Biography

Agnes was the youngest daughter of Henry and Agnes Ferror and was named as such in Henry's will, dated 25 June 1548: "I ordane and make Agnes Ferrore, my wif, and Agnes Ferror, my yongest dowghter, myne executrices, unto whom I giue all my hooll goodes and cattalles and dettes. Also I will and giue unto the saide Agnes, my wife, and Agnes, my doughter, and to their assignes, all those my mesuagies, landes, tenementes, medowes, woodes, pastures, rentes, reuersions, and seruices withe th'appurtenances in Midgelaie called the Overr Wheytteleyghe, nowe in the tenures of me the said Henrie Ferror, Robte. Helywell, John Hyen, Thomas Helywell, Chrofer. Helywell, and Henrie Gawmforthe, becavse they ar holden by sokcaige tenure unto th'end and terme of xj yeres be fullye complete and ended nexte imediately after my decease, to the use, prefarmente, and mariage of the saide Agnes, my doughter, and towardes the painge of my dettes".^[1] The will was proved by the executrices 26 November 1549 "Nov 26 1549, Ferror, Henrie, Ewewood, par. Halifax, Jun. 25, 1548, vol 13 folio 597".^[2]

No burial found for the year given, 1549. This may have been entered as "after" because Agnes was executrix for her father's will that year. If she died unmarried, she would probably have been buried at Heptonstall, where parish registers do not begin until 1593. No marriage found yet.
