Daughter of Franics Meriwether and Grace Axford??
Market Lavington:
Mr John Axford parish of All Saints Bristol, and Mrs. Jane Merewether of Easterton, by licence 24.04.1746.
Is this John from Devizes??
Warren,
Notice you are researching the Wise Family from West Lavington in Wiltshire and I have an ancestor John Axford (known as John the Elder) who married an Elizabeth Wise in Feb 1759. It was a 2nd marriage for John, his 1st wife was Jane Merewether of Market Lavington (Easterton) in 1746 (she was b 1715 dau of Grace Axford & Francis Merewether). Jane died 1758 and John then married Elizabeth Wise.
Elizabeth Wise on the Sarum Marriage Licence Bond is described as a widow of Chitterne St Mary Wiltshire, John Axford is described as "gent" residing at Urchfont (Eastcott) Wiltshire. The bondsman was Francis Merewether, gent, Allington Wilts.
My question to you is, do you have any idea what Elizabeth's maiden name was and who was her first husband?
John Axford was born 1722 and one would assume Elizabeth and her first husband would have been born around that time also.
John & Elizabeth's grandson, Thomas Axford b in Urchfont 1788, arrived in Australia 1822 and he is my ggg grandfather.
Hope you can help, thanks, Pat

Rokeshawe,f S.T.P., to comm. adm. to Agnes, the widow.]
The will of the testator's grandfather is in Test. Ebor. ii. 169-70. The administration of his grandmother, Lady Isabel Clifton, of Clifton, was granted on October 8, 1467, to John Clifton of Clifton, esq., her son. (Reg. Test. iv. 246 a.)
His father, Sir Robert Clifton, knt., made his will April 1, 1478, desiring to be buried in the church of Clifton, in the chapel of the Holy Trinity, near the tomb of his wife. The residue is left to Gervase, his son. He, Oliver Blackewall, rector of Blarton, and Thomas Orston, are executors. [Pr. June 30, and ad- ministration to Gervase Clifton.] (Reg. Test. v. 124 a.) He died on April 9.
In 1456 the testator Sir Gervase married Alice, daughter of Thomas Neville, esq., and widow of Richard Thurland of Nottingham. (Test. Ebor. iii. 334.) In 1483 he married another widow, Agnes, widow of Sir Walter Griffith. (Ibid. 347.) Her will occurs afterwards. (See Test. Ebor. iii. 269.) Sir Gervase left many children, and was a worthy representative of his illustrious family. He died at the Friars Preachers, London, May 12th, 1491, and was interred at Clifton. (Thoroton, 571.) He was esquire of the body to Edward IV., and Knight of the Bath.
Robert Clifton, brother of Sir Gervase, was archdeacon of the East Riding. On May 3rd, 1454, he was collated to the stall of North Muskham at Southwell, on the resignation of Robert his father, as proctor of Gervase his brother. (Reg. Win. Booth, 31 &.) A nice specimen of archbishop Booth's nepotism ! (Gervase Clifton was collated to it Nov. 4, 1453. Hid. 31 a. He was the testator, and in no orders whatever.) On May 28, 1463, Robert Clifton was collated to the pre- bend at St. Michael's altar at Beverley (Reg. Wm. Booth, 56.); and, on March 13, 1463-4, his uncle collated him to the archdeaconry of the East Riding. (Ibid. 58<7.) At this time he was only an acolyte, and on Sept. 12, 1464, he had leave to proceed to the higher orders. (Ibid. 2236.) The archdeacon died young and intestate. On Aug. 27, 1467, administration to his effects was granted to Robert Hill and William Heseham. (Reg. Test. iv. 238 a.)
"Pray for the soul of Gervase Clyfton Knight son and heir of Robert Clyfton Knight founder of the college of Clyfton completed and firmly established by Sir Gervase who died in the house of the friar preachers in London on May 12th A.D. 1491 whose body by Agnes daughter of Robert Constable of Flamburgh Knight and second wife of the same Gervase and by his other executors according to his wishes was brought hither with honour and seemliness and interred beneath this marble stone here on whose soul may God have mercy; for the prosperity of this Agnes while she lived and for her soul when she departed from this world special memorials and prayers are established to be offered by the Warden and Chaplains of the aforesaid college according to the deed and statutes there laid down as to be faithfully carried out in all future time.”

