Richard Prime

before 1 January 1644 – after 8 October 1687

Bickenhill, Warwickshire, England

Current position

Richard Pryme was christened at Bickenhill on 1 January 1644 to Richard and Alis Pryme. He is probably the Richard Prime who fathered children in the same parish from 1680 to 1687, including William Prime, but no record explicitly bridges the christened child to the later father. The link to William remains uncertain.
