Which women is mother to the children?
History books appear to incorrectly list Jane Sherley as the wife of Sir Richard Lyster, rather than correctly stating sister Isabell Sherley. July 1533 Patent Rolls grants. 929 (36):" Francis Dawtry. Livery of the lands as son and heir of Sir John Dawtry, including all reversions that should fall to the King on the death of dame Isabella, late wife of the said John and now wife of Sir Richard Lyster, chief baron of the Exchequer..."
May have died on: 07 Jul 1533 but memorial at Sussex dated to 1542.
Not mentioned in will of husband 1554.
Who's Who of Tudor Women:
ISABEL SHIRLEY (d. July 1533+)
Isabel Shirley was one of the daughters of Sir Ralph Shirley of Wiston/Westmeston, Sussex (1433-1510) and Jane Bellingham. She married first, on January 17, 1508, Sir John Dawtrey of Southampton (c.1433-November 24, 1518) and had a son, Francis (1510-July 1533+). A record of July 1533 identifies Francis as the son of Sir John Dawtry and Isabella, "now wife of Sir Richard Lyster." Sir Richard’s wife is often misidentified as Jane Shirley, largely because Isabel’s sister also married a man named Sir John Dawtrey. This second Sir John was of Petworth and Moor House, Sussex and did not die until September 21, 1542. Isabel’s second husband, Sir Richard Lister or Lyster (c.1480-March 16, 1553), was a chief justice of the king’s bench. The Oxford DNB says their children were Richard and Charles and possibly Elizabeth (1520-1572), but calls Lyster’s son Michael (d.1551) the child of his second wife, Elizabeth Stoke (d.1567+). This is not possible. Michael was already married to his first wife in 1529. My best guess is that Isabel was Lyster’s second of three wives and that Elizabeth Stoke was his third wife. Portrait: Isabel is the most likely possibility to be the subject of the Holbein sketch labeled "Lady Lister" and dated c.1532-1543. An alternative is Michael Lyster’s second wife, Margery Horsman.
