Seems a late marriage??
thank you ian.....i have this and have now tried to go back further but have a problem...there are either 2 john pariss' or [and this seems to fit year wise] that thomas father john was previously married to helen goodlet....before elisabeth boag. i think my john pariss is son of james paris and isobel fleeming and born 1754.... as james and isobel also had a son thomas shairp pariss b.1773 and the shairp middle name runs through 4 more generations...although i can't get where that connection begins!i know james and isobell had their children in uphall where there is houston house built for the shairp family but can make no marriage connection it must be 1600/1700's....any ideas? i understand a shairp was advocate to mary queen of scots so i'm very intrigued!

FROGNAL, or more properly Frogenhall, is an estate in this parish, lying about a mile south-eastward from the manor of Lucies last-described, of which it was probably once accounted a part, and seems to have been given by Richard de Lucy, the owner of that manor, about the reign of king Henry III. to William de Frogenhall, whose ancestors were seated at Frogenhall, in Tenham.
....Richard Frogenhall, died possessed of this estate about the 34th year of Edward III. from whom it descended down to Thomas Frogenhall, who died in the reign of king Henry IV. without male issue, from him it passed by Elizabeth, one of his two daughters and coheirs, in marriage to John Northwood, ... in two daughters and coheirs, Joane, the youngest of them, carried this estate in marriage to Sir John Norton, who about the beginning of king Henry VIII.'s reign, conveyed it to Thomas Lynacre, priest...He died possessed of it in 1524.

Frogenhall, usually called Frognall, is a manor situated near the marshes, ... Frogenhall Valence, ...Leland ... says, “The maner of Frogenhale, communely callid Frogenolle, yoinith to the quarteres of Thong castelle, in Kent, by Sidingburne, and is of XLV. rent by yere: of this very auncient house was a knight that did great feates in France, and is written of - Frogenhalle, that is now, was sunne to one of the Saint John of Bedforde of Northamptonshire, had VI or VII dougters, that after were very welle maried.” ....continued down to Thomas Frogenhall, who leaving no male issue by Joane his wife; daughter and heir of William de Apulderfield, his daughter and heir Anne carried this manor in marriage to Thomas Quadring, of London, who bore for his arms, Ermine, a sess engrailed, gules, and he in like manner leaving one sole daughter Joane, his heir, she entitled her husband, Richard Driland, of Cooksditch, in Faversham,.... he had only one daughter Katherine, who become heir to her mother’s inheritance, and marrying with Reginald Norton, esq. of Lees court, in Sheldwich, he in her right became possessed of it, at the latter end of the reign of King Henry VII [attested pedigree in manuscript of Norton]. His son, Sir John Norton, of Northwood, seems to have sold this manor to Sir Thomas Wyatt, who in the 33d year of King Henry VIII. passed away the manor of Froggynhale Valence, among other premises, to the King ....
THE MANOR OF LUDDENHAM ....From the family of Northwood this manor passed into that of Frogenhall; John de Frogenhall, at the latter end of king Edward the IIId.'s reign, died possessed of it, with an appendage called Bishopsbush. After which it at length descended in the beginning of king Edward the IVth.'s reign to Thomas Frogenhall, who married Joane, daughter and heir of William de Apulderfield, and dying in 1576, being the 17th year of that reign, was buried with his wife in Faversham church; their daughter and sole heir Anne, carried this manor in marriage to Mr. Thomas Quadring, of London, and he in like manner leaving one sole daughter and heir Joane. she entitled her husband Richard Dryland, of Cooksditch, in Faversham, to the possession of it.

