In an age when husbands or wives might die at the drop of a hat, it was not unusual for widows or widowers to go on to have further marriages, resulting in many blended families.

When Richard Allen, a tailor, married his wife, Jane Mills, she was already a widow with children, and after he died, she seems to have married again – into the Kirtland family. (Jane Kirtland made a will in 1664, leaving bequests to the children of her first marriage to Mr Mills.)

Richard may have come to West Haddon from Warwickshire – he had relatives who shared his surname in Bilton, but then he also described William Pycraft of Billing as his brother – another blended family?

Richard made his will in the spring of 1645 (the Battle of Naseby was fought a few miles up the road in the summer of that year.) From his will we discover that he had recently bought a barn and small plot of land from John Lucas and taken a lease on a house and yard from Margery Loake and her son John, all of which he left to his wife towards the bringing up of her children. Richard and Jane appear to have had no children together.

Although Richard earned his living as a tailor, he seems to have had some livestock too, leaving a ewe and lamb to one of his step-daughters and a hoggrill sheep to his kinsman William Paget of Long Buckby. He left the rest to his wife – we don’t know how many.

Perhaps, being a tailor, he was particular about the disposal of his clothes. William Paget got an old suit of clothes and William Pycraft got his best suit: doublet, breeches and best coat. His frize coat went to another brother, Thomas West – where did he fit in? (Frize was a woollen fabric with the nap frizzed up – partly for decorative effect and partly for extra warmth.)

An unusual bequest was, Five shillings to the ringers – these were presumably the church bellringers – raising speculation that he may once have been one of their number.

Like William Lane, William Henfrey also made provision for his children – not through a marriage settlement, in his case, but through his will. This offers a brief snapshot into the lives of his family.

William and his wife Joan had two sons and two daughters when he came to make his will, which was about ten years before the fire. The boys had both been baptised at Crick, but the girls may have been born later, after the family moved to West Haddon (for what reason we do not know.)

He left the girls marriage portions and specified how the money was to be arranged. £8 was to be put out at interest to some honest, sufficient man or men for each daughter, with the interest added to the principal for the increase of her portion to be paid her at 20 years or at the day of her marriage.

In addition his five acres of land were to be sold when the eldest daughter Elizabeth came of age and the proceeds split between Elizabeth, her sister Mary and their brother Thomas. (William hoped that the land would fetch £30, giving them £10 each.) Having a few acres of land would have supplemented the family income, providing grazing for a few sheep, perhaps a house cow for milk, butter and cheese, as well as a supply of crops for income or home consumption.

His house was to be shared by his wife Joan, for her lifetime, and his eldest son William, but the boy was not to have his share until he reached 21 (which he did in 1651), along with first refusal on the purchase of the land, if family funds were to stretch that far when the time came.

Some years later the girls both married – Mary in 1670 and Elizabeth two years later. William appears not to have married, but Thomas, a tailor like his father, did, and when he came to make his will, early in the next century, he passed the five acres his father had bought down to the next generation of the family.

Mark Bonner was a tailor. What his son Thomas did for a living is unclear – he’s quite a shadowy figure.

In 1649 Mark had bought a house or cottage from his neighbour, John Warde, along with a little yard and one bay, or section, of John’s barn, with a right of way over the yard for the bringing in and carrying forth any manner of stuffe at all convenient times. All of this cost him the princely sum of £17.

Although his son Thomas was also listed as having lost his home in the fire, he vanishes from village records for a long time.

Two years after the fire we find Mark selling part of his property to an elderly widow, Isabella Ringrose – in effect, the barn, converted into a dwelling, along with a small yard and right of way through the jitty to the well to fetch water and also over John Warde’s yard. For the ‘barn conversion’ she paid him £9, with a standing charge of two old pennies per year towards the repair of the well bucket. In the Hearth Tax returns of 1662 and again in 1674 both Mark and Isabella are listed as having one hearth each, but certified as too poor to pay the tax. Had Mark converted the barn as a home for his son before the fire and did Thomas then move away, leaving his father to sell it, or what was left of it?

In 1698 there was a meeting of West Haddon Manor Court. Almost no manorial records survive for this village, but for some reason the Court Roll for 1698 did. And Thomas Bonner was on the list of those expected to attend. (His father had died in 1680.) He had married into a farming family called Bayly who were new to the village. His mother in law left some money in her will to her daughter Martha to her own use, exclusive of her husband and to dispose of as she shall think fit. Thereby must surely hang a tale…
