Raphe Mobberley abt 1570
Posted: Wed Mar 01, 2023 9:50 pm
I am trying to firm up details of Raphe Mobberley. I am descended from his son John (abt 1600-1667)
Raphe was born in either 1570 or 1550 (but I think 1570 is more likely).
Although some people on various Ancestry family trees think he was born in Old Swinford, I think this is incorrect. I have been told Raphe moved to Oldswinford with Paul Henzey who was the first glassmaker in Stourbridge. This was probably in the beginning of 1611. The alternate place of birth I have - which I suspect is more likely - is Norton in the Moors in Staffordshire.
Raphe died in 1623 in Old Swinford.
I am keen to confirm when and where he was born as well as determine who his parents and grandparents were as well as the details of his wife(s).
Any help or pointers re where to look would be gratefully received as I really know very little about the available records and sources.
Kind regards
Robbo
