• Notes

  Early Life William Blucke was born c. 1600 (by extrapolation from his descendents). Family Life There is a Buckinghamshire Marriage record for William Blucke and Ann Clay, who married in 18 Jan 1625 at Great Kimble. This seems a little far away, in the early 17th century, for a couple who went on to have a son in the City of London, but so far it's the only lead. Will First, leaving no wife1 I divide my estate into two equal parts ... one part whereof I devise and give to my two sons William Blucke and Matthew Blucke equally to be divided between them and the other part which is in my own power to dispose I give as follows, first I give to the poor of the parish of St Olaves Southwell in the County of Surrey £5, then I give to the poor of the parish of Saint Martins Ludgate London £5, then I give and bequeath unto the poor of the parish of Saint Gregories[?] near St Pauls London £5, then I give & bequeath unto the poor of the parish of Wedlingburrow [Wellingborough?] in the county of Northampton 40 shillings. I give to the poor of the parish of Burton Latimer in the same county 40 shillings. I give to the poor of the parish of Saint Olaves Hart[?] London £5. I give and bequeath unto my sister Elizabeth[?] Bucke a [?] of about £15 or £20 which she oweth me? I give unto my loving friend Master Roger Drayton for a ring 40 shillings. I give and bequeath unto Elizabeth Shaw, Annie F[?] and Joan [?] £5 [?] owed to Elizabeth the wife of John Woods I give and bequeath £10. The 17th day of September, 1658 Note that a duplicate copy of this probate is recorded the following year, for some reason. Footnotes [1] She died in 1643
