Ambrose Corbie

Of their children, sons Ambrose, Ralph and Robert, became Jesuit priests (Richard died as a student at Saint-Omer) and their two surviving daughters, Mary and Catherine, became Benedictine nuns in Brussels.

Gerald Corbie entered the Society of Jesus as a lay brother in 1628, having brought his own father Ralph (aged 100) back to Catholicism.

Isabella Corbie was professed a Benedictine at Ghent and died a centenarian on 25 December 1652.

Ambrose, aged 12, entered St-Omer and, in 1622, the Venerable English College in Rome.

Having taught with some success for some years at St-Omers, and been minister at Ghent in 1645, he was appointed confessor at the English college, Rome, where he died, aged 44.
