    • From PR entry (image on FMP, viewed 11 Nov 2021)

    • No burial found, most likely died during the interregnum, between Feb 1653/4 and Nov 1660 when there is a gap in the PRs for Sellindge.
      (I haven't browsed the registers before this date, so she could be there but missed in the index, or could have moved to another parish whose records are not yet indexed online - FMP and FS checked, 11 Nov 2021)
    Siblings 4 brothers

    Thomas SWAINE,   b. Est 1536,   bur. 2 Jun 1592, St. Peter’s Church, Monks Horton, Kent, England See the place on a map and other information about it - if available (many more will be in time); also all individuals with events at this location  (Age ~ 56 years)  (Father) 
    Margaret SPROTT,   b. Est 1538,   bur. 12 Jul 1604, St. Peter’s Church, Monks Horton, Kent, England See the place on a map and other information about it - if available (many more will be in time); also all individuals with events at this location  (Age ~ 66 years)  (Mother) 
    Notes 
    • A number of Lucretia Colliers are found in the area over the following century or so, probably all descended from this Lucretia. However, there was also a Lucressia Collier baptised in Gillingham (Kent) in 1627?, daughter of Christopher. She would not appear to have any link to this Lucretia and there could be others in that family.

    • Without seeing a marriage PR entry, it seems likely that the widow Margaret Swayne who was buried in Monks Horton in 1604 was the widow of Thomas, but not certain. Even less certain is that he was the wife with whom he had his children (any or all). There may well be more information in her probate inventory / grant of admon. (assuming the latter survives).

      However, now seeing the PR entry it is highly probable that they were the parents of the children shown here.

    • From PR entry (image on FMP, viewed 11 Nov 2021)
      "John Collyer and Lucressa Swayne were maryed the 6 of February."
      (this date is a week earlier than that shown by Cowper's transcripts for the issuing of a licence, so the marriage may have been a week or so later)
    Marriage License 13 Feb 1597/98  Canterbury, Kent, England See the place on a map and other information about it - if available (many more will be in time); also all individuals with events at this location 
    • "Collyer, John, of Selling, tailor, and
      Lucretia Swaine, s[ame]. p[arish]., v[irgin]. Feb. 13, 1597."
      (from Cowper, vol. i, col. 100, PDF p. 35)
      The exact date may be wrong - it is a week after that in the PR entry for the marriage.
