Thank you Janet. I did find those 4 records. Any advice on where I could go to find out when John born April 1615 died and/or what the maiden name of his wife Mary was?

I think the only thing I can suggest, Sharon, is to trawl through the Ancestry parish register images of Bulkington to see if you can find their burials. Unfortunately, a lot of the Ancestry transcriptions of the earlier parish registers are pretty dire and therefore using their search engine often does not bring up any results although the actual records themselves are there, as I have found many times when searching for my own ancestors. Are any of your early ancestors likely to have left wills? If so this could be another avenue to explore. I can't find any wills on The National Archives Documents Online website nor on the Lichfield Record Office website but a lot of Warwickshire wills are held at Worcester Record Office so perhaps a search there might prove fruitful. Sorry not to be of more help. Janet Thank you Janet. I did find those 4 records. Any advice on where I could go to find out when John born April 1615 died and/or what the maiden name of his wife Mary was?
