Elwyn, William

Abt 1537 - 1611  (~ 74 years)

• Name	Elwyn, William
  Born	Abt 1537	Wooddalling,Norfolk,Eng(?)
  Gender	Male
  Buried	3 Feb 1610/1611	Heigham,Norfolk,Eng
  Notes	BIRTH: No birth/chr rec found. William's father is unknown, but his grandfather was apparently Peter Elwyn of Wooddalling. The will of Richard Elwyn of North Walsham, 10 Aug 1583, proved 2 Sep 1583, shows that Richard is the brother of John and William Elwyn of Heigham (Consistory Court of Norwich, reg wills, 83:126 [FHL #094991]). The will of brother John Ellwyn of Heigham, 31 Dec 1598, proved Oct 1600, mentions his cousin Peter Barker, citizen and alderman of Norwich (Ibid, 96:166 [FHL #094923]). The will of Rev. John Elwyn of St. Michael's in Coslany, Norwich, 19 Mar 1568/9, proved 13 Sep 1569, mentions the children of Thomas Barker including the son Peter, then under 21 (Ibid, 76:228 [FHL #094904]). Rev. John Elwyn is the son of Peter Elwyn of Wooddalling, the testator of 1556. In summary, the wills of the brothers of William Elwin of Heigham show a connection to Peter Elwyn through the Barker family. Hence, it is believed that William is the son of an unknown son of Peter Elwyn who died before the latter's will was written in 1556. The will of Peter Elwyn of Wooddalling, 16 Jun 1556, proved 27 Sep 1557, mentions a grandson William Elwyn the younger, who is apparently this William (Consistory Court of Norwich, reg wills, 63:151 [FHL #094894]). Date and place of birth are approximations. For additional information, see G. Andrews Moriarty, "The Elwyns of Norfolk," MISCELLANEA GENEALOGICA ET HERALDICA, A. W. Hughes Clarke, ed, 5th series, 6(1926-28):17-32 (FHL #942 B2m). MAR: No mar rec found. Children of William Elwyn and wife Alice were baptized in Heigham, 1563, 1566. BUR: Heigham par reg (FHL #993968 item 2). ~LDS ORDINANCES BEPS: IGI
