| Name | Isabell Bostock was also known as Issabell Snelston. |
| Biography | The Visitation of Cheshire 1580 Chart for Bostock of Moulton illustrates this relationship and shows the words "David Bostock - Isabell da. & h. vxor Thomas Snelston" which really baffled me for years. If I had just relaxed and translated it literally I would have got "David Bostock - Isabella daughter and heire wife Thomas Snelston". The later Visitation of Cheshire in 1613 for Cotton shows that Issabell (#5291) is in fact the daughter of David Bostock (#6714) and it is she who marries Thomas Snelston (#5290). Just goes to show how careful you have to be. If the daughter (#23267) of Sir William Baguley (#6711) was an heiress and entitled to the Arms of her father Sir William Baguley, then the Bostocks of Moulton would be entitled to quarter Baguley arms and enable Isabell to carry both her father's and grandmother's coats to her husband Thomas Snelson (#5290). I think that is right. The first son of David Bostock of Moulton [6712] is Raffe Bostock [6802] who married a Davenport lady [23346]. The second sone Phillipe Bostock [23347] married a Warbuton lady. The 3rd son David Bostock (6714), could difference his Bostock of Moulton coat with a mullet as a cadency mark rather than for plain differenciation. We do not know the exact reason - either reason works ! Of course, we know he married and had a daughter Isabella [5291]. I believe that this is part of the evidence that supports the claim by Roger Snelson to the black scythe arms in 1643/44 at the Visitation of London. It is also the reason for the appearance of the Bostock of Moulton Arms and the Baguley Arms on the Macclesfield Chalice given by Roger Snelston to the parish of St. Michael's in Macclesfield. Moulton is 5kms due south of Northwich and less than 1km west of Bostock. This Thomas Snelson (#5290) is I believe Roger Snelston (#4878)'s great-great-great grandfather. |
