      Mem. I maried my :first wife Dorothe Crooke ye 3 of July
      1569, and by her I had these children following: vtt.

      1. Dorothe Honiwood, my first child, was borne at London
      uppon Thursday ye 25 of December 1572, between ye hewers of
      xii b and one in ye morninge, and was baptized the Sonday fol .•
      lowing at ye parish church of St. Gregoryes neere Powles in
      pp 169-185, 189-192, 256-269, 312-339, 433-446
      The date of the baptism disagrees with the reported date of birth in Vol. 1, p. 569 of the Topographer and Genealogist, vizt. "P. 398, at foot, add, "My father maried my mother in Febr. 1543, as by her owne speeche appears, affirminge that she was maried at Shroftyde, and the lycence for mariadge is so dated, and that also apeareth true by the indentures of mariadge yt passed betweene my father and grandfather Waters. My mother also saieth yt I was born at Royton uppon M's [Michaelmas] eve's eve was twelve moneth following, wch was ye 27 of September 1545. And so am I at M's eve's eve 1612 of the age of 67 yeares.""
