From records in the posession of Tim Farr.

William Aldous and Margaret Noyes were married 10 July 1567 at the parish church in Fressingfield, Suffolk, England. They subsequently resided in Fressing-field, where they had various properties, some or all of which had been left to William by his father, Robert Aldous, who had died in 1560. Included in William's inheritance was the family dwelling, with adjoining lands, called Bourneys; a por-tion of the home was reserved for his mother to use during her life. After the father died, and before William was wed, he and his two other unmarried brothers had shared a section of the house designated by their father. William also re-ceived a close, or enclosed field, called Bardenes; and the major portion of a farm, which had had buildings upon it, called Cotwyns. Specific items he inherit-ed were his father's horse mill, with the stones and other appurtenances to it, four milk cows, and a bay mare.
William's mother lived until 1576, and during that time William undoubtedly kept the faith his father had in him in providing her with various items. After she died William and Yorgaret were able to add to their use the part of the house that had been hers. By that time they had become parents to four daughters. Three years later they were blessed with a son, which they named Stephen. When the lad was not yet five years old his father passed away. William left no will, but evidently his property passed to his son, for Stephen later transmitted it by will to his own son. William died in December of 1583.
In 1596 William's brother John prepared his will, and in it named William's son-in-law William Brame. It seems certain that Margaret is the "Margarett Aldous widow" who was buried at Fressingfield 5 June 1605.
