Looking for any information on Henry Yaxley Bowthorpe. I believe he was born in 1588 and died in 1643. I think he also had a son Henry. Any further information would be gratefully received thank you.

Please see heading above - you have posted on the How to use Rootschat (please don't post requests here) Board
Born where? Died where?
Where did you get his name from? How have you arrived at his birthyear & where did you get 1643 from as his year of death
Where was Henry born & when?
Have you seen all the replies on your other post in September as there has been no response from you?

Is it Henry Yaxley of Bowthorpe?

Bowthorpe Hall main east front [5993] 1978-09-09
This property belonged to the Yaxleys in the 16c and was for many years the home of Catholic recusancy. About 1620 Henry Yaxley, with a view to defeating forfeiture as a recusant, conveyed the property to one Browne of Colney as a trustee who it appears proved dishonest. Sir Robert Yallop rescued this and other properties during the Commonwealth and for his good services Yaxley conveyed Bowthorpe to him. Sir Robert died in 1705. The Hall is of 17c style and was probably rebuilt by Sir Robert.

see page 425
It names the wife of a "Henry Yaxley of Bowthrop (sic). You can determine the approximate YoB of her brother Sir Edward from the last para - "upwards of seventy years of age at the outbreak of the civil wars ...". If she was a younger sister of Sir Edward she might be a candidate for the wife of "your" Henry Yaxley, born 1588?
It mentions her sister Magdalene, wife of Philip Parris, and elsewhere I have spotted "She died Jan 25 1650 and is buried in Lynton in Cambridgeshire".
