Family William HALKE, bap. 9 Oct 1575, St. Mary’s Church, Brabourne, Kent, England , bur. 14 Jan 1641/42, St. Mary’s Church, Brabourne, Kent, England (Age ~ 66 years) Married 9 Oct 1599 St. Mary’s Church, Brabourne, Kent, England - From the Parish Register (m/f images, viewed at the CCA, July 2015)
"Willm Hawcke and elyzebethe Lister were maried the 9 of october ao 1599"
These show that the bride's name for 2 consecutive entries is given as Elizabeth Lyster.
Were there really 2 marriages running for an Elizabeth Lyster? I was at first suspicious that an error had been made, but it would seem there were.
Lyster was not a Brabourne name, but the marriage licence for the previous entry (for a marriage to a John Carpenter) shows that Elizabeth was a widow from Appledore.
I speculated that maybe the 2nd Elizabeth was a relation who met through the first marriage occuring. Now I have seen the will of a William Lyster of Appledore who died in 1599. He left a daughter and a widow Elizabeth; it seems these were the two Elizabeths who married in Brabourne. A note has been added alongside the probate statement for the will, dated 27 Nov 1600, which mentions William Halk, confirming a link between a William Halk and the Lysters in the will.
Further evidence is that Elizabeth Lyster of Appledore had a sister Agnes, who fits as the one who married Boys Ower, with references to the Halkes in their wills.
