Greetings Listers If I've got it right, I may be descended from John YOUNG who married Katherine CORY in Rye on 19 Jan 1544(5). Checking the SFHG database, I find daughter Anna baptised 25 Oct 1547, buried 6 Apr 1549, described as daughter of John on both occasions. John son of John **Jurett** was baptised on 28 May 1553, Bregett daughter John **Jurett" was buried on 28 Aug 1553 (no baptism found), Recherd (Richard) son of John "Jurett" was baptised on 11 Nov 1556, William son of master "Jurett" was buried on 15 Aug 1558 (no baptism found), Elzebeth daughter of John "Mayar" was baptised on 11 Jul 1559 and buried as daughter of John "Jurett" on 5 May 1560. In the 1570s, there are children of John (baptised 1556?), Thomas, William and George baptised in Rye (no baptisms found for latter 3 fathers though). The only YOUNGs (of whatever spelling) found in Rye between 1547 and 1560, whether baptisms or burials, were children of John who was not a Jurat initially but later described as such, or as Mayor. Would I be safe in thinking that these children all belong to the one John? Also whose sons were Thomas, William (John had a William buried in 1558 so may have had another one) and George. Is there somewhere where I can check out Jurats and Mayors of Rye in the 1500s and also find if Thomas, William and George were also John's sons. "Historic Hastings" is a great book for Hastings history. Is there a comparable one for Rye? Many thanks Pam Beaudesert, Queensland, Australia
