Hi,

I am trying to trace details of Mary Vokins, baptised 26th December 1685 in Sutton Courtenay, Berkshire, (now Oxfordshire), England.  Parents: Robert Vokins (1661-???), and Mary Brown (c1664).

The Will of her brother, Robert Vokins, who died in 1765, mentions, among others, sister, Mary Tyvioll, (Tyrrell??), Robert Tyrrell, of Drayton, Berkshire, (possibly brother-in-law??), nieces, Mary Stone and Sarah Stone, daughters of sister, Hester Stone, nephew, Thomas Stone, sister, Sarah Malam, and her daughter, Elizabeth, wife of .........Beasley, of East Hendred in the county of Berkshire,  Elizabeth Tyrrell, the wife of Avery Tyrrell, of Drayton, Berkshire, and Whitebread Vokins, of the Minories in the City of London, a Turner??.

I cannot trace a marriage between Mary and Robert Tyrrell. Neither can I trace any burial records for them. I will be looking into the other names mentioned in the Will in the future.

Any help gratefully received.

Kind regards,

Coreen

Hi,

Thank you mckha489. It seems that the correct date of Avery's first marriage is indeed 08/01/1692 (especially as I believe her to have died in 1693).

Kind regards,

Hi,

Thank you for the quick response. From previous records I have looked at he has been recorded as having married Mary Knap on 08/01/1692 so perhaps that is an error in the transcript. I think Mary died in 1693 and then Avery went on to marry Ann Wood on 25/10/1694. They had a son, Thomas in 1696, and then Ann seems to have died in January 1698.  I wondered if he had married again after Ann's death as in 1702 another Thomas Vokins was born to an Avery and Elizabeth Vokins.

Kind regards,

Coreen

Thank you for that.

Hi,

Thanks for replies. Will definitely have a look at those Wills.

I am not 100% sure re baptism but thought she was possibly the Marey Hocins baptised 28/04/1656 in Charney Bassett, Berkshire. Father: Richard. Mother unnamed.

Kind regards,

Coreen
