Hon. John North, Esq., of Kirtling

Not the same of John North, of Farmington

John North (b 1612 - )was the fifth and final child of Dudley North and Frances Brockett. Born in Kirtling, Cambridgeshire, England, he was christened on 27 February 1612 in Harrow-on-Hill, London, Middlesex county, England.

I have no doubt that this John North is the 1612 son of Dudley and the transcriber thought the same as he saw fit to enter the following note:

”John North, son of Dudley 3rd Lord North (1581-1666) and brother to Dorothy North who married 4 Jan 1624 at St. Giles Cripplegate to Richard Lennard, 13 Lord Dacre of Chevening Kent and Hurstmonceau, Sussex, married firstly, 1634 at Kirtling, Sara, widow of Charles Drury of Rougham, Suffolk who she had married 1631 at Great Bealings, the daughter of Henry Seckford. Lady Anne Bosville, daughter of Sir Thomas Ridley, etc, etc. et al"

From LDS FHL film #416757-Item 3, Transcripts of parish registers of London, St. Bartholomew the Less, London, England, 1547-1837 by Challen, W. H. (William Harold)

"Marriages at St. Bartholomew the Less: 18 Apr 1646, John North Esq. and the Lady Anne Bosville, widow of Sir Leonard Bosville."

In the Allegations for Marriage Licences (sic) issued...by the Vicar General of the Archbishop of Canterbury, 1660 to 1679, extracted by Col. Joseph Lemuel Chester and published by The Harleian Society in 1886 (vol. 23), we find the following entry on p. 70:

"1662 May 3 Hon. John North, Esq.. of Kirtling, co. Cambridge, Widr. abt. 50, & Mrs Mary Bright, of Tolmash Hall, par. Great Brisett, co. Suffolk, Widow, about 50; at Little or Great Bealing in s[ai]d co. Suffolk."

That statement is unequivocal, and can only be the son of Dudley North. The age given (50) also matches EXACTLY the birthdate of 1612 for John North of Kirtling, Cambridgeshire (baptised in Harrow on the Hill).
