Biography:
Born in Lockington - probably in 1508 (educated guess based on parents' marriage).
Buried on the 24 November 1558 in Lockington (Lockington transcript Parish records) but Castle Donington parish records say a Roger Mee from Lockington was buried on 27 November 1558 and as 4 and 7 look similar its assumed they were the same person.
An Ancrete is mentioned in John's will as being his daughter. Probably Roger's first child and could be 21/22 by John's death - thus John would be providing her with a dowry.
A family of Mee, probably the descendants of Roger, were living at Lockington until the middle of the nineteenth century. A Robert Mee, baptized at Lockington, 19th March, 1675, married in 1701 Sybill Kilbourne of Lockington. He is described as a yeoman, and settled at Stanton-by-Dale, co. Derby, where he died in 1725. His descendants were living at Stanton-by-Dale in 1824.
