Lettice Shakespeare

Other Events:

• Name: Lettes Shaxper
• Name: Lettice Drake
• Reference Number: 3734

Notes:

An unsourced IGI record reportedly shows a marriage date of 25 Jun 1616 in Arden, Warwick, England between John Drake and Lettice Shakespeare (Note: a reputed relative of William Shakespeare).As a possible confirmation of this, a record dated 25 Jun1615 has been found. The handwriting is very hard to read. It seems to say "John Drake & Lettes Srhaxper were married 25th day of June 1615" See attached marriage record.

Death record 6 Dec 1623 in Bradford, West Yorkshire "the wife of John Drake of London" would not seem to be the correct person, based on location. Although this is offered as the death record in certain online trees.
