Thomas Stebbing

ID: I43437 Name: Thomas STEBBING Sex: M Birth: 1475 in Kettleburgh, Suffolk, England 1 Reference Number: 43437 Note: An anecdote from someone elses genealogy page:

My brother and mother came to stay with me soon afterwards so we planned a day out on her birthday to Suffolk to find Kettleburgh as she was intrigued to see where her ancestors came from. There in the church we found a brass in the floor by the altar to Arthur Penning and his two wives, Frances daughter of William Stebbing of Kentons who died in 1559 and Katherine daughter of Anthony Broke of Cretingham who died in 1614. Arthur died in 1593. On the ceiling of the church there are several coats of Arms including the Pennings and the Stebbings. According to the church pamphlet one of the bells also has the initials A.P. indicating that Arthur donated the bell to the church and his initials are also on one of the front pews. So he was obviously and important man there.

Sounds to me as though there should be a William Stebbing born about 1500. (Assume that a 1st wife died young, perhaps around 30, and that her father was about 30 when he had her.)
