- 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.

This is for Ralph Bancroft, and Alice, his wife, without date. Two others for the same family; the inscriptions on them are nearly obliterated:
Humphri Bancroft died Ano Dom. 23 April 1557; and Elizabeth, his wife, ...
John Bancroft died Ano. Dom. 13 Sep 1557; and Margaret, his wife,..."
