ALICE COLLIER
THE STORY AS I KNOW IT
Alice Collier was christened March 13, 1599/1600
in Ombersly, Worchester England. Her parents
were Henry Collier and Frances
Jones. The Jones family was of
Ombersley. It is not known yet whether the young
Collier family stayed in Ombersly or returned to Henry's
home in Feckenham. By the time Alice was a young
woman the Royal Forest around Feckenham had been sold off
and turned into farmland.
Alice married George Maris, June 20, 1622
in Bradley, Worchester. There does not seem
to be a Bradley anymore. Best I can tell it was east
of Droitwich and maybe a bit south. However, most if
not all of their married life they lived in Grafton
Flyford. This is a small village east of
Worcester.
Alice and George Maris had 6 known children,
all or most born in Grafton Flyford. I have no
documentation. These names and dates were found on
the web.
1. Anne Maris born c1623
2. Richard Maris born c1625
3. Francis Maris born c1628
4. Elizabeth Maris born c1631
5. George Maris born c1631, possibly Elizabeth's
twin. He wed Alice Wellsmith and immigrated to
Pennsylvania.
6. Mary Maris born about 1638
Alice Collier Maris lived a full life. She
lived 66+ years. They must have been fairly well off for
she wrote a will, dated Aug 18, 1664, proved July 7, 1666
in Grafton Flyford. Again this is from a web source,
not actual documentation. George Maris had
died a few years before 1658/9, but by that time all their
children were grown. They are probably buried in the
parish church, St. John Baptist of Grafton Flyford.
