Family Theodore BECON, b. Abt 1555, (probably), Marburg, Germany 
, d. 18 Mar 1619/20 (Age ~ 65 years)
Other Partners: Dorcas SMITHE m. 31 Oct 1587Marriage License 2 Jul 1619 [1] - From Cowper's index of Canterbury marriage licences:
"Beacon Theodore, of Cant., Mus. Doc., and Clemencia Stroughill, s.p. [same parish], v.[virgin] At S. M. Magdalene, Cant., July 2, 1619."
Although Cowper recorded the register of licences as showing Theodore to be a Doctor of Music, the original register was checked for H. B. Thomas; there is a blot or scratch on the page but it seemed to shows not Mus. Doc., but Med. Doc., which of course makes more sense.
Despite the licence no marriage has been found. Thomas believes the marriage did not happen and that the Clemencia Stronghill named in the licence was the same Clemence Stroughle who married Thomas Everard at St. George's Church, Canterbury in 1622.
While I am well aware that unusual names are often used more than once in a family, so that there could easily have been two Clemencia Stronghills, I think the absence of any mention of a wife in Theodore's will adds weight to Thomas's argument, unless the will was written before the marriage and he failed to update it* or Clemencia died even sooner after the marriage than Theodore did.
(* I think that these days in England, a will made prior to a marriage is not valid after it; I do not know if that was the case in 1619)
