Claim: Anne Vavasour is a Maid of Honour born 1560, she died in 1650 but was never married.
Evidence: By 1590, she had married a sea captain by the name of John Finch. She later married John Richardson, while her first husband was still alive; and as a consequence, she was brought up before the High Commission on a charge of bigamy, for which she had to pay a fine of £2000; however, she was spared having to perform a public penance.
