BAGLEY, Thomas ^{1 2 3}

  General Notes:

Thomas had two wives, one unknown. Because his children listed in the St. Edmunds Parish Records, Dudley, Staffordshire, England, were born in quick order, it is guessed by me, that he married his second wife after his known children were born.

These same records have a clue to his mother's name. The year after he had his first daughter, Roose Bagley, a Roose Bagley married John Grove (1563). This Roose could be his sister or his widowed mother. In either case, Roose is a family name of import for him to name his first daughter it. I highly suspect that his mother's name is Roose, and possibly a sister's name is Roose also.

As to his father, there was a Richard Bagley who died in Mar. 1573 and a Roger, whose wife died in 1566. These could be possible fathers or brothers to Thomas, with Richard being the name carried down to one of his sons. The only known Bagley at this point in time of correct age to be a grandparent to Thomas in the Dudley, England region was Robert Bagley, (b.abt 1585) a name also carried down in the lines.

  Noted events in his life were:

• Probate, Oct 8, 1588, , Worcestershire, ENG.

Thomas married Elinore HARISONE in Oct 1562 in Dudley, Worcestershire, ENG. (Elinore HARISONE died about May 7, 1614 in Dudley, Worcestershire, ENG and was buried on May 8, 1614 in St. Edmund, Dudley, Worcestershire, ENG.)
