 William Eddye Genealogy   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
William Eddy was born probably between 1558 and 1564 and died in 1616, so that with the exception of the last few years, his whole life was spent in that great period, the Age of Elizabeth.
Thus it seems likely that in 1591 William Eddye was a strict Conformist and it is probable that he held these views for the greater part of his life, for there seem to be no accounts of any religious disturbances recorded in the parish during his incumbency.
Bell draws the conclusion that William Eddy did not go to extremes in his beliefs, but was a sincere adherent of the Church of England as it was in the reign of Elizabeth.
