Biography

Margery is estimated to have been born in 1576, based on her marriage in 1596, possibly in London, to unknown parents.

She married William Plasse 19 July 1596 at St. Botolph's Aldgate, Middlesex, England.[1]

She was buried on 4 August 1618 at St Botolph, Aldgate, City of London: "Margerie Plasse wife to William Plasse a snapphaunce maker of East Smithfield"[2][3][4]

Research Notes

The original profile said she was the daughter of Francis Smith and Mary Perrot born 1585 in Cranfield, Bedfordshire. 1585 is too late to have married in 1596 and there's no evidence as to her parents.

A Margery Smith did marry William Plasse as shown; but IF, and it's a big if without any sources, Francis and Anne Smith had a daughter Margery in Cranfield how has she been linked to the London marriage? And would she really have married at age 11? No, as the minimum age to marry for a girl was 12. Detached from her alleged parents and dates cleaned up.

There are two certain facts about this alleged family:

1. Isobel Smith married George Lawton at Cranfield Bedfordshire on 13 Nov 1606 and they had children and died in Cranfield. 2. Margery Smith married William Plasse on 15 Jul 1596 at St Botolph, Aldgate, City of London, where she was buried in 1619 “of East Smithfield”.

Nothing is known about either of them prior to their marriages. Nothing to indicate that they could have been sisters. Nothing to indicate who their parents were. NOTHING! If they had an unusual surname you might be able to speculate, but Smith, the commonest name in England!

They both need to be detached from their alleged parents, who can then be sorted out as a separate exercise.

Please let me know if you disagree, or if you have any earlier facts about them.
