Death[1] Bef 7 Jan 1562/63 Blofield, Norfolk, England

Although his will names no places, it is obvious that he was of Blofield, because he refered to the parish church of Saint Andrew which is in Blofield, but more, he bequeathed to his son John the tenement called Gibbs. This tenement was in Blofield and was later bequeathed by John's son, John Junior, in his will of 1593. Thus, these two items in his will establish William as being of Blofield and that he was the father of John.
