MARRIAGE, DESCENDANTS & DEATH

William Amis-11 is believed to have been baptised in 1632 son of William & Grace at Weeley. The baptism is preceded by a suitable marriage to Grace Agish in 1628:

from Weeley parish register

m 21Oct1628   William Amis & Grace Agish
C  1Apr1630   Margaret d William & Grace Amis
B  6Jan1631/2 William Amis the elder married man
C 25Mar1632   William s William & Grace Amis

will of William Amis the elder, husbandman of Weeley

to my dau Margaret [inserted word --nx--s] a third of all my moveable goods at marriage or 18 to remain with my wife for the bringing up of said daughter. If my wife marries she shall enter sufficient bonds for the payment of the same portion unto my brother Lewis [Richard crossed out] Amise
rest to Grace my wife sole executor. Brother Lewis supervisor
witness: fa Parkinson David Fiske Richard Amise senior  signed 16Mar1630/1 proved 3Feb1632

 

William the elder was buried before his son William was baptised so not mentioned in the will. His father Richard senior witnessed the will and died himself 3 months later.   Grace may have been buried 19Jul1690 at Elmstead giving her a death age of about 82 (though a Daniel Amis was also buried there 2 days later and he has no known place in the Weeley family):

 

William the elder, implies a younger William in the parish of Weeley.  There were other Amis families there including this William who was probably William the younger.