Descendants of this couple include the Earls Spencer and the later Dukes of Devonshire and Earls of Carlisle through the fabulous Georgiana Duchess of Devonshire (1757-1806). Through her illegitimate daughter Eliza Courtney, her daughter by Earl Grey she is ancestor of Sarah Ferguson Duchess of York, mother of Princess Beatrice. The Howards of Castle Howard are also descendants of Georgiana's and owners of the area the Greystock estate at Henderskelfe. So Beatrice Hatcliffe may not have had Henderskelfe for her children but the lands eventually came to her descendants through the daughter and kidnapped bridegroom.
1.3 Elizabeth Constable, in Will of brother's Marmaduke Constable and Robert Constable of Hotham, also in the will of William Grimston, who married her niece. It seems that she married a man called Dryland and had issue. She was the Elizabeth Dryland of Hotham who made a Will on the 28th November 1569 which was proved on the 19 April 1570 at York. Her mother had made provision for her to become a nun, but she had decided otherwise, a wise decision for someone who was to live through the 'Dissolution of the monasteries'.
1.4 Robert Constable of Hotham, Will 25 May 1564 and proved 23 Mar 1564/5. Married to Margaret Langthorne, a widow, who died in 1570 at North Cave, they had no issue. He named many in his family including Agnes Constable wife to Etherington, his great-niece, who it seems he was alienated from over the inheritance of his late great-niece Elizabeth Constable - see below.
1.5 Ann Constable, Not mentioned in the Will of Robert Constable, 25 May 1564.
1.6 Jane Constable. Wife of Thomas Rokeby of Morthem in Richmond. Alive 25 May 1564 when her brother Robert's Will was made. Their younger son Thomas inherited Hotham land from uncle Robert Constable and lived until 1590, married and had children, and left a Will.
1.7 William Constable. Not mentioned in any other family document.

Who's Who of Tudor Women:
CATHERINE GORDON (c.1474-October 1537)
Lady Catherine Gordon was the daughter of George Gordon, 2nd earl of Huntley (d.1502) by his third wife, Elizabeth Hay. .... Lady Catherine was, however, married to Perkin Warbeck (x.1499) by command of James IV of Scotland as part of the attempt to overthrow Henry VII. ... She was placed in Elizabeth of York’s household, where she became a favored lady-in-waiting. She was an honored guest at the wedding of Margaret Tudor to King James in 1503, and when Henry VIII became king she received several grants of land in Berkshire. She is probably the "Lady Katherine" who received a reward of £40 in July 1509 and definitely the "Lady Kath. Gourdon" paid a half year's wages of £33 6s. 8d. in June 1510, indicating that she was one of Catherine of Aragon's ladies in 1509-1510. In 1510 she married James Strangeways (c.1470-1516), a gentleman usher of the king’s chamber. In his will, written on November 30, 1516, he left most of his estate to his "dear beloved wife." After Strangeways’s death she married Matthew Craddock (d.1531), a Welshman. According to David Loades's biography of Mary Tudor, Catherine Gordon was head of the princess's privy chamber until around 1530. Her last husband was Christopher Ashton or Assheton (1493-1557+), a gentleman of the bedchamber. .. If she had any children by any of her husbands, their names and fates have not been preserved. She was buried at Fyfield, Berkshire. A tomb with her effigy was also erected in the church at Swansea.

In a Court Roll of 1545 (5M53/932) the Court Minutes the Manor of Husseys is listed with many others in a marriage settlement between Mary Wriothesley and Sir Richard Lyster, Chief Baron of the King’s Exchequer who held this manor for a further ten years when on the 21st. day of December in the second and third years of the reigns of the late King and Queen (Philip and Mary, 1555), he sold Husseys to John Gifford of Northall (Northolt) in the County of Middlesex.
The Earl of Southampton seems to have had his full pardon by that time. His mother had long been failing and was now very ill; she lived over six months after.

