Notes |
- John was the firstborn, but he is listed as an invalid or idiot in his father's will and Richard was therefore given the duties of the firstborn in the will. His birth date by some is conjectured to be the 1567 christening date belonging to a John, son of Richard. There is a Richard of Morley that has a son John in 1591 but that same Richard appears to have named a second son, John in 1598 which would have been too late for this John to be the father of Bartholomew. Instead of Richard, his father could be William, as William christened a son, John, on May 24, 1564 in Wilmslow also. (C-204)
The siblings I have listed for him are taken from similar christening dates to children of the Richard of that time period. (C-204)
He is listed as John of Houghe in his son, Bartholomew's christening record in 1610 at Wilmslow Parish, Cheshire, England. Hough is a village currently on the south side of Wilmslow and 3 or 4 miles from Mobberley. It is the only christening record that is available for John of Houghe's children in the Wilmslow Parish Records. (C-204)
Either one of these Johns might be the one who had a son John out of wedlock. A John's burial record lists him as the bastard son of John Coppock, b. Sep 1593 in the Mobberly Parish records. He was born and buried on the same day. (E)
