  • Notes  Married:
    • From KFHS CD 23 (William HEAD to Susan HAWKE, 1644/5)
      I think the marriage was probably of this Susan, although older than most at first marriage, she was clearly unmarried when her father died in 1641/2. Perhaps she had stayed at home to help care for her parents and run the household.
      I have not found evidence of another Susan Halke in Brabourne, either spinster or widow, who could have married William Head.

      I think it was probably this William who died in 1646, leaving a will. That William was married but young enough to have a grandfather living who he made overseer of his will, to assist his mother who was to be executor [sic] (mother was Elizabeth KENNARD, grandfather Thomas CAPAMAN) - I have a copy of the will and have had a quick read through it but not yet had time to transcribe it. No mention of any children.
      William does mention a 'brother' Henry Hart - could this be Susan's brother in law, husband of her sister Agnes, that he is referring to? Adds weight that it was the will of William Head married to Susan Halke, and that it was the Susan shown here that he married.
