Abstracts of Iremonger wills found in London. Numbers 1
and 2 are PCC wills, 4 is a PCC administration.
1) William Iremonger, Kintbury,
Hungerford, Berkshire, 1581, 16 Darcy, (PROB11/63)
Name of Testator : William Iremonger
Date of Will : 31 August, 21st reign of Elizabeth (1579)
Date Proven : April, 1581
Residence at time of will : Hanvylle, Berkshire; mentions lands in
Staffordshire, and Hungerford, Berkshire/Wiltshire, and a farm in
Hanvylle.
Name of wife : Alice
Sons (7) : John (apparently over the age of 21), therefore born before
1558.
Josiah, Richard, William, Samuell, Edwarde, and Alphonsus, all under the
age of 21, therefore born between 1559-1579.
Daughters (3) : Elly, Ursula, and Elizabeth
(all unmarried, all under the age of 21, therefore born between
1559-1579).
Witnesses : Richard Tredmayr, Edmunde Waller, John Yovll.
Other info : possibly Alice was his second wife, as the will mentions he
wished to be buried next to his wife in Kintbury chapel, so presumably
this was a wife whom was already buried before 1579.
Brother-in-law Richard Tredmayr.
(Note :
There are many similarities to this will and an entry in "Burke’s
Landed Gentry" which shows: William Iremonger, first wife Juliana
Butler, one son John. Second wife, Alice Davis, sons mentioned Samuel
(b.1607), Edward and Alphonso.
The problem is that the will of this William is dated 4 May 1637, some 56
years later.)
2) Samuell Iremonger, gentleman of Shawe,
Berkshire, 1626, 33 Hele, (PROB11/148, p.254).

(Note : the surnames Hobbyes, Oliffe, Erbwith, and Collier are difficult

(This will ties in quite well to the 1581 will via Samuel's siblings.)

S.O.G.)

1639/40 (Administration only)
Samuel Iremonger, father of Samuel Iremonger, late of Donnington inside
the parish of Shawe in the county of Berkshire, unmarried, deceased.
By the way, for all researchers along these lines - I've seen the
following misspelled so many times, I want to show the correct (modern)
spellings from British Ordnance Survey maps : "Donnington" (the
village), "Shaw" (the parish), "Berkshire" (the
county), also abbreviated "Berks.".

Edward Goddard acquired East Woodhay from his uncle Vincen Goddard and
started the East Woodhay and Castle Eaton branch of the family. East
Woodhay was orginally the property of the Bishops of Winchester and at an
ealy date the bishop granted a large portion of his estate
there to various tenants Among these, in 1428, was one John Sterregrave,
hence the name of the manor house, Stargroves, in the 17th century. It was
in the old house that Oliver Cromwell is said to have breakfasted on toast
and ale before the Second Battle of Newbury in 1644. (Edward Goddard
married Mary Kingsmill).
