Notes for Joane FAIRCHILD
• Some records record her death as Dec 1578.

• It is recorded she was a widow at the time of her death.
Notes for William (Spouse 1)
• There are records that list his first name as possibly being “Thomas, “ and his surname as “Hollioake, Holliocke or Holiocke.” And there are other records lists his first name as “FRANCIS”

• The surname HOLYOKE and all of its variant forms seem to be derived from the holy oak, or gospel oak, an archaic term for a boundary tree. In Anglo-Saxon it is “Halli Ack” (Holy Oak)

• In general, a lot of the information on William HOLYOKE are speculations loosely based on translations of early wills, birth dates of offsprings, etc.
