Will

05 MAY 1504 Laxfield, Co. Suffolk, England

'5. The Will of Margaret Fyske of Laxfeld [Laxfield, co. Suffolk], wife of Jaffrey Fyske of the same town.* [*-In Pierce's Fiske and Fisk Family, p. 36 (No.3), this testatrix is said to have made her will on 4 May 1504, the day after the date of her husband's will. But her husband, Jaffrey Fyske, in his will, dated 3 May 1504 (vide infra), makes no mention of his wife, and it is likely, therefore, that she was already dead or on the verge of death when he made his will. Both wills were proved 13 May 1504.] To be buried in Laxfeld churchyard. To the high altar of Denington [Dennington, co. Suffolk] 12d. To the high altar of Laxfeld 12d.
