Biography

William Gaskryk was the son of William de Gaskryk of Lincolnshire & Wiltshire, and his wife Juliana Reigate.

He also married a Julia, but was never an Escheator that we know.

Easily conflated with father William, who has many citations. Son Edmund easily conflated with brother Edmund.

Research Notes

Re: Juliana Reigate

This William can not be the one married to Juliana Reigate, since Edmund, eldest son, is born in 1379, which makes kids all under age 11, at a time they are being sought for crimes.

Huge Conflation risk in these 'thar parts.

• William Gaskryk, Escheator & Juliana Reigate
  • William Gaskryk & Juliana Unknown << You are Here
    • William Gaskrike

See Morphology Set #3: 'of Lincolnshire'

To Do

• measure distance between Barton, Killingholme and Puriton, Wiltshire, and document
• Sequence of births should be reevaluated after all kids are proofed
• rewrite Research note about Juliana Reigate after THAT william is documented
• double check every cite in the three Williams, and explain boundaries.

Pre-1500 evidenciary logic

Re: Birth date

Son Edmund is eldest son, likely born 1344. (1344-16=b bef 1328)

This is about as early as we can support William's BD without adjusting Edmund to be born later, etc.

Re: Death date

In 1407, we have reference to him alive selling land^[6]

In 1421, son Edmund states (manor of Gaskryk, Puriton, Wilt) "...descended to him after the death of William Gascrik, his father"^[7]

Re: Death location

He certainly may have died in either Barton-upon-Humber, or his manor in Puriton, Wiltshire.
