John Buller is the only Buller in the militia muster list of Barnham in 1535, about the time that Henry were born. ("Suffolk Muster Roll, 1534-1631" [typescript, 1947; Society of Genealogists, London], 21, 22 [FHL #453040 item 3]). Date of birth is an approximation.
MAR: No mar rec found. Children of Henry and Margaret Buller were baptized at Barnham St. Martin, 1563, 1567, 1574 (Barnham St. Martin BTs [FHL #989621, 989622]).

BIRTH: Date and place of birth are approximations.
MAR #1: The will of Agnes Bignett of Hoxne, widow of Thomas Bignett, 20 May 1552, proved 7 Nov 1552, fails to make any bequest to Thomas's son William, while making bequests to all of the other known children of Thomas Bignett (Archdeaconry Court of Suffolk, reg wills, 16:379 [FHL #096916]). This suggests Agnes is a second wife and not the mother of William, who is probably the eldest son of Thomas.
MAR #2: A wife Agnes is identified in Thomas's will, below. Also see the above discussion.
DEATH: See the will of Thomas Bignett of Hoxne, 16 Jan 1541/2, proved 6 Jun 1547, Archdeaconry Court of Suffolk, reg wills, 15:312 (FHL #096915).
