[probate 26 December 1711]

The 1643 will of Robert Odlin of Cammeringham and the 1649 will of his widow Margaret give these relationships:

-a son Robert

-a daughter Mary who married James Bolton/Belton of Ingham

-a daughter Alice who married George Poole

-a daughter Margaret who married Thomas Howet

-a daughter Helen

-a grandson William Turgoose.

Perhaps they were related to Mary (her grandparents?).

A John Odlin of Nettleham left a will dated about 1639, which seems to be missing on the FamilySearch microfilm.
