Contemporaries of Richard Blaker

Richard Blaker married in 1607. Cuckfield parish registers survive no
earlier than 1598, and we do not have his father’s will, and so no indication of
who his brothers and sisters might have been. However, we do have these
marriages there of around the same time:

1601. Aug. 3 Rychard Bochor to Johanne Blaker.
43
44
1601. Aug. 24 John Tuckny to Isbell Blaker.
45
1607. May 20 William West & Elizabeth Blaker.
46
1613. Jul. 11 Richard Kid to Elsabeth Blaker.
47
1613. Sep. 7 John Patching to Marie Blaker.

We know that the Elizabeth Blaker who married Richard Kidd was a
daughter of Arthur Blaker, and mentioned by him in his will, as was Johanna
married to Richard Butcher. But there is no indication that the other three
belonged to Arthur’s family:

1601. Aug. 24 John Tuckny to Isbell Blaker.
48
1607. May 20 William West & Elizabeth Blaker.
49
1613. Sep. 7 John Patching to Marie Blaker.

Edmund Blaker of Nuthurst who died 1634 made a bequest to “my sister
50
Elizabeth and her husband William West.” But there is no mention in his will
51
of any Patching or Tuckney connection.

48 A Richard Blaker was one of the witnesses to the will of George Blaker of Cowfold in 1617 (see
COWFOLD), who mentioned William West as one of his good friends.
49 The surname Patching is already familiar to us from Preston Episcopi, where John Boniface’s will of 1609
refers to his daughter Mary married to Thomas Patching; and from Hove, where John Blaker married Anne
Patching in 1553
