| Notes |
- BIRTH: No birth/chr rec found. A combination of evidence suggests that John is the son of an unknown son of Peter Elwyn of Wooddalling. John's will, below, mentions his cousin Peter Barker, citizen and alderman of Norwich. 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 (Consistory Court of Norwich, reg wills, 76:228 [FHL #094904]). Rev. John Elwyn is the son of Peter Elwyn of Wooddalling, the testator of 1556. In summary, these wills suggest a connection to Peter Elwyn through the Barker family. The will of Peter Elwyn of Wooddalling, 16 Jun 1556, proved 27 Sep 1557, mentions a grandson William Elwyn the younger, who is apparently the William Elwyn of Heigham (ibid, 63:151 [FHL #094894]). William Elwyn of Heigham is identified as a brother of John in the will of Richard Elwyn of North Walsham, 10 Aug 1583, proved 2 Sep 1583 (Ibid, 83:126 [FHL #094911]). Hence, it is believed that John is the son of an unknown son of Peter Elwyn of Wooddalling. Date and place of birth are approximations. For additional information, see G. Andrews Moriarty, "The Elwyns of Norfolk," MISCELLANEA GENEALOGICA ET HERALDICA, ed A. W. Hughes Clarke, 5th series, 6(1926-28):17-32 (FHL #942 B2m).
MAR: No mar rec found. A wife Margery is mentioned in his will, below.
BUR: Heigham par reg (FHL #993968 item 2). Also see the will of John Elwyn of Heigham, 31 Dec 1598, proved Oct 1600, Consistory Court of Norwich, reg wills, 96:166 (FHL #094923).
