Open: Bozoune Crowe's PCC will (PROB 11/289/177) is unimaged and may name Gournay kin
Bozoune Crowe's will — made 15 September 1658 and proved 11 March 1658/9 — survives as PROB 11/289/177, catalogued at The National Archives under a misrendering of both names, "Will of Bozann Crome, Gentleman of East Bilney, Norfolk." It was found by a place-anchored catalogue probe after surname probes failed, and no image has been pulled. Whether it names his wife Elizabeth's Gournay kin is the one document that could convert the East Bilney geography into a stated kinship.