Frogenhalle, Frogenhall, Frognal.
An Introduction
The following study was conceived following the reading of a 1720 Map showing the holdings of the Manor of Frogen-Hall (now Frognal) which brought to light not only a large moated site, but several other areas within the Manor with substantial buildings of some note, long since lost and whose sites have gone unrecognised and unrecorded. (See Fig. 1) The river Swale bound the Manor to the North and the Roman ‘Watling Street’ (now the A2) to the south. To the East lies the parent parish of Teynham with the parish of Tonge to the West. This Westernmost boundary is also the Roman boundary dividing East and west Kent and originally stretched to the South coast. .. Even the name is of Old English origin, meaning the frogs' corner or nook,...Leland however does say “..the Manor of Frogenhall (Frognal) commonly called Frogenolle joineth to the quarters of Thong (Tonge) castle in Kent by Sidingbourne (Sittingbourne) and is of a £45 rent by year..” This does show a level of administration within the Manor but little more. Hasted is more useful. He tells us that the Frognal moat marked a boundary of the nearby Milton Manor, which means that the moat was a major feature for a considerable time before the time of Hasted's work. ...

Edward Hope was Mayor of Devizes in 1624. His son Edward was Mayor in 1654, and again in 1661; and Richard held the office in 1706, 1716, and 1721.
Edward Hope is mentioned in the return of the Lord-Lieutenant of Wilts to the Council of James II, 1687, as "a very honest and fitt person to serve his Majty." Further on he is spoken of as a Dissenter, and "fitt to be a Deputy-Lieutenant and Justice of The Peace;" and again, in the King's Agents' report to his Majesty, it is said that "Sir John Eyles (also a Dissenter), and Edwd Hope are both right (i.e., in favour of the repeal of the Test and Penal Statutes), and that they would undoubtedly be chosen as members of Parliament."--Vide "Rawlinson MSS." in the Bodleian Library.

Ordinary's Account, 23rd November 1757. Reference Number: OA17571123
THE ORDINARY of NEWGATE'S ACCOUNT of the Behaviour, Confession, and Dying Words, Of the NINE MALEFACTORS, Who were executed at TYBURN, On WEDNESDAY the 23November1757; and on FRIDAY the 31March1758, BEING THE First and Second EXECUTIONS in the Mayoralty OF THE Rt. Hon. Sir CHARLES ASGIL, Knt. LORD-MAYOR of the CITY of LONDON.
?
On Thursday, March 23, the report of 11 other malefactors was made to his majesty, when eight were ordered for execution on Friday 31st of March, viz. William Green, Jeremiah Bailey, Joseph Wood, Joseph Wheely, Alice Davis, Samuel Ong, John Davis, John Allen, who were executed according to their sentence. Richard Benham for sheep steeling, Elizabeth Allen for a felony, and Edward Humphrys for a burglary were respited, and also Elizabeth Tomkinson and Margaret Larney being found pregnant by a jury of matrons, on the day of sentence being past.
...3. Jeremiah Bailey was indicted for that he, on the king's highway, on Ann Roystan widow , did make an assault, putting her in corporal sear and danger of her life, and taking from her person, one serge gown, value five shillings, six linnen aprons, five linen-caps, value two-shillings, one ivory comb, two ribbands, two ounces of worsted, two pair of worsted stockings, two pounds weight of sugar, one quarter of a pound of tea, one half pound of butter, two linen handkerchiefs, one half guinea, and eight shillings in money number'd, her property, 18November.
On the trial the fact was proved very strong against him, so far as the evidence of Ann Royston can go; confirmed by the circumstance of William Weaver coming up to her immediately after the fact, on hearing a woman's voice, and finding her stamping and crying; and that she told him the matter, as deposed in court, describing the man, but naming no name: Confirmed also by the evidence of Thomas Stanley, who gave the prosecutrix a good character, she being nurse to his wife, and had left his house that evening with the money and goods of which she was robb'd; that he has known the prisoner about ten years, that within two months past,....He was born at Ashwell in Hertfordshire; but has lived about Edmonton for twelve years past: he lived partly by labouring work , and partly by higling , was wholly illiterate, and being deafish it was no easy matter to instruct him, and bring him to a right disposition....
In the account of Jeremiah Bailey, it was omitted to be mentioned, that after evening service on Easter-day he desired to speak with me, and said, he had endeavoured to make his peace with God to the best of his power, and forgave all the world, as he hoped on be forgiven; (particularly his prosecutrix, which he found very difficult, and could not do before) but declared solemnly, as he was a dying man, he was innocent of the fact for which he was to suffer; and begged earnestly that all juries might be warned against rashly finding persons guilty who may be innocent: he repeated the same request to mr. Akerman before he was carried out to execution, and begged the caution should be given to courts and juries. He had often been told that great caution was used by them in taking evidence and detecting false witnesses, that the ought to have produced his witnesses in his defence, Etc. And being again pressed to a confession, if guilty; he answered do you think I could stand out in a lie after all the good words I have heard? He was resigned, and expressed a lively hope of his salvation....
The hurry and surprize, occasion'd by Wood's death (for he died about 8 o'clock) and Wheely's hiding himself, delay'd their setting out 'till half an hour past the appointed time, which was 9 o'clock, when they were carried out: Six in two carts, viz. William Green; Jeremiah Bailey and Joseph Wheeley in the first; in the second, Samuel Ong, John Davis, and John Allen; and on the sledge Alice Davis, and the body of Joseph Wood.
At the place of execution, they were again ask'd singly, if they had any thing particular to say, or farther confession to make Bailey still asserted his entire innocence of the fact for which he died, as he had done ever since his sentence, he repeated his request, that jurries might be warned from him, to be very careful. what evidence they believed. for as he often said, " Other poor men may be in my case."...
After this, poor Bailey, made his, last request, that as he was friendless the Ordinary would take care to have him buried, which by help of a small contribution made for that purpose by the humane and compassionate beholders, was carefully performed.

