Blessed are they that die in the Lord.

Research Notes
Another daughter Mary married John Crewe. The marriage is listed in the parish register at Bishops Tachbrook 7 February 1664/5, the entry appears to be 'Johannes Crow of Lidkinton'.[8] Lidkinton should probably be Utkinton as in the grave monument.
