| LEGAL DOCUMENTS |
Robert was co-executor (together with his uncle, John Ivory) of his father Robert Yuerye's will and
thus recieved "all residue" of the estate to be divided with his uncle, Roger Ivory[2].
He was on the lay subsidy for Offley, Hertfordshire, England for the amount of 3s. 4d. during the year 34-35 Henry VIII (1542-1544), along with his brother Roger and his uncle John (1d. each)[2]. Finally, he was a plaintiff in the Court of Request against Gregory Warren in 1536[3]. The Court entry reads: "Robert Ivery of Offley, co. Herts., husbandman, sued Gregory Warren and Alice his wife [sic] in regard to the lease of a house in Offley, formerly the freehold property of the said Gregory in the right of his wife Alice. The lease was for twenty-one years from 12 December 27 Henry VIII [1535], and the said Alice died before the lease began when the property went to her son and heir by a former marriage, Thomas Skypes. The said Gregory agreed to cause the said Thomas to confirm said lease if the said Robert Ivery would pay him 10 marks, which he did. The said Thomas has not confirmed the lease, and the said Gregory will not refund the 10 marks paid. [Undated, but after the feast of Pentecost. 28 Henry VIII, i.e. after 28 May 1536]. (Public Record Office, Court of Requests, Bundle 3, No. 258.)[4] |
