Note 1
!Notes: Clothworkers’ Company apprenticeships typically began around age 14
So a birth in ~1521 means William could have been apprenticed around 1535
He’d then be freeman by ~1542, making him active just in time to:
Be established by the 1550s when his daughters are mentioned
Fit the timeline of his sister Catherine’s marriage
As a younger son of Sir Roger, he wouldn’t have inherited land, making trade the expected path
