• Family Notes
  • William and Judith Glasspoole apparently lived first in Burgh Castle, then in Somerleyton parish, and (from before 1773) in Blundeston parish before settling in South Wootten, Norfolk. This William appears in Blundeston documents in 1775 and 1781, having undertaken to pay the rental of the Blundeston "Town Pightle" and adjoining tenements (presumably for the benefit of the poor) for a term ending in 1781, and one of these documents bears his signature. Sometime after 1788 he and his family moved to Norfolk where the family seems to have had property all along. William Glasspoole made his will in January 1802 with a codicil in 1806, which was proved 30 July 1807. In it he disposed of his messuages, tenements, and hereditaments both freehold and copyhold, in Somerleyton, and names various members of his immediate family. William and Judith (Brame) Glasspoole had 11 children, the first three baptised in Somerleyton, and the rest in Blundeston

They had a son named Thomas.
