    THE NATIONAL ARCHIVES PROB 11/110/418 1 ________________________________________________________________________ SUMMARY: The document below is the Prerogative Court of Canterbury copy of the will, dated 11 September 1606 and proved 20 November 1607, of Alice (nee Hodgkins) Hoby (d.1607?), sister-in-law of Sir Thomas Hoby (1530-1566), first husband of Lady Burghley’s sister, Elizabeth Cooke (1528-1609), later Lady Russell, who signed the petition against James Burbage’s Blackfriars theatre. See Laoutaris, Chris, Shakespeare and the Countess: The Battle That Gave Birth to the Globe, (London: Fig Tree, 2014), pp. 121, 123, 130, 176-7, 277-8. The testatrix’ daughter-in-law, Katherine Fermor, was the great-niece of Anne Fermor (d.1550), who married Sir William Lucy (d.1551) and was the mother of Sir Thomas Lucy (1532?-1600) of Charlecote, who allegedly prosecuted William Shakespeare of Stratford upon Avon for stealing deer from his park. The testatrix’ daughter-in-law, Katherine Fermor, was also the great-niece of Mary Fermor (d.1573), the first wife of Sir Richard Knightley (1533-1615), prosecuted for his part in the publication of the Marprelate tracts. The testatrix’ daughter-in-law, Mary (nee Tracy) Hoby Vere (18 May 1581 - 25 December 1671), married, as her second husband, Oxford’s first cousin, Horatio Vere (1565-1635), Baron Vere of Tilbury. The testatrix’ executor, Sir Paul Tracy, was the son of Richard Tracy (d. 8 March 1568) and Barbara Lucy, the aunt of Sir Thomas Lucy (1532?-1600) of Charlecote, who allegedly prosecuted William Shakespeare of Stratford upon Avon for stealing deer.

  • Wills of Soldiers in the Glosters Or Royal Gloucestershire Hussars
    WW1 Soldiers Wills Foreward Gloucestershire Archives holds a collection of 84 annual Will Books containing around 53,000 copies of Wills that were proved at Gloucester between 1858 and 1941. Within the collection are a couple of hundred Wills of WW1 soldiers who served in various Regiments, the Wills that have been transcribed here are of those soldiers who were in the Gloucestershire Regiment (65) or the Royal Gloucestershire Hussars (6). These soldiers Wills come in a variety of forms, some are just a few lines long, others are like a letter home to a loved one. Occasionally they have been written on the eve of deployment from England to the front, and a few were written whilst “in the field”. Most of them give some indication of what each soldier was thinking at the time he made his Will and many other soldiers were witnesses to the Will, quite often recorded with their service number and Regiment details. To help understand more about these soldiers some further background research into their Military and Family History has also been done. These details have come from a number of sources including Military and Parish Records, Census Returns and Local Newspapers (Cheltenham & Gloucester). David Drinkwater, Jan. 2014 In Memory of Second Lieutenant ALFRED ALCOCK, 18th Bn.attd. 1st Bn., Gloucestershire Regiment who died in France age 31 on the 21st of August 1916 Alfred Alcock was the son of Alfred Alcock and Mary Alcock (nee Drury), of Didbrook, Winchcombe, Gloucestershire; he was born in Didbrook in 1884 and by 1911 he was a Lance Corporal serving in the 12th Royal Lancers stationed in South Africa.
