Notizen bei Edmund Drake

Edmond was probably born about 1515. Again, there is doubt regarding the identity of his wife. It has been suggested that she was Elizabeth Hawkins, but later research suggests that her family name was Millwaye, or Maylwaye. They married in 1541. Drake came from a very ordinary family, certainly not rich or powerful. The family was devoutly Protestant. When Francis was still a small boy, the Catholic Queen Mary came to the throne. It was a period of religious intolerance and, in 1549, following the Catholic Cornish Rebellion against the introduction of the new Book of Common Prayer, Edmund and his family were forced to flee the district, firstly to Plymouth, where they stayed with their cousins, the Hawkins family, and eventually to the Medway where for a time they lived on an old, laid-up ship. Edmond was admitted as Vicar of Upchurch, Kent, on 25 June 1560. They had 12 children, the eldest being Francis.
Extract from Oxford Dictionary of National Biograpy of Sir Francis
... Edmund's wife is unknown, though she may have been named Anna Milwaye. Edmund Drake was a shearman (of woollen cloth) at Crowndale, where his family had occupied the same farm for generations. Edmund was almost certainly a priest as well, perhaps one of those deprived of a living during Henry VIII's sequestration of religious property. In 1548 he was involved in a fracas with other clerics and laymen and forced to flee from Devon. Edmund soon gained a royal pardon, and found a place as curate at Upchurch in Kent. He was not an obvious partisan of either side in the religious debates, being Catholic enough to serve as curate at Upchurch in 1553 and protestant enough to be appointed vicar there when Elizabeth became queen.
