Individual Details

All that is known about Elizabeth and her husband John comes from their wills. They were born in about the middle of the fifteenth century, probably in Glemsford, Suffolk, England. John was apparently a prosperous blacksmith, as he owned several buildings and lands, and left his ‘smythescraft' shop and tools to his son Thomas. He mentions his wife, three sons and four daughters in his will. One of the daughters was deceased. Her name was Alice, she had been married to a man named Bigge and had a son John and a daughter Elizabeth. Elizabeth wrote her will on September 22, 1526. She only mentions her daughter Elizabeth and her son Thomas. The will was proved on November 13, 1526. Elizabeth was buried, as her will directed, in the churchyard of St. Mary the Virgin Church in Glemsford.
