Note on Husband: Abraham WHITAKER - shared note

His will says he was of Streetside within the township of Gildersome in the parish of Batley and county of Yorke, clothmaker. He makes "Mary now my wife" his executor.. This phrasing probably means that she was probably not his first wife... I have set his year of birth at about 1610 to give him time to have at least two daughters by his first marriage who now have their own children. He appears as a Juror at the Gildersome Manorial Court on 4 Jan 1654, also 26 June 1663. It is possible that he is the father of Abraham Whitaker of Topcliffe but there is no evidence beyond his name and the fact that he lived in the next parish to Topcliffe.

Note on Wife: Mary UNKNOWN - shared note

In the 1672 Hearth Tax list there is a Widd Whitacres with 4 hearths - probably her.
