Edward Stronge by his marke<\/p>\n

[probate statement to be added; probate granted 3 Nov 1607]<\/p>\n

\n

The will was proved in the Archdeaconry Court of Canterbury and is viewable on microfilm at the CCA<\/a> or KHLC<\/a>.<\/p>\n

CCA<\/a> ref:<\/strong> PRC\/17\/54\/291 (more details about source will be on Stephen’s page)<\/p>\n

The original will also survives (CCA<\/a> ref: PRC\/16\/130 H\/7); I have not yet viewed this.<\/p>\n

\n

Thomasine followed Stephen to the grave 2 months later, probably as a result of childbirth, as the burial a few days later in the same parish (St. Mildreds, Canterbury) was of John, son of Stephen – presumably the child with which Stephen wrote ‘my wife goeth’. Hence, Elizabeth was left to inherit everything. She should have had a comfortable upbringing and a good education.<\/p>\n

It seems that the wishes of this will may not have been carried out, as Elizabeth’s guardian, John Hovenden, brought a case in the Court of Chancery on her behalf in 1622, which claims that Stephen’s brother John and his wife used Elizabeth as a servant instead of making proper use of the money that should have been used for her education.
\n(Both bill and answer survive, but so far I have only read and transcribed the bill, Elizabeth’s side).<\/p>\n

So far I have not managed to identify Elizabeth’s marriage or death, so I don’t know what became of her after 1622 …<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
