GEDCOM Note

Her maiden name is Halstead and her first name is Jennet which is verifiable by the many sources available in this very record. Her father is John Lawrence Halstead which is also included in this very record. Her middle name was NOT Towneley which is why I deleted that from her name. She is a 10th great grandmother of mine.

(Document on file at the Lancashire Record Office, Preston, DDTO A/1 K/23, K/5/117, 1623.) Perhaps Jennet died soon after this transaction, as the only burial we can find of anyone who could be Jennet Halstead Townley is in the Burnley registers, where the entry concerns the burial of the wife of Lawrence Townley of Windlehouse, August 12, 1623. Windlehouse was Jennet's family home. It was furthermore, the residence at this time of her daughter Elizabeth, wife of Richard Halstead ...
