• "Elisabeth Lock was the 20th child of Sir William Lock, which is testified by a note written by himselfe in the said Bible. She was borne in Milk Streete, London, the 3d day of August, 1535. She had 2 husbands, beinge first married to Richard Hill, with whome she liued 18 yeares, and had by him 13 childrenn ; she continued a widow one yeare and a quarter, and then married [Nicholas] Bullingham, bishop of Worcester, and had one child by him. Hill died at Newington Greene, Sep. 1568; shee was very younge when she married Hill, for she was but 20 yeares old when she went with her husband into the Low Countries to Antwerpe ; and yet she had then 4 children ; she had fiue in Antwerpe. She hath not mentioned the names of all her children. What I find of them in that memoire is thus : her eldest daughter, Katharine Hill, was married to Dr. Goad ; she was baptised 23 April, 1554; of her was borne Dr. Goad, one of the diunes sent by King James I. vnto the Synod of Dort. Martha, the 2nd daughter maried to Luke Smyth, Clerke ; she was baptised 8th of September, 1560 ; she dyed at Worcester, 1593. Rowland, baptised 16th October, 1561. I thincke he had no issue male, but he had a daughter married to Mr. ___ ___ Munday. Mary, baptised 5th of June, 1562 ; she married Dr. Moundeford, from whome I am descended. Elizabeth, borne at Antwerpe the yeare before Queene Mary died, [1557]; she married with Edward Archbold, at Worcester. Otwell, borne alsoe at Antwerpe, the first yeare of Queene Elizabeth, [1558.] Ann, baptised 1566 ; married to Andros, I guess, parson of Chesterton. . . . . _____________

• ELIZABETH LOCKE or LOK (August 3, 1535-c.1581)
• Elizabeth Locke or Lok was the youngest daughter of William Locke or Lok (1480-August 24, 1550) and Katherine Cook (d. October 14, 1537). Her first husband was Richard Hill (c.1527-1568), a mercer who lived in Milk Street, London. They had thirteen children, including Katherine, Elizabeth, Margaret, Rowland, Otwell, Mary (1562-November 1655), and Anne. According to Mary Prior in "Reviled and crucified marriages: the position of Tudor bishops' wives," in Women in English Society 1500-1800 (edited by Mary Prior), Elizabeth went into exile in Antwerp during the reign of Queen Mary with her sister Rose (see ROSE LOCKE). At the end of 1569 or the beginning of 1570, she took as her second husband Nicholas Bullingham, bishop of Lincoln (1511?-1576). He became bishop of Worcester in 1571. Bullingham already had two sons by his first wife, Margaret Sutton (d.1566) and had a third son, John, with Elizabeth. Some, if not all, of his stepchildren also lived with the family in Worcester from June 1571 until Bullingham died in May 1576.
• From: http://www.kateemersonhistoricals.com/TudorWomenL.htm ______________
• Nicholas Bullingham (or Bollingham) (c. 1520–1576) was an English Bishop of Worcester.[1]
• Nicholas Bullingham was born in Worcester in around 1520. He was sent to the Royal Grammar School Worcester, after which he entered Oxford University. In 1543, he became a Fellow of All Souls College, Oxford. He then gained his DCL from Cambridge University.[1]
• After his education in law, Bullingham entered the church, becoming private chaplain to Queen Elizabeth I. He then became Bishop of Lincoln[2] and finally returned to his old city as Bishop of Worcester until his death in 1576. While at Worcester, he greeted the Queen on her visit to the city in *Bullingham is buried in Worcester Cathedral in an unusual tomb, with an inscribed tablet on his stomach.[3]
• Bullingham married firstly Margaret Sutton (d.1566), daughter of Hamond Sutton of Washingborough, Lincolnshire, by whom he had two sons, Francis (1553–c.1636) and Nicholas (1566–1639), and two daughters, both named Susan, who died in 1561 and 1564 respectively.[4]
• He married secondly, about 1569, Elizabeth Lok (1535–c.1581). She was the widow of the London mercer and alderman Richard Hill (d.1568), by whom she had had thirteen children, and was the daughter of Sir William Lok and his first wife, Alice Spenser (d.1522). By his second wife Bullingham had a son, John (baptized 1570).[5][6][4]
