Further Notes
Binding - Arber (I,39) notes that the forty apprentices presented on the 13th, 14th and 15th Oct 1556,N, Coldock among them, were likely being "officially enrolled" and that many of them "had probably already served for some years". --- Assistantship - Greg (p.xxiii) thought it "reasonable to suppose that past officers remained members of the Court" and that most of those men who became Assistants between 1576 and 1602 without evidence of direct election --- did so by virtue of their election as Under Warden. ---

COLDOCK (FRANCIS), bookseller in London, 1561-1603; (1) Lombard Street, over against the Cardinal's Hat; (2) The Green Dragon, St. Paul's Churchyard. Apprentice with William Bonham { BONHAM, William (1497 - 1557) ‹ LBT 06973 › }, stationer, and took up his freedom on December 2nd, 1557 [Arber, i. 70]. His first book entry in the Registers occurs during the year ending July 8th, 1561, and in the following year he and Thomas Hacket { HACKETT, Thomas ‹ LBT 07579 › }, his neighbour at the sign of the Pope's Head in Lombard Street, were fined by the Company for giving each other "unseemly words." Francis Coldock was received into the Livery on June 29th, 1570 [Arber, i. 421], and afterwards became an important member of the Company and one of the largest dealers in books in London. He appears to have moved about this time into other premises in St. Paul's Churchyard, known by the sign of the Green Dragon, which he rented of Reginald Wolfe { WOLFE, Reginolde ‹ LBT 08812 › }, and his lease was confirmed to him by Johane Wolfe { WOLF, Joan ( - 1574) ‹ LBT 03304 › } in her will [Plomer, Wills, p. 22]. In the year 1575-6 Francis Coldock and Thomas Hacket were acting as renters for the Company, and in Easter term, 1576, he brought an action in the King's Bench against John Heam, or Herne, stationer and bookseller of Taunton, for the recovery of a debt of £88, doubtless for books supplied [Coram Rege Roll, Easter, 19 Eliz. m. 38]. In the years 1580-1 and 1581-2 he served as Junior Warden, in 1587-8-9 as Senior Warden, and he was Master of the Company in the years 1591-2 and 1595-6. Francis Coldocke married Alice { BURTON, Alice (mar. COLDOCK) ( - 1616) ‹ LBT 05090 › }, the daughter of Simon Burton of the Parish of St. Andrew Undershaft and the widow of Richard Waterson { WATERSON, Richard ‹ LBT 28238 › }, stationer, but whether she was his first wife is unknown. He died between September 3rd, 1602, and February 1st, 1602/3, when his will was proved. He left no son, but his daughter Joan { COLDOCK, Joan (mar. PONSONBY) ‹ LBT 03220 › } was married to William Ponsonby { PONSONBY, William ( - 1603) ‹ LBT 08175 › } the bookseller [Plomer, Wills, p. 37). His widow afterwards married Isaac Bing { BINGE, Isaac ( - 1604) ‹ LBT 07343 › }.