Katherine Wright's husband, Sir James Harrington, was one of the King's judges, and it amused Pepys to see the screen which he put up in the hall at Swakeleys, over which he had set, "the King's head and my lord of Essex on one side and Fairfax on the other; and upon the other side of the screene, the parson of the parish and the lord of the manor and his sisters." (fn. 58) ... Whether the lord of the manor was Harrington himself, or Richard Shoreditch the lord of Ickenham, Pepys does not say. At the Restoration Sir James Harrington fled the country (fn. 60) and the following letter written to his wife from abroad sufficiently describes his adversities :
"My Deare,
I am surprised by thy last letter but, however, God and the Kinges will be done for to both of them I doe freely submitt myselfe, but for mee to make any proposition is not proper because it is not in my power to performe, for such is my condition as till my estate be cleared I am not able to raise any monnies because I can propound nothinge for security thereoff: But that my noble Lord Latherdale (to whose favours I am soe exceedingly obliged though I haue for [for] the reason aboue said bin necessitated to be hetherto thereoff neglectiue) may clearly understand my condition & accordingly know how to represent it to his maiesty, I haue here expressed the particular of my estate and debts, which pray thee present (with my humble service to his Lordshipe) with this assurance that if upon the dilligentest [search] enquiry can be made they be not found to be really true, then let mee not find any favour, and if truthe, as for such I here assert them, I humbly spreade my sad condition therein before his maiesty for his gracious mercy and compassion towards an antient family and numerous issue; for praying God for a blessinge on the endeavours and for his Maiesties temporall and eternal hapinesse I remaine Thy most affectionat husband James Harington. (fn. 61)
This 19th of March, 1660 (New Style 1661).
Endorsed :-For his Louing wife [att] The Lady Harington at her Lodginge in Fleet Street, these.
In the accompanying particulars of his property Sir James states : "I have a house besides (during my wifes life) in Ickenham called Swakely with landes wourth per annu 260L. which after her death goeth to my eldest son and his children if he have any and soe to others in remaindre and is out of my power and disposall." Harrington's debts amounted to £8,113, on which he had to pay annual interest of £486 out of an income of £770, leaving (besides Swakeleys) only £284 "for the maintenance of my family and to make provision for my wife and 12 children vnpouided for."
There is attached to Ickenham Church, at the west end of the north aisle, a mortuary chapel, curiously built with upright arched niches for coffins, and erected in the latter part of the 17th century for interments from Swakeleys House. The coffins were removed and buried in the churchyard in 1921, and the chapel is now used as a vestry. Some inscription plates remain, and the first of these in date commemorates Sir Edward Harrington, Bt., the father of Sir James.

