ASHBY?

 

Henry ASHBY

 

 

bd.

dd. bef 1737

 


Children:

John ASHBY

dd. < 1744

 

Alice ASHBY

 

Winifred ASHBY

dd> 1744

Note:

Winifred’s will is very informative and it is thanks to her that many of the connections in this branch are made.  She leaves money to her brother John ‘if he hath need’ and to her sister Sarah Ashby, and presumably also a spinster.  Her nieces and their children also benefit, but it is interesting that Alice Mitchel nee Gilpin and Winifred Hall nee Gilpin do considerably better than her other niece Sarah Roberts nee Gilpin.  She remembers her great niece Mary Hall and nephew Henry Mitchel to the sum of ten pounds a piece (worth about £1177 today).  Her ‘wearing apparel is left to her sister Sarah.
