Note on Husband: Solomon RICHARDS - shared note

Known from the baptism entries for his children. Year of birth is a guesstimate on the basis that he was aged 12 when he became an apprentice in 1604. Boyd's inhabitants of London no 58825 records that he was a apprentice to a draper on 18 June 1604 and was freed on Sept 18 1611 by Andrew Ring. "Pays Q 1612-1647 country" In 1613 took Francis Griffin as an apprentice. In the 1638 list of the inhabitants of London there is just one Mr Richards listed in the Parish of St Andrew Holborn who is listed on p 321 as paying about £14 rent a year In 1641 poll tax as a cutler near the Bars in Holborn. There is a marriage between Salomon Richards and Ann Corke on 17 Aug 1615 at St Martin's in the Fields. This may be the right Salomon and Ann. In the 1659 census of Ireland he is with his son Solomon at Harperstown, Co Wexford. Burke says he came from Soberton in Hants and married Anne Curle. I think this is unlikely. The Salomon born in Soberton was baptized on 14 November 1583. I don't know where Burke got the marriage to Ann Curle from - Anne Curle is mentioned in the will of her father John Curle of Brixton, Isle of White (1607). She was married to a Mr Buddon and seemed to have older children. There is other evidence that the writer of the entry in Burke assumed connections with people of the same name who were known about. So he wrongly identified John Richards, grandson of this Solomon with Major General John Richards. He also mispelt Soberton as Subinton. I think he also misread Corke as Curle and then assumed a (false) identification.