Sir James must have lived at Highgate some years before he bought the house, since he had a son, Henry, baptised at Highgate Chapel in 1640, and a daughter, Martha,in 1642, and he had a lease of the house which he assigned to his sister, Lucy Harrington, in 1653.

In response to your Iwardby query, you may wish to consult the book, Fitznells Cartulary, edited by C.A.F. Meekings and Philip Shearman, published in 1968 as Surrey Record Society, Vol. 26. On pages cx-cxxiv of that book is a good account of the Iwardby family.
According to Meekings and Shearman, Sir John Iwardby, of Fitznells, Surrey (died 1525), married (1st) Katherine Neville (died prior to 1476); (2nd) before 1485 Sanche Carewe, daughter and co-heiress of> Nicholas Carew, of Carshalton, Surrey; and (3rd) Jane, daughter of John Agmondesham, of Leatherhead. Sir John Iwardby was the father of one son, John, by his 1st marriage, who died in infancy; and, by his 2nd marriage, he had one daughter, Jane (wife of John St. John and Nicholas Saunder). Jane Iwardby inherited her father's manor at Fitznells.
Very interesting. We have a conflict between the descent in the Fitznells Cartulary and the descent recorded in the window of Mapledurham church, Oxon. Perhaps the trouble is that there were so
many John Iwardbys? I have numbered the from 1 to 4 for later discussion:

Sir Nicholas Carew.
....Sir Nicholas Carew, at an early age, was introduced to the court of Henry the Eighth, where he soon became a favourite, and was made one of the gentlemen of the privy chamber.. .His majesty....removed him from his person, and sentenced him to an honourable banishment, appointing him governor of Ruysbank, in Picardy; to which government he was forthwith commanded to repair, much against his inclination. This little offence, however, was soon past over, ... and as a more substantial mark of his favour, the king appointed him master of the horse, an office of great honour,... and afterwards created him knight of the garter (fn. 31)...in the year 1539, he engaged in a conspiracy, as we are told by our historians (fn. 32), with the marquis of Exeter, the lord Montacute, and Sir Edward Neville;... the trial was summary, and the conspirators were all executed. Sir Nicholas Carew was beheaded on Tower-Hill, the 3d of March 1539; when he made, says Holinshed, "a godly confession, both of his fault and superstitious faith."
.... Sir Nicholas Carew was buried in the church of St. Botolph, Aldersgate, ... A small monument to their memory, supported by Corinthian columns, was preserved when the church was rebuilt, and is placed against the west wall of the porch. The inscription merely enumerates the persons interred there, amongst whom are Sir Nicholas Carew, K.G. his wife Elizabeth, his daughter Mary, and her husband Sir Arthur Darcy. The arms and quarterings of the Darcys and Carews are almost obliterated with white paint, which has disfigured the whole monument.

Sir Ralph Ryther married, secondly, Maud Percy, the daughter of Henry Percy, Earl of Northumberland, and by her had a son, Henry, and a daughter, Elizabeth. His status as a powerful member of the Yorkshire gentry was confirmed by the marriages he arranged for his children. His elder son, Robert (d.1508?), was contracted to marry Elizabeth, the daughter of Sir William Gascoigne of Gawthorpe and his wife Alice Frognell. They were children, and the marriage terminated with the death of young Robert Ryther, probably around 1508 or so. Little Elizabeth Gascoigne was then married (by 1510) to Robert Redman (d.1545), the son and heir of Edward Redman, who shared the lordship of Harewood Castle with Sir Ralph Ryther. The younger son, Thomas Ryther, then became his father's heir and a marriage was arranged for him by marriage settlement dated 2 April 1510 with Agnes, one of the younger sisters of Henry, 7th Lord Scrope of Bolton. | Ryther, Robert (I09750)

