Hugh Partridge, gentleman, born in the north parts, was granted arms at London 5 February 1549 by Sir Gilbert Dethick, Norroy; namely, Gules, on a fess engrailed plain cotised between three partridge rising or, as many torteaux (or a bezant between two torteaux), and in chief a crescent argent. Hugh Partryge was brother of Sir Miles Partryge, of Almondsbury, co. Gloucester, and of Kew, Surrey, who was attainted of felony and hanged on Tower Hill 26 February 1552; and who had been granted very similar arms by Sir Christopher Barker, Garter. I can find no other contemporary references to a Hugh Partridge, so that these may well refer to the husband of Eleanor Burbage. P.R.O., Early Chancery Proceedings, file 1346/5; The Genealogist, N.S.

I am seeking information on ROGER YORKE, of Wellington, Somerset, and Exeter, Devon, who was a serjeant at law and justice of the peace for Somerset, Devon and Wiltshire. He was active in the 1520's and
1530's. He died in 1536-7. He was married (lst) to ELEANOR LUTTRELL, daughter of Sir Hugh Luttrell, of Dunster, Somerset, by his first wife, Margaret Hill. They had four children. He was married (2nd) before 1532, to Margaret _____, widow of Anthony Erneley and Henry Milborne, Esq., of Laverstock, Wiltshire. They had no children.
Does anyone know anything about either Roger York or his wife, Eleanor Luttrell's family? All for now. Derrick Smith.

I have the PRO marriage settlement document for Katherine Neville and John Iwardby. It is dated 5 September 1467, so a slight adjustment of her death date seems needed."
Henry, when you get a chance, if the document is not too long, can you transcribe the 1467 marriage contract of John Iwardby and Katherine Nevill? I think it'll be very helpul in determining several things. 1) If John Iwardby the groom was the son or the grandson of John Iwardby, widower of Katherine Missenden. Was the groom's father alive in 1467?
2) The ages of the bride & groom. Edward Nevill, Lord Abergavenny, died in 1476, and Katherine his daughter was from his first marriage, so she was over 20 years old in 1467, if I calculated correctly. Was the groom about the same age?
3) A clue as to how on earth this marriage happened at all. The groom John Iwardby was a) not a knight, and the son of another John Iwardby, who was also apparently not a knight; b) either a younger son or the son of a younger son, so no inheritance prospects from the Iwardbys;
c) not the heir to his mother Jane Annesley, as she had a son from her first marriage, so no inheritance prospects from her end. How did this man land a wife in 1467 whose father was the lord of Abergavenny, a powerful Welsh barony, whose mother was the sole heiress of the Earl of Worcester, and whose first cousin was the King of England? (One of dozens of first cousins, true, though she was closer to Edward IV in age than many of the others.) It's impressive social climbing!
Cheers, ----Brad
Found it. Rather than a marriage settlement, but a writ before the King's Court regarding the marriage terms which had not been met:
"To the right reverent Fader in god the Bisshop of Bath & welles chancellar of England Specialy besechit your good Lordship Edward Nevil Lorde Abergavenny That Where John Iwardeby the elder p(ro)mised on the v day of September in ye vijth yere of the regn of Kyng Edward the iiijth by cause that John Iwardeby Sone of the Said John Wedded Kat'in Nevill my daughtr to paie v hundred marke of lawfull money to the Said Edward at the fest of Eastr then next folowing
under condiscon but if that the Said John Iwardeby the elder make a Simr Estat of the xlte of liveloid to the Said John his Sone & Kat'in my daughtr & to the heirres of their two bodys lawfully
be goton wthin xij month aftr the said day of promys of the Which promys of the Said John
iwardeby the elder nethw? the said condiscon not kept nethw? p(re)ferind? contr.. to al rigth trougth? & conaend? Where of the forsaid Edwarde hath noe remedy
by the comyn lawe Wherefor he besechit you to grant a writt Sub pena to be dyrectd to ye forsaid John Iwardeby the elder co(m)mandyng hym by the Same to attend a fore the Kyng in his chancery? under a paiyn & a day by your lordship ly..mited and the Said Edward shall prey for your Estat
Willing Stampe a lord yoman
Pley a p(re)d
Thomas Shancwel a lord yoman"
As best I can make out, Edward Nevill, Lord Abergavenny, appealed to the Chancellor of England to subpoena John Iwardby 'the elder' to force payment of 500 marks.
Iwardby, as per his end of the marriage contract, was supposed to
provide Lord Abergavenny with 500 marks by the Easter following the wedding. Or, Iwardby the elder should give his son the groom and Katherine the bride 500 marks worth of income within a year of their wedding. He apparently did neither.
From this document we know that John Iwardby the Elder, the father of John Iwardby of Surrey who married Katherine Nevill, was alive not only on 5 Sept. 1467, but also at least a year after that. I don't
know whether this is enough to determine if John Iwardby the Elder was
a) the John Iwardby of Quainton who was married first to Katherine
Missenden and 2nd to Jane Annesley, as Lesley Boatwright stated in her article 'The Buckinghamshire Six at Bosworth'; or b) a son of the former, who was married to Jane Annesley. It seems to favor the
second scenario.
The document doesn't tell us much about the ages of the bride and
groom in 1467. We know Katherine Nevill's mother died in 1448, so she had to have been born by then. If her husband's father was
negotiating marriage terms with her father Lord Abergavenny, instead of her husband himself negotiating with her father, that may mean the younger John Iwardby (the groom) was not of age (21) in 1467? Or it could mean that John the groom did not have the 500 marks without resorting to his father's help.
It's hard to tell how this marriage came to take place, as this plea
to the Chancellor only provides details of one end of the marriage
terms. For instance, what was the marriage portion (if any) that Lord
Abergavenny provided?
It's always dangerous to over-speculate with little evidence, but the
bride being in her very late teens/early 20s at the 1467 marriage, the
fact that John Iwardby the Elder seemed to be paying the 500 marks
after the event ("that by cause that John Iwardeby Sone of the Said
John Wedded Kat'in Nevill my daughtr"), and that the Iwardbys didn't seem to have the money - suggest that the marriage was not one Lord Abergavenny arranged. It may have been one Katherine chose on her own.
John and Katherine Iwardby held Sutton and Burgh in Norfolk out of the Neville estates:
>
C 1/41/277
> John Ewarby and Kateryn his wife, daughter of Edward Nevill, lord
> Abergavenny. v. John Coket: Jointure out of the manors of Sutton and Berugh.: Norfolk.
Thanks, Henry. Makes my theory all wet. Still don't see what Lord
Abergavenny got out of this marriage - the advantage seems all on the IIwardbys.

