Marmaduke Constable was born about 1593-5, son of William Constable of Drax, co. York, gent. He matriculated pensioner from Queens College, Cambridge, Easter 1611, graduated B.A. in 1614-5, and proceeded M.A. in 1618. He was appointed Rector of Newton-by-Toft, co. Lincoln, in 1618, but was transferred the same year to Everingham, doubtless owing to the influence of his kinsman, Sir Philip Constable of Everingham, lord of that manor. Mr. Marmaduke Constable remained Rector of Everingham until his death, and was buried there 18 Aug. 1638 [John and J.A. Venn, Alumni Cantabrigienses, part 1, vol. 1, p. 380; Transcripts of the (lost original) Parish Registers of Everingham in the Archdiocesan Registry, York, kindly abstracted by Mrs. E. Thompson of York]. Mr. Marmaduke Constable, Rector of Everingham, died intestate, and administration of his goods &c. was granted to Katherine Constable his widow on 18 Sept. 1638 [Archbishop Williams' Register, folio 86, verso, Registry of Probate, York, copied by Miss Elizabeth Brunskill].
