========================================================================== Elizabethan Essex - a names index The following names are indexed from "Elizabethan Life" by Dr Frederick George Emmison Dr Emmison is a former County Archivist of the Essex Record Office and has written many books, with the advantage of his unrivalled access to Essex historical material. This book is full of names, based especially on Wills and on court records. In indexing it, I have tried to include anything directly useful in a genealogical sense. Dr Emmison's own index is very good but not quite complete. In many cases I can supply a little more material by reference to the book. This book is but one volume in a set of five, all entitled Elizabethan Life but with different subtitles. Where the date of a will is given, it must usually mean that the person died within a few years of that date. In quoting from wills, Dr Emmison obviously only picks out odd items. I have used abbreviations as necessary. To save space I have often used W1571 instead of will 1571 or 1571 will. Where I can, I have given the place-name at the beginning of the description field. If you import the file into a spread-sheet and parse it, you can sort on the description and thus get the file grouped very largely by locations, eg you will find over 80 names referenced to Colchester. Indexed by Mike Foster, Wellington, 1994. The book is my own copy. ========================================================================== ABBOT Richard Colchester tanner, pump access for wife, W1571 99 ABBOT Robert Maldon baker,
