Information I have on Henry Hobson and family. This is from a funeral
certificate. I will copy it as it is. EXACTLY

Hello All. I seem to have most of what is known about the Cary family
but am now working on the wives' families. Can anyone help me with
information about Alice Hobson who married John Cary in 1618 in Bristol,
England. She was the daughter of Henry Hobson and Alice Dass/Dans.
Then there is Anne Taylor, the daughter of Captain Thomas Taylor who
married Miles Cary in 1645. Does anyone have a birthdate for Anne or
information on her parents.
Also any information on Bridget Cary (1651-1671) who married Captain
William Bassett in 1670. He was the son of William Bassett who died
1646 and Anne (no surname).
These women and their parents have puzzled me for some time and I just
don't know where to look for further information. You can imagine it is
quite hard when you live so far away in Australia. So much is known
about the Cary men and I would love to fill in the information gaps for
the wives.
Thank you in anticipation.
Robyn Lowndes.
