There is little else known about Mary, except that Thomas bought her a
necklace of eight rows of pearls. It has been said that he also bought her a
gold ring with diamonds 273 (gold ring enamelled, and set with nine diamonds) but
in his will he says this “was my deare Mother’s” 274 . Mary died on the 10 th
August 1668, aged only 28 years.

but it is recorded in the Alderton Marriage register (ref Alderton 1078/2, W&SHC)
and the photocopy of the original entry in the Alderton register shows that the
marriage was carried out by “William James of the avowson of Bristol”, which is at
odds with Philimore.
