Marriage Mary Ford & Hugh Stockton 1601

Main Events

Name	Mary Ford was also known as Mary Snelson.
Name	She was also known as Mary Stockden.1
Name	She was also known as Mary Stockton.
Biography	I think it highly probable that Mary Ford is the same person as Mary Stockden, as there are records as follows :- Hugh Stockden buried 8 Sep 1603 St James Garlickhithe (and the Parish Record MAY say that he was "a dier" ... I am not sure, but I think so. If anyone else can interpret the St. James, Garlickhithe record and writing, I would like to hear from you). She was then a widow ... and married Roger Snelson in 1604. I think that is what happened - subject to the Marriage to Roger NOT having her as a spinster. The parish records name her as "Mary Stockden". So, the only reference that Roger's wife was "Mary Ford" is on the Visitation of London. I just wonder whether Roger did not want to admit that his wife had been married previously ... who knows, but that would not surprise me. Although, I do not think that there was any stigma attached to such circumstances in those days - but Roger was an eccentrically proud man.
Reference Number	She had reference number 2333.
Birth	She was born before 1580 in Yarnfield, Somerset. Yarnfield tithing, a part of Maiden Bradley parish, on the north-west, and formerly in the county of Somerset.
Marriage	She married Roger Snelson on 11 January 1604 in the parish church, St. James', Garlickhithe, London, Boyd's Marriage Index has her name as Mary Stockton.2
Death	She died on 1 July 1640 in London.
Burial	She was buried on 2 July 1640 in St Mary, Islington, I am pretty sure that this is correct, as Roger refers in his Will of 1647 to his "late wife", so there is no doubt that Marir (Mary) died before him.
	Her husband Roger Snelson died about October 1647 in London.
