General Notes (Husband)
As revealed by the contents of his 1591 will, William was among the privileged few of his contemporaries to learn to read adn write. also, he had armor, indicating military activity. This service was probably of a local nature, and his armor was most likely made of leather. Or perhaps he inherited the armor, which might have been rather elaborate.
William Fisher prospered as a yeoman farmer, retaining property in Syleham that he had inherited. Exctly when he adn Margerie resided during their early marriage is unknown, though liekly within the parish of Stradbroke. The parish churches of Syleham and Stradbroke aer about three miles apart, but the boundaries of the two parishes are much closer, the in-between being a walk of gentle ups adn downs across aprt of teh parish of Wingfield. Perhaps the Fisher home was near the boundary of one of the parishes. William and Margerie took some of their children to each church for baptism; Stradbroke in 1553, Syleham in 1556, and then Stradbroke again in 1559 (apparently with twins) and 1560. One little girl, almost four years of age, was buried in the Stradbroke churchyard in 1563.
As time passed, William purchased (according to his will) properties in Cransford, nine miles southeast of Stradbroke, and in Swefling, two and a half miles beyond Cransford. Whether or not he and Margerie lived for a period in either of these places is unknown. Eventually theymoved to the parish of St. James South Elmham, seven miles northeast from Stradbroke, still in county Sfufolk.
In St. James South Elmham, William wrote his own last will and tesament, "scripte by me Will'm Fisher", 14 June 1591. He died less than two months later, as the will was probated 9 August 1591. Because the surviving parish registers of St. James South Elmham start many years after Wiliam and Margerie died, it is impossible to find records of their burials.
William's will indicates that within the yeoman class of English citizens he was probably more akin to a gentleman than to a husbandman. He named no horses or cows or sheep or sheat or barley, the items so commonly counted as a portion of wealth by yeomen. In his will, though, he did name "implements." Perhaps animals to work or graze his land were owned by the men to whom he rented the several estates he held.
In his will William provided his "welbeloved wiffe" Margerie, for life, "all my free holde landes and Ten'tes, and indenture or lease lande lyinge and beinge in Sarlehame (Syleham)", without naming them. (One of them, Wignott(s), was bequeathed in 1638 by William's grandson, Cornelius Fisher (pv, p 173). William directed that after his wife's decease these properties should go to their son Anthony. In addition, Anthony was to receive "all suche movable goods as are in his custodie adn possession excepte one posted bedstede wch I boughte at Witchingham hall one fetherbedde and one coveringe wch fetherbedde posted bedsteade and coveringe I give unto Margery my wiffe. Also, "the rest of the Evidence concerninge the landes before devised to Anthonye my sonne I will that they shoulde be delyvered to him" (referring probably to the Syleham lands, mentioned earlier in the will.)
Son William was to inherit the lands in Swefling and Cransford, and each year he was to pay to "Margerie his mother" an annuity of 6 opunds. The testator William also bequeathed to his son Wiliam "all suche stuffe of howsholde as I have remayninge in his custodie and possession and all my Armor bookes and suche Evidence as I have concernynge the landes before devised to him."
Another genealogically significant item in William's will is his bequest to "Anne Forder my sister" of 40s. "Rose Forder her daughter" was to receive 26s 8d at her day of marriage.
William gave token legacies to his grandchildren as well, naming them as "my dawghter Johannes thre sonnes... and... their sister," "my sonne Will'm Fishers dawghter," "my sonne Anthonye Fishers two sonnes... and .. their sister," and "my dawghter Janes sonne.. and ... his sister... and ... the childe or children that my saide dawghter Jane is now bigge w all (if) god give her saffe delyverie." In another part of the will William named Jane's son: "Cornelius the sonne of Francys Wolnaughe".
After devising his properties, William gave to "Margerie my wiffe all the residue of my moveable goods lynnyage (linenage) plate implements and stuffe of howsholde" and appointed her and their son William as executors.
General Notes for Child William FISHER
At the writing of William's will, 9 June 1618 (roved 8 Apr 1619), he was livign in Swefling.
General Notes for Child Anthony FISHER
Anthony was named in various wills. In 1591, his father William mentioned that he had already given land to Anthony, and that other lands, in Syleham (among them Wignotts) should be Anthony's after his mother's death. Anthony's brother William, in 1618, named Anthony and his children. Anthony and Mary's son John in 1636 gave annuities to his parents, as did their son Cornelius in 1638. After Anthony's death his widwow Mary was appointed administratrix of his estate, 19 Apr 1640.
