      Thanks to Sue Eaton for the following analysis:
      About Richard, his will is as follows:
      Richard’s will “Richard Townsend of Hatherop Husbandman” is dated 30/7/1633 (GRO Will No 33 Ref:
      22157).
      The bequests are:
      To my son William
      To my son John
      To my son Henry
      To my son Richard
      To my son Edmund (sometimes Edward)
      To my daughter Margaret Townsend
      To my daughter Edith Ebsworth ** see my email dated 30/4/2018
      To my daughter Elnor Bedford
      To my son Thomas
      To my wife Margaret Townsend (sole executrix)
      John Bedford and John Ebsworth are overseers.

      The point of all this is to demonstrate that Eleanor was married to a Mr Bedford before John Howse

      Indeed, Eleanor's brother John, left money to (among others) his sister "Ellinor, now the wife of John Howse"
