So the above 1646 Will  we have a band of 4 brothers and possibly a sister….

BERNARD PICKERING   married Elizabeth Finchett on February 14, 1635 at St. Peter, Chester.

 JOHN PICKERING

            “my brother Johns 3 daughters”

 THOMAS PICKERING    

            “his children”

WILLIAM PICKERING 

            “children”  Sarah Pickering   John Pickering

? (SISTER PICKERING)   married John Aldcock.

(note this is base on the assumption that “my brother John aldcoke” is actually a brother in law)

My brother in law – Thomas ffinchett also mentioned as My brother Tho. ffinchett
My brother John Aldcoke
