• Notes

  As no Bulls appear in the baptism registers of either Beaulieu or Boldre before 1690, the family presumably came from elsewhere. Bull v. Braxton mentions Bull family property across the New Forest in Ringwood, and a Charles Bull son of Francis was baptised there in 1667, the year before Charles's wife Mary was baptised in Beaulieu. The dates fit, but more conclusively, Charles and Mary had a son with the unusual name Lovell Bull. On 14 Dec 1656 Francis Bull married Jane Lovell in Ringwood, and Charles and Mary may have named one of their younger sons after his grandmother. However it should be noted that this was not the only Bull–Lovell marriage, as Jane's sister Hester Lovell married a John Bull and had a son named Lovell Bull too. It is just possible that Charles was an undocumented child of John and Hester, though this is difficult chronologically: Charles would have to have been born in c1674, making him just 18 when he married, and six years Mary's junior. Not impossible, but highly improbable when the alternative explanation is that Charles is the well-documented child of Francis. [1, 3, 5]
