Hi all.
I'm working on a brickwall, connected to my Woodhouse line of Salwarpe, Worcestershire
I descend from John Allen and Margery Woodhouse. Margery was the daughter of William Woodhouse 1 and (probably) his wife Margery. William, her father, left his will in 1603.
Richard Woodhouse, her brother, married Christian, and left his will in 1609. Christian may have remarried a man named Thomas Smith (he was called the father-in-law of William Woodhouse, Christian's son in his will)
William Woodhouse 2, the son of Richard and Christian, and so Margery's nephew, left his in 1640. He married Elinor Spooner, daughter of William Spooner of Worcester in 1621.
And it is that will that leads to my brickwall. In the will he mentions his "cousins" Mr Stephen Richardson, and Richard Richardson, tailor, of Worcester. What I would like to do is find out what the exactly the connection is.
From my use of online resources, as well as the wills of William, Richard, and William Woodhouse, and the wills of Stephen Richardson (1612) and his son Stephen (1665) I have worked out the following.
Stephen Richardson 1 of Salwarpe. Married to Alice Callowe. Left a will (not yet obtained) in 1599. His wife left a will in 1601. Father of Stephen Richardson 2, as well as Richard, Thomas, Margaret, and Anne.
Stephen Richardson 2 of Salwarpe. Possibly also citizen of Worcester. Married firstly to Isabella or Sybil Dipple of Stoke Prior, in 1594) (died before 1612) and secondly to Frances (surname unknown) (mentioned in husband's will). Will was proved in 1612. His eldest son (possibly born in 1596) was Stephen Richardson 3. His other children were John, Mary, Christian (daughter) and Jane
Stephen Richardson 2 was a witness of the 1603 will of William Woodhouse 1. He was also a witness to the 1608 will of Richard Woodhouse, along with his brothers-in-law Thomas Dipple and William Watkins.
Stephen Richardson 3. Of Salwarpe and also Worcester. Gent. Procurators General of the Constitory Court of the Lord Bishop of Worcester. Married Katherine Crosby, daughter of Robert Crosby and Katherine Berkeley, and granddaughter of Rowland Berkeley and Katherine Hayward, a very prominent Worcestershire family. Their first child I've found was baptised in 1628. Will was proved in 1665. His children were Robert, Stephen, William, John, Samuel, Katherine, Elizabeth, Anne, Dorothy, Jane, Helen, Elizabeth, and Anne.
Richard Richardson, tailor of Worcester. Married to Hester (surname unknown) who was the kinswoman of Richard Cowling of Worcester (left will 1638). Earliest child found was baptised in 1636. Later went to Knightwick, being buried there 1681. Also left a will which I have not obtained yet). Stephen Richardson 4, son of 3, also went to Knightwick, possibly around that time period.
What I am now hoping to find out are the married names of the Richardson daughters as well as the maiden names of the Margery and Christian, the wives of William and Christian Woodhouse. My hope is that Margaret, the daughter of Stephen Richardson 1 was the Margery who married William Woodhouse 1, since the two names were interchangeable back then. What I need is information to either confirm or rule this out.
Thank you!
