Isaac Blake, Gent, married Elisabeth Penniston 13 Jun 1678 At St Dunstan in the East, London (Find My Past, England Marriages 1538-1973). They were married by Licence and he was 28 years of age and a bachelor living at Stroud, Kent. She was a widow, 27 years of age, living at Frinsbury, Kent.
Isaack Blake and Elizabeth baptized a son Isaack 23 Apr 1679 at Strood, Kent.
An Administration dated 2 Oct 1684 as an “Ad. To Eliz. B., rel. deceased” was granted to Isaac Blake of Temple, Strood, Kent. There are several lines of text above the probate that I will attempt to decipher but they are in Latin and when the text isn’t pretty much “bookplate” I do find it harder to transcribe.
Boyd’s inhabitants of London has the record for a John Blake of St George Southwark with his father Isaac Blake, gent, of Strood Kent listed. John was born in 1654 and married 6 May 1678 to Hannah Elliston (she was born in 1655). Isaac Blake, mentioned in the will, was only 28 years of age in 1678 so possibly this John is his brother.
An interesting Will for a Susanna Dawes (maiden name Sellman) of St Olave Southwark, widow, at Surrey Archdeaconry Court 1707 mentions Mr John Blake, Mr Isaac Blake, Mrs Hannah Blake and Mrs Mary Blake (they are to receive mourning rings). I did not find a marriage for Isaac and Mary.
William Pennyston married Elizabeth Fortescue 4 Jul 1676 Saint Mary at Hill, London, England.
