More on descents of Thomas Owen of Condover / Sarah Baskervi

As is typical I start down one path and accidently trip over something
of much more interest.

I was really only looking for where "St Faith" was as a burial place
and found that it's described as the "Chapel of St Faith's under St
Paul's Cathedral"

I'm going to assume this is in London as it turns out all the families
involved in this sordid tale lived there.

Bonham Norton of London, Master of the Stationers Company and at times
Royal Printer was buried there in 1635, he having died 5 Apr. His
father William Norton has a DNB entry with date 1527-1593. William
was also Master of the Stationers Company and married Joan Bonham
hence the name of their son, her father William Bonham was also a
stationer.

William Norton died in London and left a Will (PCCS Dixy) and is
buried as well at the "Church of St Faith under St Paul's Cathedral"
as it's stated.

Bonham Norton was his only son was was born in Shropshire.

It has been known that Bonham married Jane Owen, daughter of Thomas
Owen of Condover, Judge of the Court of Common Pleas (died 1598) by
his wife Sarah Baskerville. Jane survived her husband Bonham Norton.
They had "six sons and five daughters" (see
http://books.google.com/books?vid=08tG5 ... +Norton%22)

Other than those I've seen no specific dates for this family, however
today I accidently discovered the marriage extracted, stating 15 Dec
1590 at Saint Michael Bassishaw, London Bonham Norton to Jane Owen.
(For marriage see http://www.familysearch.org - IGI - British Isles - Batch
M001471)

It's been known that their eldest son was William Norton and today
I've found his baptism extracted as 5 Dec 1591 also Saint Michael
Bassishaw, London. (For baptism see http://www.familysearch.org - IGI -
British Isles - Batch P001471)

Their other children with known names are Thomas, Arthur, Roger, John,
George and Sarah so I'm missing a few, but either they were not
baptised at Saint Michael Bassishaw, London OR the register for that
church is not completely extracted for this time period.

At least we can now put certain restrictive birth ranges on the
children. In particular Sarah Norton stated to be "eldest daughter"
in a court fight was married in 1615 to Christopher Barker the eldest
son [as stated] of Robert Barker, Royal Printer in 1603 who died in
1645 *in prison*.

Christopher Barker but have been born by 1601 at the latest as his SON
also Christopher Barker sets himself up as a printer in London in
1640, so here I'm allowing the son to be an adult by this time.

With these restrictions, Sarah Norton must have been born between 1592
and 1606. So if anyone sees a Sarah Norton in the IGI with a father
something like "Bonham" I'd appreciate knowing it.

One of the children of Christopher Barker and Sarah Norton was Anne
Barker who married Robert Kennedy Bart, Baron of the Exchequer [of
Ireland??] from 1661 to 1681 who has a pedigree given back three
generations (in part) but otherwise I know nothing more about his
ancestors, certainly there might be a royal connection in his past.

Richard Kennedy, Bart by his wife Anne Barker had at least two
daughters, one of whom Elizabeth Kennedy married Edmund Jones the
Bishop of Cloyne 1682-92 and then of St Asaph 1692-1703
