William son of Laurence and Amy Ruck, from Canterbury. Burial was not paid for [appears at the bottom of the page]
The entry made of William's burial would, on the face of it, suggest that Laurence and Amy Ruck had moved to Canterbury for a brief period of time. However, I have found no other indication to support that assumption. Instead, upon further reflection and inasmuch as Laurence and Amy buried their daughter Lucy two days following the burial of William at which time they were referred to as being of Ospringe, I have come to the conclusion that the burial entry was alluding to the place of residence of William and not of his parents. William by the time of his death would have been approximately 16 years old and it may be that he had gone into Canterbury to apprentice with another family member.
