  Notes	According to Gillian West's article included in Christopher Huffam's notes, this Mary Hougham is the daughter of Solomon Hougham who had a brother Charles, cousins of Christopher Huffam. The brothers were goldsmiths and Solomon Royes had been Solomon Hougham's apprentice. But as noted in Solomon's notes, the regular use of a middle name Mordaunt in the Royes family favours the data as we have it, since in this instance Mary's grandmother was a Sarah Mordaunt and there is no suuch instance of the name if her father was Solomon Hougham. As per the will of her uncle Charles Mordaunt Hougham she received property in Eastgate, Rochester. It is possibly this that explains Gillian West's error about which Charles Hougham was her uncle and her assumption that she was the daughter of Solomon. In marriage registration, described as "of Hackney, London, England" She is not mentioned in Solomon's will and yet she and two daughters were with him at the time of the 1841 census (6 June), so we can assume that she died between the census and the date Solomon signed his will - 25 Jun 1842.

  		1700 ROYES The earliest known Royes - John We had previously identified John Royes 1752-1832 as our earliest Royes. We then identified his father as William Royes - no information about birth or marriage. We have information that a William Royes was born in 1723 in Lincolnshire. But John 1752 was born in, worked, married and died in Canterbury, Kent. So this link is uncertain though not impossible. Lincolnshire William's wife is Sarah Taylor and his parents were John and Mary Royes.
