| Notes |
- BIRTH: No birth/chr rec found. A combination of evidence suggests that Richard is a son of an unknown son of Peter Elwyn of Wooddalling. Richard's will, below, shows that he is the brother of John and William Elwyn of Heigham. The will of brother John Ellwyn of Heigham, 31 Dec 1598, proved Oct 1600, mentions his cousin Peter Barker, citizen and alderman of Norwich (Consistory Court of Norwich, reg wills, 96:166 [FHL #094923]). The will of Rev. John Elwyn of St. Michael's in Coslany, Norwich, 19 Mar 1568/9, proved 13 Sep 1569, mentions the children of Thomas Barker, including the son Peter, then under 21 (Ibid, 76:228 [FHL #094904]). Rev. John Elwyn is the son of Peter Elwyn of Wooddalling, the testator of 1556. In summary, these wills show a connection to Peter Elwyn through the Barker family. Hence, it is believed that Richard is the son of an unknown son of Peter Elwyn who died before the latter's will was written in 1556. The will of Peter Elwyn of Wooddalling, 16 Jun 1556, proved 27 Sep 1557, mentions a grandson William Elwyn the younger, who is apparently the William Elwyn of Heigham (Consistory Court of Norwich, reg wills, 63:151 [FHL #094894]). Date and place of birth are approximations. For additional information, see G. Andrews Moriarty, "The Elwyns of Norfolk," MISCELLANEA GENEALOGICA ET HERALDICA, ed A. W. Hughes Clarke, 5th series, 6(1926-28):17-32 (FHL #942 B2m).
MAR: No mar rec found. Wife Agnes is mentioned in his will, below.
BUR: "North Walsham Burials, 1541 to 1699" (transcript, n.d.), 26 (FHL #894723). Also see the will of Richard Elwyn of North Walsham, 10 Aug 1583, proved 2 Sep 1583, Consistory Court of Norwich, 83:126 [FHL #094991]).
