Oliver Blake is the testator and he lives at Padstow Cornwall. There was another Padstow Cornwall will but I couldn’t link that one back and the two wills do not appear to have any linking material although there are a couple of Blake males who could have been married to Jane Blake who left her will which was probated 5 Jul 1652. She is not the widow of Oliver this testator.
Maximilian Blake married Margret Knebon 2 Nov 1615 at Padstow and their children follow:
Sarah baptized 10 Jan 1618
Jane baptized 4 Mar 1620
Olyver baptized 10 Aug 1623
Agnis baptized 5 Feb 1626
Emanuell baptized 11 Nov 1627
William baptized 23 Oct 1629 (buried 17 Apr 1631)
Jane baptized 21 Sep 1632
The Children of Oliver mentioned in the will and otherwise are also listed on the OPC Cornwall site (http://www.cornwall-opc-database.org/ ).
Susane baptized 14 Oct 1599
Waren baptized 12 Oct 1601
Elizabeth baptized 2 Oct 1603
A___s baptized 12 Sep 1605 (daughter)
Oliver names his children as Maximilian (eldest son), Thomas, Warne and six daughters not named but would include likely Susane, Elizabeth and A___s.
Unfortunately the baptisms move from 1632 to 1744 and I do not know if there were none at Padstow or if the parish register was not transcribed in this time period.
Marriages at Pastow in this time period:
Maxsemillion Blake and Margret Knebon (listed above)
Homphrye Worthen and Kathren Blake 12 Feb 1615
Burials at Padstow in this time period:
Grace buried 20 Mar 1624
Thomas buried 7 Mar 1629
William buried 17Apr 1631
Jane buried 5 Aug 1639 (widow)
Maximillian buried 30 May 1640
Margret buried 1 Apr 1660 (wife of Maximilian)
No Blake males listed at Padstow on the Protestation Returns 1641-42.
