- Francis Thrale the younger was also connected with Bedfordshire for he was a deponent concerning a lease of land apparently in Gifford, parish of Sandy in Bedfordshire. "Francis Thrale of Westminster, Middx, gentleman, aged aged 37, sworn 15 May 1626, says he knew the parties concerned. Likewise two years later, he was of St. Andrew, Holborn, London, gentleman, "aged about 40, sworn 1628 deposed to knowing nothing about £600 given by the late Countess of Sussex to the defendant Thomas Mewtys Esq. The sister of Francis Thrale, Petronolle Thrale, "otherwise called for Brevities sake Ellienor or Nell Thrale" (did she sell oranges?) "of St. Nicholas Acons, London, spinster, aged about 40, sworn 1634, said she had been servant to Mrs. Woodrow for six years and before that to Sir Martin Lumley for two years." (16)
