My 9x Great Grandfather Thomas Blackham was born in 1586 at Wolverhampton Staffordshire,married Margery Mace 11/11/1609 at Sutton Coldfield Warwickshire
I have all of his 6 childrens details
I am trying to find his date of death, I have found some people have him dying in Babcock British Colonies in America in 1628.
Is this correct? Perhaps someone can help me with some record of this
Thank You

Nov 4th Thomas Blackham of Sutton Coldfield

Thank you Shirley for your messages.
I have seen the name as Marr, but I have her parents as George Mace abt 1556 died 1648 & Ann Ainge abt 1653 died 1610 Married 22 November 1584

I am trying to find how I can contact Staffordshire Diocese of Lichfield and Coventry Wills and Probate so I can then order a copy of the Will of Thomas Blackham who died 4/11/1623.

Ellen, the original as well as the transcript posted by Shirley is available on Find My Past. I've hopefully downloaded and attached to a PM to you. If they don't arrive or you can't open let me know your own email address by PM and I'll try that way.

Googling Lichfield RO shows it closed to the public end of last year and records now held at -

Now there are 2 possibilities not what I was hoping for.
Unfortunatley I live in Perth Western Australia so not able to go to the Staffordshire Office. :-( thank you everyone for your input

Have sent more details by PM, the 1623 is not an actual will, but an inventory of his possessions, have been able to read some of it. As it mentions Margeria (Latin Marjory) I would think it is his?

You can email the RO who may be able to help more. Along with the details posted by Shirley, these are the other references to him on FMP

This is just a list of names and dates which include his -