Her household stuff was to go in the same way. She left liberal shares of her cattle and sheep to her son-in-law, Cornwallys, and his wife Katharine, the rest to her son. Certain leases were left directly to her grandson, failing whom to his sister Mary. Her own daughter, Mabel, was to have for life Longlands and Gravelpits, lately parcel of the possessions of the monastery of Clerkenwell, after her to Robert Cornwallys, her daughter's son.

Her son Henry to be sole executor; overseers, Mr Justice Manwood and Mr Baver of Lincoln's Inn, who are to have .10 a year for their trouble.
Her son buried her at Titchfield, but I have found no account of the proceedings. Beyond his legacies, the Earl would step into her jointures and dwelling-houses, and his position in the county would be strengthened. (Her children:)

10" S. III. JUNE 10, 1905. NOTES AND QUERIES
William Shelley's first wife was Mary (not, as Berry, in his 'Sussex Genealogies,' p. 62, says, Margaret), one of the daughters of
Thomas Wriothesley, Earl of Southampton. Machyn, in his 'Diary,' under the year 1561, thus refers to her funeral :- " The xiij day of Desember was bered at sant Katheryns-chryst chyrche my lade Lyster, sum-tyme the wyff of master Shelley of Sussex, and the dowther of the erle of Sowthamtun late lord chanseler of Engeland -Wresseley, with a harord of armes and a ij dosen of skochyons of armes. "
From: 'Diary: 1561 (July - Dec)', The Diary of Henry Machyn: Citizen and Merchant-Taylor of London (1550-1563) (1848), pp. 262-274. URL: http://www.british-history.ac.uk/report.aspx?compid=45528 Date accessed: 13 February 2011.
What this certainly seems to imply-viz that William Shelley was her first husband, and that she subsequently married Richard Lyster, son of Sir Michael Lyster, and grandson of the Lord Chief Justice of the King's Bench - is definitely asserted in Banks's ' Extinct Baronage of England ' (iii. G72) and 'D.N.B.' (lxiii. 152). However, she bore Richard Lyster a son in 1556 (Berry's 'Hants Genealogies,' p. 240), and so, on the above theory, must have(l) been married to William
Shelley, and (2) had her marriage annulled, and (3) remarried before William Shelley was eighteen, which seems improbable. Can we hold, as Machyn's editor apparently does, that William Shelley was not her first, but her second husband ?
The Wriothesley monument, commemorating the first earl and countess of Southampton, and their son the second earl, was set up in accordance with the will of the latter, proved 7 February, 1582, by which the enormous sum of £1,000 was left for the making of 'two faire monuments' in the 'chapel of the parish church of Tichell, co. Southampton.' The directions for two monuments were however ignored, and one only was made, on which the three alabaster effigies rest. It is a raised rectangular tomb, with projecting pilasters at the angles, which carry tall obelisks; the central part of the tomb is raised some feet above the rest, and on it lies the effigy of Jane countess of Southampton, 1574, that of her husband the first earl, 1551, lying at a lower level on the north, and that of her son the second earl, 1582, in like manner on the south. The whole is of alabaster and marble most elaborately and beautifully worked, carved, and panelled, the inscriptions being on black marble panels at the feet of the three effigies. In the vault beneath are also buried Henry third earl of Southampton and his son James Wriothesley, 1624, and the fourth and last earl, Thomas, 1667.

Page 1. Thomas Wriothesley, earl of Southampton. The first person noticed by our funereal chronicler was one of the most remarkable men of his age: one who had attained the summit of the law, and who was aspiring to the summit of the state. The historian Carte attributes his death to mortified ambition, and so does Lord Campbell in his recent Lives of the Chancellors: on this part of his history see the Archæologia, vol. xxx. p. 468.
It should be remarked that, though the body of the earl of Southampton was at first buried in Saint Andrew's Holborn, it was afterwards removed to Tichfield in Hampshire, where a sumptuous monument with his effigy still exists. There is a fine portrait of him in Chamberlain's Holbein Heads.
