Notes

Note 1

Note: John Hankings is likely a misrecorded son of Philip Hawkesworth of Hathersage. “Hankings” reflects a scribal slip from “Hawkes,” with “worth” dropped and “w” misread as “n.” Father’s name “Albons” is probably a misread Latinized form of Philip , possibly confused with “Albion” or “St Alban.”

!Note: 1539–1542 in England - Context:

This period saw major disruption from the Dissolution of the Monasteries, which shuttered not just religious houses but also church-run hospitals, schools, and poor relief. The fallout from the Pilgrimage of Grace led to executions and heightened tension in the north. Combined with land seizures, Cromwell’s fall, royal instability, and sporadic disease outbreaks, the result was widespread displacement, hardship, and family fragmentation. These conditions likely explain the high rate of early deaths, remarriages, and child relocations during this time.
