Commentary
Margery’s parentage:
The marriage of Margery Stubbs to Thomas Foley is recorded in the Bromsgrove parish register 9 December 1618.
The 1653/4 will of Thomas Foley names his wife Margery and his father-in-law Francis Stubbs.
The 1655 will of Francis Stubbs names his daughter Margery Foley widow.
The evidence that Francis Stubbs was Margery’s father is sufficient.
The Bromsgrove parish register records the burial on 10 February 1647 of “Joane wife of Francis Stubbs.”
