  	Venn's Alumni Cantabrigienses shows that Michael was deprived of the living in about 1628; it seems that the reason give for this was "simony and other offences", judging by his petition for an enquiry.
  Occupation	16 Jan 1640/41	Houses of Parliament, London, England
  	Petition for enquiry
  	(I'm not sure if date is 1640/1 or 1641/2) In 1641 Michael submitted a petition, complaining of a verdict of the High Commission Court, depriving him of the living of Upminster, Essex, for simony and other pretended offences. He prayed for an enquiry. (Documented in Parliamentary Archives, catalogue entry - not yet seen)

  	Granted administration
  	Michael was granted administration of the estate of Emma BITACKE of Lambeth, Surrey, being a creditor. (from FMP, image of page from British Record Society publication, vol. 100, 'Prerogative Court of Canterbury Administrations Vol. VI 1631-1648', p.41. Viewed 5 Nov 2014)

  	Written
  Died	Between 15 Aug 1660 and 29 Nov 1660
  	Between writing his will and it being proved, assuming I am right and it was this Michael. There is no mention of him being a priest - had he been defrocked, not just deprived of his living?

  Origins
  Patriarch & Matriarch	John HALKE,   b. Est 1433,   d. 1492, Wye, Kent, England  (Age ~ 59 years)  (3 x Great Grandfather)  Phenenna FINCHE,   bur. 5 Dec 1608, St. Peter’s Church, Canterbury, Kent, England   (Mother)
  Notes	(Research):It seems clear that he followed William Halke as Rector of Upminster because he was a relation and the family had acquired the gift of the living, but how he was related is not clear. There is no mention of a Michael in William's will. He did not name his children, clearly some were young and I suspect that all were too young for a son to have followed him, but I could be wrong about this. A Michael Halke was baptised in Canterbury in 1588, son of a Thomas Halke; I think  that Thomas was probably the brother of the Rev. William Halke. The Canterbury Michael left Canterbury School part way through 1602, the year that Venn's Alumni Cantabrigienses shows that the Michael who was ordained was admitted at Cambridge. Hence it seems reasonable to assume the two are the same, especially given that Michael seems to have been an unusual name amongst the Halke family.
