Title: STILL Family of Grantham, Lincolnshire,
Post by: mmmmikkimac on Thursday 04 April 13 08:55 BST (UK)

Looking for the parents and siblings of John STILL - information primarily before 1550.

He became a minister and was in Hadleigh, Suffolk and later became Bishop of Bath and Wells.

I am looking for the dates/places of births, marriages, deaths and burials of his parents and siblings.

He became the Rt. Rev. John Still, Bishop of Bath and Wells and is buried in the Wells Cathedral.

Thanks

Mikki

have you tried the Dictionary of National Biography for his personal life ? - think he will be in there. you can use it online by subscription but most large libraries will have it