A brief abstract of the Chancery suit is found online on the Public
Record Office (PROCAT) and it reads as follows:
Henry Danvers v. Richard Pole: Custody of Edward Stradlyng,
complainant's ward, son of John, son of Edmund Stradlyng.: London.
A full transcript of the suit is published in an appendix in the book,
Memorials of the Danvers Family, by F.N. Macnamara, pp. 300-302.
Richard Pole gave the following reply to Henry Danvers' complaint:
"The said Ric. Pole says that Henry Danvers ought not to maintain his
action because the said Edmund Stradlyng was seised of the manor of
Merden in co. Wilts in his demesne as of fee which he held of Thomas
Langford by fealty & the yearly rent of 1 rose. After the death of
the said Edmund the said manor descended to the said Edward as his
kinsman & heir, son of John, son of Edmund, then being a minor, by
virtue whereof Alice Stradlyng his mother took him into her custody,
and she then married the said Richard Pole by pretext whereof they
were possessed of the custody of the body of the said Edward until the
said Henry Danvers took him away. Afterwards the said Richard in
right of his said wife took the said Edward out of the possession of
the said Henry Danvers as it was lawful for him to do."
Richard Pole's answer specifically states that he married Alice, the widow of John Stradling, which Alice was the mother of the minor boy, Edward Stradling. It is uncertain when the marriage between Richard and Alice took place. However, we know from other evidence that Alice's 1st husband, John Stradling, died in 1471, and that she and Richard Pole were married sometime before Richard Pole abducted her son, Edward Stradling, from Henry Danvers in 1473.
The second piece of evidence in this matter consists of Richard Pole's acquistion of the wardship and marriage of his step-son, Edward Stradling, which were granted to him by King Richard III on 11 July 1484 [Reference: Macnamara, pg. 242, footnote, citing Harleian MS.433, pp. 181]. Here the identity of Richard Pole is made plain as he is styled "one of the squires of the King's body" in this grant.

Sir Thomas Blount was the ancestor of "that branch (of the Blounts) which was settled first at Iver, in Buckinghamshire, and afterwards at Maple-Durham, in Oxfordshire:where it still subsists(1823) in opulence and respectability" (Alexandeer Croke, Genealogical History of the Croke Family, Originally named Le Blount(2 Vols. Oxford, 1823, 2:254)
Sir Thomas was the younger brother of Walter Blount, first Lord Mountjoy (d. 1474). By his first wife Agnes, daughter of Sir John Hawley, Sir Thomas had Robert and Elizabeth (wife of Richard Hansard, Esq.) and also (though Croke doesn't name her) Ann, wife of Robert Marbury, which marriage is demonstrated by Meredith Colket's _The English Ancestry of Anne Marbury Hutchinson and Katherine Marbury Scott_(Philadelphia, 1936).

Sir Thomas Danvers, the eldest son of Sir John, married Margaret, youngest daughter of Sir William Courtenay, of Powderham Castle, Devon, and his wife Cicely, the daughter of Sir John Cheney, of Pincourt. In the Patent Koll of 8 Henry VIH. Thomas Danvers is called of Powderham, Devon, and is pardoned for having in self defence killed one James Leore. Thomas died in the year 1532 (24 Henry VHI.). His post-mortem inquisition f taken at Lostwithyell in Cornwall states that his son and heir, Sylvester, was 13 years, 41 weeks, and 2 days old at the time of his father's death. The inquisition refers to a deed of settlement between Sir William Courtenay and Sir John Danvers and his wife Ann, of 2 Henry VIII. , which settled upon the heirs of Thomas Danvers and his wife Margaret the manors of Bevamye, Stratton, Swancottes, St. Mary Wyke, St. Clare Coleshill, Liskerd
Coleshill, and Wykeborough.*
Besides his son Sylvester, Thomas left two daughters, Constance and Ann. Constance is mentioned in her grandmother's will.
Silvester Danvers was the only son of Thomas Danvers and Margaret Courtenay, and was born in the year 1518. His grandmother, Dame Anne, outlived her eldest son, and Silvester became her heir when she died, in the year 1539, succeeding her in the Wiltshire and other estates, excepting those which had been specially devised to the uncles, William and John Danvers. In the year 1537 Silvester married Elizabeth, second daughter of Sir John Mordaunt, first Baron Mordaunt of Turvey. By this his first wife Silvester Danvers had three sons, John, Henry, and Anthony, and three daughters, Anne, Ursula, and Elizabeth. They are all mentioned in his will (Powell, 14). Silvester's second wife was Elizabeth, daughter of William Eede, of Milton, by whom he had a son, Giles, whose birth he seems to have been expecting when he made his will in July, 1549 (proved in 1552). He is mentioned as the son of Silvester Danvers in Harleian Eoll, p. 5, and we find him taking part in the management of the Dauntsej^ estates. Silvester's post-mortem mquisition is No. 88 of 5 Edward VI., part ii. His heir is his son, John, aged eleven at the time of his father's death...

