and there is no possibility that John PERRY married Judith VASSEL before or after John FREEBORNE married her. I have found a couple of items at WorldVitalRecords that involve a PERRY and a WASSELL or a HASSELL. These items are: 5 Oct 1654 By Mr. Granger. Thomas Heath & Joan Perry. John Hassell, Edward Joans, wit. 15 Apr 1707 Hampshire Parish Registers, Vol. 15, p.8, John Perry & Mary Wassell,lic. 156. I am not asking about the specific persons mentioned in these two items. I have copied them into this email only to show that PERRYs and WASSELLs and HASSELLs have all lived in Hampshire, England and to suggest that John PERRY may have married a WASSELL or a HASSELL instead of a VASSELL and the difference of one letter, W or H instead of V, may explain the error in the name of his wife. His wife's first name was probably Judith, however. Does anyone have any information about WASSELLs and HASSELLs in Hampshire in the latter part of the 16th century and first half of the 17th century, particularly in the Farnborough area and in concert with PERRY information? My ancestor was supposedly a clergyman in Farnborough. St. Peter's in Farnborough has emailed me, however, that his name is not among those who have ever served at that church. Thank you very much for your attention.