ANNE GRESHAM (c.1549-1594)
Anne Gresham was the illegitimate daughter of Sir Thomas Gresham (c.1518-November 21, 1579). There are contradictory stories about her origins, although everyone agrees that her mother was married off to Thomas Dutton, Gresham’s factor in Antwerp and Hamburg, since Gresham himself was already married to Anne Fernley (1521-November 23, 1596). Gresham lived primarily in Anthwerp until 1551 and did not leave there for good until March 1567. Some accounts have Anne raised by her father and his wife. Others say she grew up in the Dutton household. No one is clear about her mother’s identity except that she was a servant, possibly a “Netherlander,” in Gresham’s household. Her name is given as Anne in some accounts, Winifred in others, and simply “Mistress Dutton” in others. Like Gresham, Dutton lived mostly abroad during Anne’s childhood, but he did have a house at Isleworth, on or near Gresham’s estate at Osterley. Diarmaid MacCulloch, in his essay “A First Stirring of Suffolk Architecture” in East Anglia’s History, says that Sir Nathaniel Bacon (c.1546-November 1622) fell in love with Anne Gresham and that by late July 1569 she had been naturalized, they’d been issued a special license to marry without banns, and had married. Other sources, however, give the date of their marriage as June 29, 1569. Lisa Jardine and Alan Stewart in Hostage to Fortune: The Troubled Life of Francis Bacon say that Nathaniel then sent his bride to his stepmother, Anne Cooke Bacon, to be schooled with Nathaniel’s half brothers, Anthony and Francis Bacon, at Gorhambury. The book gives documentary evidence for this. Nathaniel certainly had occasion to meet Anne Gresham. His mother, Jane Fernley (d. 1552), and Thomas Gresham’s wife were sisters. By Nathaniel Bacon, Anne was the mother of Anne (1573-1622), Elizabeth (c.1575-1632), Nicholas (d. yng), and Winifred (1578-1614+). Her sudden death shortly after her eldest daughter Anne’s marriage to John Townshend in December 1593 created problems over the marriage settlement, since it was likely the widower would remarry. Should he then have a son, Anne Bacon Townshend would lose most of her rich inheritance.

