There is some reference to Christopher Sprague marrying Anne Grey before his death in 1625. This comes from The 1623 Visitation of Dorset for the family of Grey on page 48 where Anne Grey is shown as the daughter of Walter & Mary Grey of Bridport and Ux (i.e. abbreviation for the latin uxor or wife of ) Christopher Sprague of Turners Piddle (now Turners Puddle in Dorset - 9 miles east of Fordington on the river piddle). Whilst we do not have the exact date Christopher was born we know the order in which the children were born from his fathers will and his birth date of circa 1607 is unlikely to be very far out making him about 16 in 1623 when the visitation was taken by which time he was already married. This seems very young to me but he could be a few years older and it is possible given his fathers death in 1614 and if correct he was marrying into a well to do family. Both Christopher and Sprague are not common names in Dorset and I have not come across another in this century. I have not been able to trace his marriage. If he followed his fathers trade, Turners Puddle is a likely location for a Fuller being on the river. He died however in Fordington but of course he may have returned to his family there when he became ill.
