Father Boys OWER, bap. 12 Oct 1572, St. Andrew’s Church, Tilmanstone, Kent, England , d. Between 4 Feb 1623/24 and 11 Mar 1623/24 (Age ~ 51 years) Mother Agnes LYSTER, bap. Feb 1585/86, St. Peter and St. Paul’s Church, Appledore, Kent, England , d. Nov 1639 (Age ~ 53 years) Married 7 Oct 1599 St. George the Martyr’s Church, Canterbury, Kent, England - From PR entry (image on FMP, viewed 22 Oct 2015)
"Boys Ower & An Lyster were maried the 7th of October" - under heading 'Mariages Ano dni 1599'
A note beside the grant of administration for her father's will, added the year after (27 Nov 1600) records that by then Agnes had married Boys Ower. Hence Agnes must have married between May 1599, when her father wrote his will and Nov 1600. Although the PR entry shows An not Agnes it therefore seems almost certain that this was an error and the marriage was of this Agnes.
More supporting evidence is in the bonds which Boys Ower provided, one of which records him as a gentleman. Agnes' family seem to have been on the yeoman / gentleman borderline, so Boys' social standing is consistent with what we would expect. Added to which, I have now seen the wills of both Boys and Agnes, both refer to William Halke as brother-in-law, and in Agnes's William's wife Elizabeth and son Norton are also named, showing that it is the same Halke family (William and Elizabeth are obviously common names, but I am not aware of another Norton Halke).

"Edward Ower and Elizabeth Halke wid: were married
the 16th of May ___ 1644"
When Elizabeth remarried it was to a first cousin of her first husband, their mother's being sisters.
Not only was Elizabeth widowed in 1642, her mother-in-law's sister was married to an Ower, which may be how she met Edward, both suggesting it was this Elizabeth, but there was a Chancery Court case concerning the marriage settlement of this Elizabeth in 1657 and the plainttiff was one Edward Honywood. It seems too much to be coincidence. (This Elizabeth appears to have had an uncle Edward Honywood, her mother's brother, also a cousin with the name, son of her uncle Sir John Honywood - tree in online book)
(I intend seeing the document, at present have just seen TNA catalogue entry).