The Late Mr Richard Cooke
As a means of affording the many town friends of the late Mr. Richard Cooke an opportunity of expressing their sympathy with the members of his family a resident in this and other places, a service of somewhat special character was conducted last evening in the Baptist Church by the Minister, Rev. A.G. Weller. The musical portion of the service was appropriate to the occassion - favourite hymns being chosen. The preacher selected his text from John 17,24. After an interesting exposition Mr Weller concluded his sermon by saying - Surely no words that he could utter could be more expressive to the last desire and prayer of their late friend Mr Cooke, than the words of the Master concerning his dearest friends.
As a father, friend and neighbour the memory of the deceased would be long cherished for the consistency and concentrated service both at home and abroad. He (Mr Cooke) might be counted amongst the founders of this rising nation. Leaving his home in Ireland during the ever memorable potato famine early in 1848, he arrived a few months later in Sydney, where for a number of years he resided. Eventually he came to Queensland and took up one of the first selections in the Goombungee district, where he made his home and remained till the time of his death. As a public man he was ever to the fore in anything that made for comfort of his fellows or welfare of the community in which he lived. It was largely due to his untiring energy that the State schools at Bergin, Goombungee and Dr. Creek owe their existence. Whilst he was also an earnest advocate for the extension of the railway from Meringindan to Goombunge. As an employer he was respected by those who served under him and highly esteemed by many for his profound reverence for the sanctuary of the Sabbath. Upon his shelves were arranged some of the choicest books, but to his mind the Bible was the God of books.
In the home he was methodical to the smallest detail. He was fondly attached to his own family. He loved his home and it was pleasing to remember that his last wish was gratified, namely to die at home for at the dawn of Sabbath morning, June 3rd, 1900 the spirit of Richard Cooke entered into rest.
June 9th, 1900 Death Notices:
Cooke-Richard Cooke, at his residence "Mossdale", Goombungee, on June 3rd aged 73 years and 6 months. Deeply regretted.

In 1433 it was settled on Ralph and Eleanor for life and then on their son William, who probably died soon afterwards, and on his wife Joan, daughter of Sir Thomas Brooke. (fn. 51) In 1439 the reversion after Ralph's death was settled on John Hody, possibly in trust for John Carent (d. 1483), Joan Brooke's second husband.The manor appears to have been held by the Carent family in 1518 (fn. 52) and in 1538 was settledon Sir William Carent who, with his younger son Leonard, sold it to James Downham in 1558.

In 1452 Lady Margaret Beaufort, the nine-year-old daughter of the Duke of Somerset was summoned to the court of her second cousin, King Henry and, on 1 November 1455, married to Edmund. She had been, after Somerset's fall, the ward of himself and his brother Jasper conjointly. She was twelve years old at the time of the marriage and became pregnant in the following year.
However, the Wars of the Roses had begun and Edmund a Lancastrian was captured by Yorkist partisan William Herbert in mid-1456. Herbert imprisoned him at Carmarthen Castle in south Wales where he died of the plague on 3 November 1456, and was buried in the Grey Friars there. His elegy was written by Lewis Glyn Cothi. His remains were, at the dissolution of the monasteries in 1539. removed to the choir of St. David's Cathedral.
Edmund's only child, the future Henry VII, was born at Pembroke Castle, almost three months after his death.

In 1490 Thomas Bellingham of Lyminster died holding what was described as a moiety of Erringham manor, which he had settled (fn. 43) apparently on his second son, Edward Bellingham of Erringham. (fn. 44) Edward's son John died in 1540 holding Erringham Walkstead manor, which was occcupied thereafter by his widow Joan and her second husband James Gage. John Bellingham's son John (fn. 45) died in 1577 as lord of Erringham Walkstead and Erringham Bruce, and also of a smaller estate in Old Shoreham called Walkstead and held of William West, Lord de la Warr. He left a son John, a minor, and a widow Anne on whom one of the manors had been settled and who later married Thomas Lewknor. (fn. 46)

In 1494 Richard Beauchamp, Lord St. Amand, his wife Anne, and Sir Roger Tocotes were licensed to assign lands in Avebury to the chaplain of Bromham. (fn. 213) Rents due to the lord of Avebury were extinguished under Edward VI when both manor and chantry were held by the Crown. (fn. 214) The possessions of the chantry were granted to Edward Carey in 1564 (fn. 215) and in 1582 the lands in Avebury, Rowses farm, were held by John Shuter. (fn. 216) Shuter (d. 1591) devised the farm to his grandson John Shuter, who sold it to John Goldsmith after 1611. (fn. 217) Goldsmith (d. 1640) devised Rowses to his son Thomas. (fn. 218) The later history of the estate is not clear but it may have been that held in 1780 by one Warner, in 1783 by William Crook, (fn. 219) and in 1813 by R. Crook, possibly William's son. Crook sold the estate to James Kemm in 1843.

