Person talk:William Seeley (2)


Parentage? [25 July 2012]

Since the baptism of this William Seeley is known, are the parents or at least the father? It would be strange to have a baptism done with no mention of any parent.--DMaxwell 11:10, 25 July 2012 (EDT)

The following is copied from the web page that is the source for William's baptism date. The website focuses on the descendants of William's son Robert, and does not seem to have any more information on William or what information is included in his baptism record, nor sources for any of the information in this paragraph. It is possible that the book the website is based on has more information.
'ROBERT SEELEY ... Son of William (christened 23 Feb 1563/4, Great Gransden; d 1614; bur 5 Jun 1614, Bluntisham) and Grace Prett (bur 15 Nov 1635, Bluntisham) Seeley. They were married 30 Sept 1584, Great Gransden. It seems likely that William Seeley was the son of Thomas (bur 6 Oct 1579, Great Gransden) and Elizabeth Mitchell/Michell (christened 11 Jul 1539; bur 24 Feb 1563/4, Great Gransden) Seeley. Thomas Seeley was the son of William (bur 8 Dec 1565, Great Gransden) and Elizabeth (bur 6 Sep 1560, Great Gransden) Seeley.'
