- From the Parish Register (m/f images, viewed at the CCA, July 2015)
"Willm Hawcke and elyzebethe Lister were maried the 9 of october ao 1599"
These show that the bride's name for 2 consecutive entries is given as Elizabeth Lyster.
Were there really 2 marriages running for an Elizabeth Lyster? I was at first suspicious that an error had been made, but it would seem there were.
Lyster was not a Brabourne name, but the marriage licence for the previous entry (for a marriage to a John Carpenter) shows that Elizabeth was a widow from Appledore.
I speculated that maybe the 2nd Elizabeth was a relation who met through the first marriage occuring. Now I have seen the will of a William Lyster of Appledore who died in 1599. He left a daughter and a widow Elizabeth; it seems these were the two Elizabeths who married in Brabourne. A note has been added alongside the probate statement for the will, dated 27 Nov 1600, which mentions William Halk, confirming a link between a William Halk and the Lysters in the will.
Further evidence is that Elizabeth Lyster of Appledore had a sister Agnes, who fits as the one who married Boys Ower, with references to the Halkes in their wills.

Family Edward STEDE, b. Bef 1619, d. Yes, date unknown Married 1640 St. Mary’s Church, Smeeth, Kent, England
- Based on marriage licence info.
Any children of this marriage were probably baptised in Smeeth during the period for which there is a gap in the PRs (1640-1661).
