Notes
Margaret Holliman, widow, was buried at Winslow on 3 Nov 1643. Between 1643 and 1646 PCC wills were proved at Oxford, where Charles I had his headquarters during the Civil War, and they were proved again at London after the end of the war. The surname does not seem to occur otherwise in the Winslow parish registers.
