It’s really valauble information for those of us studying the Civil War, and the military forces in York at the time. Thanks!

He was killed on 21st June 1644 defending Bootham Bar against Parliamentarians.His father William and brother Christopher 9th and 8th great grandfathers were Lord Mayors of York.You never know what you may find when you start looking, fascinating,it certainly brings history to life.
