Yesterday was the anniversary of the baptism of Simon DICKINSON

Simon DICKINSON was baptized June 24, 1541 in Bradley, Staffordshire, England. He was my 10th great-grandfather. I have added him to our tree at ancestry.

Simon's parents were Richard DICKINSON (b.1521) and Elizabeth BAGNALL. Richard was a Magistrate who lived at Bradley Hall, in Staffordshire.  The couple were married about 1540. Simon was named for his maternal grandfather, Simon BAGNALL

There is some contention about Simon's parents. Some believe them to be James DICKINSON and Elizabeth HASLELOCK.

Here is a fine line drawing and description of Bradley Hall.

Previously I had thought Bradley Hall to be in Bradley, Staffordshire. It seems that it was actually in Kingswinford. There is a local connection to the Gunpowder Plot of 1605.

Simon Dickinson married Katherine SUTTON on February 21, 1541 in Bradley Hall, Staffordshire. They had at least four children: Edward, Dudley, Eleanor & William.


Simon died in 1613 in Bradley Hall, Staffordshire.
