Can anyone help with this burial?

In my early days on here I blithely adopted this profile. She died at Stedmond Theking it said. Had to be workable, I thought! I'm so slow it wasn't. She came up for review yesterday and it clicked. St Edmond King and Martyr in Lombard St, probably didn't die there, just buried. Can I find a source for the burial? No. Any help?

Best answer

This tree suggests that she remarried, a William Seabright  http://powys.org/barringtons/Brch2.html

The Bourchier and Sebright trees are in the visitation of Essex.   and  Worcester

 As you can see it is rather confusing with 2 William Sebrights marrying daughters of James Morley. Something is not right.

​ But I also found this  abstract of the will of William Seabright 

Google Books

The original will is on Ancestry. I'll try to link for if you have access

“My desire is (yf it shall soe please god0 may be buried with comely and Christian like ceremonies in my p’ishe Church of St Edmund the Kinge in Lumbard Streete London where I doe dwell in the chancell w’thin the vaulte there where the body of my most deare vertuous and loveing late wife doe rest in the Lord as neare unto her as possibly and conveniently may be placed.

"And whereas my most deare lovinge kynde and vertuous wife in the tyme of her last grevious and longe sickness a little before her deathe earnestly requested me to be good to the children of Sir James Boucher knight her sonne especially to her grandchild Elizabeth the elder daughter of the said Sir James…"

The will was written on 19th January 1618 and granted probate on 7th November 1620  (There is also a Latin 'sentence' written on 16 Feb 1620)

edited some spellings (had to rush earlier)

Hi, Helen. Thanks so much for that. The Sebrights are also in the Visitations of Essex which again gives the two marriages. I think it is OK. There is no problem with William's nephew marrying Elizabeth's niece if that is what happened. I imagine the second James Morley is son of the first and will continue my search to demonstrate it.