History of Parliament Onlne:
...He had made his will on 1 Sept. 1515, asking for burial in the chapel which he had prepared in his parish church of St. Bartholomew the Less in London and making generous bequests to the poor. Five years earlier he had set up a use, in favour of himself, his wife and their son, covering his London house, two manors in Middlesex, five in Essex, six in Norfolk and single manors in Cambridgeshire, Hertfordshire and Suffolk; the feoffees were headed by the archbishop of Canterbury and included seven peers and many eminent lawyers. In his will Capell confirmed this settlement and divided his remaining lands, seven widely scattered manors and the reversion to two others, between his son and two grandsons. He died five days after making the will, which was proved six months later by the executors, his wife and son-in-law William Paulet. The manors of Rayne, Essex, bought by Capell in 1486 and settled on his son in 1512, and Little Hadham, Hertfordshire, bought in 1506, remained the family residences throughout the 16th century. His grandson Sir Henry Capell sat for Somerset in the Parliament of 1547.

Sir William Gascoigne 2nd.
Sir William Gascoigne was a Yorkshire knight who was a captain for Sir Henry Percy Earl of Northumberland. He was a son of William Gascoigne and Margaret Percy. May have married secondly Margaret Neville.
Which William?
I see that Leo's message ties in Lucy Fitwilliam (nee Nevill) who m2 Sir Anthony Browne - see my recent message. As per that message, Lucy Browne described her daughter as Gascoign wife of Sir William Gascoign in her will of 20 Aug 1531, in the Will of her brother (that is Elizabeth's brother) William FitzWilliam 10 Sept 1542 she is again called Gascoign wife of Sir William Gascoign, but by 21 April 1547 in the Will of her half brother Sir Anthony Browne she is Elizabeth wife of Nicholas Hervey. Here she was described as sister not half sister of Sir Anthony Browne, but his full sister Elizabeth was than married to Hugh Somerset 2 Er Worcester (he d 26 Nov 1549), so he must have been referring to his half sister. Note that in Burkes extinct peerage Elizabeth Fitzwilliam is shown as m1 Sir Thomas Mauleverer and m2 Sir Nicholas Hervey (who he survived). No mention of Gascoign See Burke's Extinct Peerage (1883) page 277.
During the period 1450 to 1490 there were three Gascoignes, a father(I), son(II) and grandson(III). It was a family tradition to call the first-born son William... extensive lands in West Yorkshire and lived at Gawthorpe Hall, ... At this time, the Gascoignes relocated to Lotherton Hall, a few miles down the road from Towton. In the grounds of Harewood House is a church containing the tombs of Sir William (I) and Sir William (III). Sir William (I)'s grandfather's tomb is also here - a famous judge of his time. ...
Sir William was born c.1469 (aged 18 and more in November 1487), and died 20 October 1551, at the advanced age of 82! .... But did he live that long? Confusingly, there appears to be two wills for this same Sir William: the first, dated 14 October 1528, is printed in Knaresborough Wills Vol. 1 (Sur. Soc. 104, 1902), and the second, dated 28 January 1546, was proved 23 March 1552, and printed in Testamenta Eboracensia VI. The problem is, though the first will is clearly that of the above Sir William, as he mentions younger sons Marmaduke Gascoigne and John Gascoigne, the second will only mentions wife Dame Bridget, and no other family members, and makes no mention of superceding any previous will...
