Summary
“A most valourous man, and one that is to be reckoned amongst the famousest men of our age for counsell and glory gotten at sea.”
Camden, 3rd edition, 1635, p. 433.The following account of the life of Sir Martin Frobisher has been derived from Fuller's Worthies, Camden, Campbell's Lives of the Admirals, Barrow's Naval Worthies of Queen Elizabeth's Reign, Notes and Queries, p. 478, June 11th, 1859, History and Antiquities of Doncaster, by Dr. Miller, and MS. papers in the British Museum.
Dr. Miller says—“It appears that Francis Frobisher was mayor of Doncaster in 1535, and was probably the father of Martin. Unfortunately, the parish register does not commence the baptisms until 1558. However, I have found the baptism of several of his relations, viz.: 1561, May 30th, Christian, daughter of William Frobisher; 1564, March 2nd, Darcye, son of the same; 1566, March 18th, Matthew, son of the same; 1567, Jan. 18th, Elizabeth, daughter of the same. In Manerser's Account of Yorkshire Families it is stated that the father of Sir Martin Frobisher resided some time at Finningley; his mother was daughter to Mr. Rogers of Everton. His grandfather william married Margaret, daughter of William Boynton, of Burmston, Esq. His great great grandfather, Francis, was recorder of Doncaster, and married Christian, daughter of Sir Brian Hastings, Knt.”
