DUFF, E.G. (1905), p.40
DOCKWRAY (THOMAS), stationer and first Master of the new Stationers' Company, was by profession a notary. He was a strong Catholic, and as early as 1533 was employed by Bishop Stokesley in his crusade against English religious books printed abroad. In August of that year Vaughan wrote to Cromwell, "The bishop of London, Stokesley, has had a servant in Antwerp this fortnight. If you send for Henry Pepwall { PEPWELL, Henry ( - 1541) ‹ LBT 28281 › } a stationer in Paul's Churchyard who was often with him, he will tell you his business. The bishop of London's servant is one Docwraye, a notary public." (L. and P. of Henry VIII, vol. iv., p.407.] In 1539 he was living in St. Paul's Churchyard. At the time of the incorporation of the Stationers' Company in 1557 he was Master, but did not long survive, dying on June 23rd, 1559. His will, a lengthy document, leaves bequests to Anne his wife { DOCKWRAY, Anne ‹ LBT 03123 › }, his brothers, sisters, and nephews, and also a considerable sum to charity. He was buried in St. Faith's Church, and his epitaph has been preserved by Dugdale. [History of St. Paul's, p. 122.]
