About Magdalen Racket

See Joseph Hunter’s Pope, his descent and family connections : facts and conjectures (London, 1857),

. "... [William was] married, not to the mother of his celebrated son, but to a former wife, whose name was Magdalen, but whose surname is at present unknown. This is a recent discovery of some one whose curiosity has led him to consult the register of St. Benet Fink, the parish in which part of Broad Street is situated, where this entry was found:—“1679, August 12. bur. Magdalen, wife of Alexander Pope.” She left him one child, a daughter named Magdalen, afterwards Mrs. Racket, whose sons were the Poet’s heirs."
