Further Notes
Arber, II, 864 records that on the day Ockould was freed his master, Thomas Scarlet, was fined 32s.8d. For keeping him seven years without formally binding him. --- Assistantship - Ockould seems to have been one of the last for men to have becoma a member of the Court in the olde manner, by virtue of being chosen Under Warden at the Court elections of late June or early Jul 1613 (see G & B, xxiii). --- Upper Wardenshhip and Mastership - There is no record of Ockould's attendance at Court between 3 Mar 1619 and 3 Dec 1632. A Court Book memo of 22 Feb 1620 reveals that he was then in debt and he may have ceased attending until his affairs improved, thus being passed over for the Upper Wardenship and Mastership. ---

OCKOULD (RICHARD), bookseller in London, 1596-1639; (?) Gray's Inn Gate [Sayle]. Was admitted a freeman of the Stationers' Company on December 12th, 1593, by the presentation of Thomas Scarlet { SCARLETT, Thomas ‹ LBT 07407 › }, who at the same time was fined for keeping him for seven years unpresented [Arber, ii. 713, 864]. His first book entry was made in the Registers on November 29th, 1596. This was a sermon preached at Paul's Cross and was printed for him by the widow Orwin { KINGSTON, Joan (mar. ORWIN) ‹ LBT 03236 › } and was to be sold at the Bible in St. Paul's Churchyard, then in the occupation of the widow Broom { BROOME, Joan ( - 1601) ‹ LBT 03228 › }. In 1605 he was in partnership with Henry Tomes { THOMAS, Henry ‹ LBT 07754 › }, and entered the first part of Bacon's Advancement of Learning [Arber, iii. 299], which however only has Tomes' name in the imprint. Ockould had been admitted into the Livery on July 1st, 1598, and served the office of Under Warden in the year 1613/4. He was one of the shareholders in the Latin stock. In 1629 he assigned his copyright in Bacon's Advancement to W. Washington { WASHINGTON, William ‹ LBT 10152 › } [Arber, iv. 207], and the remainder of his copies were transferred to his son Henry { OCKOLD, Henry ( - 1645) ‹ LBT 10486 › } on October 8th, 1639 [Arber, iv. 482].
