Other Events and Attributes:

• Name: 1571, Shimpling, Norfolk, UK; Extract from “The History and Antiquities of the County of Norfolk: Clavering, Depwade, Diss and Earsham” 1781. The book describes “Shimpling, or Shimplingham, as it is wrote in the Doomsday book”. “it is a rectory appendant to the manor” “The rectory hath a house and sixteen acres of glebe” “The chancel is covered with large grave-stones, all disrobed of their brasses; several of them were laid over the rectors ….. The rest, that had arms, we take to be laid over the Shimplings, and the Shardelowes.” “John Aldham … he died in 1558 and was buried in this chancel, leaving his part to John, his son, who held it jointly with Bonaventure Shardelow in 1571; Mr. Aldham had a fourth part of the manor, and a third turn, and Mr. Shardelowe three parts and two turns. …. It looks as if the Mottes had Aldham's part, and afterwards purchased Shardelowe's of Mr. John Shardelow who held it til 1611.”

Notes:

Died:
Ancestry.com has a record header for a Probate entry with a 1588 date on it for him, but it says the book is 'Marriages'. Maybe there is a will for him? Also mention of him as a 'gent' with 208 homes?

Notes:

Name:
'The Visitacion of Norfolk 1563' includes a pedigree which shows Simon as the son of John
However ....
https://www.british-history.ac.uk/vch/cambs/vol10/pp136-143
This states that John, shown here as Simon\'s father died without issue.
This puts the line before Simon in doubt.

Simon married GODBOLT, Unkown. Unkown was born in Norfolk, England. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

Name:
Godbolt of Norfolk. I cannot find any 15th century Godbolt's but there are some Godbolds in Fressingfield, Suffolk which is just 10 miles from Shimpling. eg John Godbold was born there in 1423, he had children John born 1450 and Alice born 1455 (she would fit as a potential wife of Simon but no evidence of that).
