My most elderly ancestor?
I have found that I am descended from one Edward (or Edmond) Armsby of Bletchington in Oxfordshire.
According to the Oxfordshire FHS's transcriptions for Bletchington, his burial entry reads "an aged man beinge by his own relation in his life time and the opinion of other aged men who knewe him even from their minority - about one hundred and tenne yeres of age died January 15". The year was 1628/9. Therefore he would have to have been born c. 1518. However, I'm not sure! He married Dorothy East in 1592 and they had three children - Joane, Alice and John. I am transcribing his will and I can't really find anything that would indicate his age. I think I shall have to take this with a pinch of salt. |
