THE FULWOODS OF SEDGLEY
Isabell Fulwood married Owen Aston 15 October 1615 in Sedgley,
Staffordshire, England. Owen was a nailor or nailmaker. Isabell
died and was buried 12 March 1662 in Sedgley: "Buried Izabell,
widow of Owen Astan, Ettings.". Owen and Isabell had the
following children: Ann (1616), James (1618), Robert (1620), Mary
(1624), William (1625), and Elizabeth (1629) in Sedgley.
No christening record has been found for Isabell. Her husband was
born in about 1578. Isabell was probably born between 1578 and
1595. There were several Fulwood families having children in
Sedgley in the right time period:
It is possible that Isabel Fulwood was the daughter of any of
these Fulwoods, since she was born within the right time frame.
The following children were christened in Sedgley during a time
when the parent's name was not recorded:
This is the proposed family group record for Isabel Fulwood:

Two other Fulwoods are shown in early parish records:
Many of the Fulwoods are from the village of Coseley. There is a
location in Coseley named
Fullwoods End. There was a colliery named Fullwoods End Colliery
in Coseley. Perhaps Fullwoods End was the ancestral homeland of
the Fulwoods.
Sedgley was included in A List of Families in the Archdeaconry
of Stafford 1532-3, and only one Fulwood family was listed
in the parish. The families were listed in the "Paroche de
Segeley the Sounday afore Wytsondy" or in the parish of
Sedgley the Sunday before Whit Sunday, 1532. The Fulwood family
was listed in the townland of Woodsetton.

This is the family of John Fullwood, his wife Margery,
and children Henry, Christian, Elizabeth and Agnes. John died and
was buried in 1559. Henry was likely the same Henry who was buried
in 1558.
