Cecily Coade

Notes:

Daughter of ..... Coade and Christian his wife. Married at Clyst St. George 1565: Churchwarden 1597.

The date of marriage of John and Cecily, as also the date of burial of George (father-in-law) are earlier than any entries in the existing Registers of Clyst St. George. They are mentioned in the Preface to the transcription of the Registers, printed in 1899, as to be seen in a MS. book called 'Woodbury Malt Book' into which Matthew Lee of Woodbury copied them from leaves of the Registers which have been lost. The greater part of the said MS. was copied in full in 1854 into H.H. Gibbs' 'Aldenham General Collections', Vol. A., pp. 475-559 and abstracts on pp. 395-6. The MS., written about 1761, was then owned by Lee's grandson, Col. B. W. Lee of Ebford Barton, Woodbury. Besides extracts from the Clyst St. George Registers it contains extracts from the Woodbury Registers, Woodbury Churchwardens' Book and 'Woodbury Malt Book' proper or Church Rate Book. (The last mentioned extracts are printed in the 'Archaelogical Journal, Vol. XL, p. 225).

Cecily's mother, Christian, (buried at Clyst St. George, 1577) married secondly, Roger Matthew (buried at Clyst St. George). Matthew's will, proved by wife Christian, 11 May 1571 in the Prerogative Court of Canterbury, Doctors Commons, London, mentions his step-granddaughters, Margaret Tristram and Julian Gibbe and their father John Gibbe; witness Rev. William Gibbe. Christian's will, proved 4 April 1577 in the Prerogative Court of Canterbury, Doctors Commons, London, mentions her son-in-law John Gibbe and daughter Cecily his wife, her grandson WIlliam Gibbe, her grandaughters Margaret Tristram and Julian Gibbe.

Cecily married John Gibbe, of Claypitt in 1565 in Clyst St George, Devon. John (son of George Gybbe, of Claypitt) was born about 1540; died in Dec 1593; was buried on 14 Dec 1593 in Clyst St George, Devon. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]
