Notes: [1] According to Robinson's 'Mansions & Manors of Herefordshire',John BRYDGES of Dormington died in 1669 aged 65, leaving 3 daughters and coheiresses - Margaret (d.1666 aged 26) wife of Thomas CARPENDER of Chilston, Joyce wife of Herbert AUBREY of Clehonger and Dorothy wife of Walter THOMAS of Swansea. It seems unlikely that this is the Testator's [?first] wife, but perhaps Margaret's husband was one of the a/n nephews. [2] William CARPENDER, Clerk, appears in the Alumni of Oxford University. He was a student at Christchurch in 1648 (BA 1649/50, MA 1652), Whyte Professor of Moral Philosophy 1657-60; Rector of Staunton-upon-Wye co Hereford 1660 and of Calverton co Bucks 1661. [3] In the CD of Herefordshire Mis produced by the HFHS, there are (un-dated) monuments to Theodosia and Thomas CARPENDER at Dorstone. [4] In 'Gloucestershire Marriage Allegations' vol 2, John PROSSER of Snowdle [Peterchurch] co Hereford, gent aged 27 was granted (on 23 Apr 1662) a Licence to marry Phillipp (sic) CARPENTER of Coleford [Newland co Gloucester] aged 22. |
