Biography

John Pickarell was probably born in Norfolk, England. His birth year has been estimated, as he left a widow, two sons and two daughters, one of which was already married when he wrote his will in November 1554.

John married Cicelie Wood (the widow of Edmonde Wood, former Mayor of Norwich) at the church of St Clements, Norwich on 15 September 1550. The register is annotated with roughly drawn hands pointing at the marriages of notable people. John and Cicelie's marriage has the pointing hand: [1]
1550 John Pickerell & Cicely Wood were maryed the 15 day of September Anno Dni 1550

His children were listed in his will as:

  • John
  • Richard
  • Daughter Bolton married to Francis Bolton
  • Suzanne unmarried

John Pickarell, gentleman of Dichborow (Ditchborough or Dickleborough), Norfolk, drew up his will on 1 November 1554 and it was proved at the Prerogative Court of Canterbury on 9 February 1555/6.
