    • 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).
