    This book reverses the burial dates of Thomas and Roberdye from what was published in the 1913 book by William Henry Wright and Gertrude Wright Ketcham, without comment on whether or not this is meant to be a correction. This book is assumed to be in error, primarily because there are clearly a number of other careless errors in this book, such as listing a child baptized 3 years after his father's will was proved (page 57) and using split years for dates in May, June, July and October (page 58). The parish register (which is not yet available online) should to be checked to determine which book is correct.

    From the will of 'Olyve Wryght' , widow of John Wright (1488-1551), and mother of Robert Wright (1516-1587): 'To Olive. daughter of my son Robert Wright ... To Katherine, Dorothy and Thomas Wright, his children ...'

  4. See citation and notes in his parent's record for the reasoning behind the estimate for his birth year.

    The Ancestral File (95CN-V1) gives his birth date as 17 Aug 1548 and place as Brookstead, South Weald, Essex, but since this is not included in the 1913 book that gives christening dates of two of his siblings, and it appears that christening dates for his father's siblings were fabricated, I assume that this is either a fabrication or applies to a different individual.
