Title: Richard Colby's wife's name
Post by: duport on Monday 20 October 25 13:57 BST (UK)
In 1606 Richard Colby married a Miss Cook in St Olave's, Southwark. The transcription (on Ancestry?) of her forename was 'Ewlalow'. In 1618 they had a son, William, bapt. at St Martin's, Ludgate. The mother's name is given on Family Search as 'Youlaw'. I'm fairly sure this is the same couple. If any of you have access to images of the original records, would you try to interpret what the wife's forename really was?

Possibly her name was Eulalie or Eulalah and the clerk has recorded what he heard.

Mother Julanyar
There is a Joan on the same page with the similar first letter, so maybe Juliana 🤔

I'm not finding a 1606 marriage,  and 12 and 14 years for children is a long time,  of course she may have lost others,
Is 1606 correct.

I looked back at the original image on Ancestry, and it's 14 June 1606. They have transcribed the groom as 'Rid Coolley' and the bride as 'Ewlalewe Cooke'.
I agree that the children are a long time after. Earlier children possibly baptised elsewhere?

St Martin in the Fields, unusually, seems to record the burials of miscarried infants.
I think there is one on 9 February 1623/4, of an infant of Eulalie and Rici Colby.

Thanks,  sometimes it's easier for another person to find if the transcribed version is given,  😉
