    • RESEARCH_NOTES:
      1. Humphri Bancroft shows up on an burial memorial in the St. Peter's Church in Chellaston in proximity to John Bancroft who died about 5 months after Humphri. They would be related, but how is uncertain. I have temporarily placed Humphri as a brother to John even though he is not listed with other siblings in Ralph's will. Ralph named his siblings, including John, in his 21 Apr 1557 will; however, there is no mention of Humphri - so the exact relationship is unproven even though one certainly exists. Humphri may have been the father of John and Ralph.

      John Bancroft died Ano. Dom. 13 Sep 1557; and Margaret, his wife,..."