In 1639 the Chilham Castle estate passed to Thomas Digges (Sir Dudley's eldest son) who married Mary, daughter of Sir Maurice Abbott. Of Sir Dudley's character we know plenty, but, of his son, we have only a contemporary description as “a melancholy cracked man”. In 1687 Thomas bequeathed the estate to his only surviving son, Leonard Digges, who married Elizabeth Mary, daughter of Sir John Osbourne of Chicksand, Bedfordshire....

In a publication by the London Brass Rubbing Centre, entitled, "Brasses--Historical Notes....", the following describes this trophy (The Gunter Brass):
This is a beautiful example of a 'Carolean' brass, designed at a time when brasses were passing out of fashion and when brass engravers had become skilled in producing the finely cut details more normally seen on printing plates. John Gunter was buried at Kintbury at Greencester. However, at both churches there are brasses to both John and Alice. John died in 1624, aged 89 and Alice died in 1626, aged 86, a surprising life-span for that time....
John GUNTER, Gentleman was born in 1535 in Kintbury, England. He died on 2 Jan 1624 in Kintbury, England. He was married to Alice Keeblewhite before 1561 in England. .. John was an upper middle class and highly influential wool merchant in Kintbury. He had a memorial Brass 24" x 42" in the church at Kintbury and an identical one for Alice in the cathedral at Cirencester where she was buried.
Alice KEEBLEWHITE was born in 1540 in Beckshire, England. She died on 18 Mar 1625/26 in Cirencester, England. Children were:
i. Dorothy GUNTER was born on 15 Mar 1560/61.

In previous posts here on the newsgroup, I presented conclusive
evidence which showed that Sir Richard Pole (died 1504), husband of the ill famed Margaret Plantagenet, Countess of Salisbury, had married (1st) before 28 June 1483 a certain Alice Langford, widow of John Stradling (died 1471), of Dauntsey, Bremilham, and Marden, Wiltshire, and daughter of Edward Langford, of Bradfield, Berkshire.
Sir Richard Pole had no known issue by his marriage to Alice Langford. Alice Langford, however, had two known children by her first marriage to John Stradling, namely one son, Edward Stradling, who died without issue 4 November 1488, and one daughter, Anne
Stradling, born about 1469 (aged 19 in 1488), who married John
Danvers. Evidence of these two children can be found in Cal. IPMs

to the 17th Century New World immigrant, Jeremy Clarke, of Rhode
Island.
...The most recent biography of Margaret Plantagenet entitled Margaret Pole which was published in 2003. Unfortunately the new ODNB account makes no mention of Margaret Plantagenet being Sir Richard Pole's second wife. Rather, it follows the standard line taken by past historians that Margaret Plantagenet was Sir Richard's only wife.
One wonders why this should be the case when the evidence of the Pole-Langford marriage was initially presented by F.N. Macnamara in his book, Memorials of the Danvers Family, back in 1895. However, I've found that historians are notoriously bad genealogists. In this case, the author of the ODNB article missed both the Danvers book and the published abstract of the Chancery proceeding which proved the Pole-Langford marriage.
Be that as it may, I recently found a brief mention of Alice Langford's husband, John Stradling, and their daughter, Anne (Stradling) Danvers, in the book, Llyfr Baglan, published in 1910. This work is based on pedigrees collected by John Williams in the period, 1600-1607. On pages 279, the following information is presented:
"This Sr Edward [Stradling] had to his brothere John Stradlinge,
knight, who ma. w'th the heire of dauncie in wilshir and had issue sir
Edmond, who had issue John and Edmond; John had issue the ladie
dauers, of whome the davers, hungerfordes, fynes and levets and a
great p'genye of theme are descended, and of the said Edmond cometh
(Carnysoyes of Cornwall.").

In St. Ann's church on the hill at Lewes. The historian Thomas Walker Horsfield , F.S.A. (1792-1837) translated the rather florid Latin inscription:
"Hippocrates saw Twyne lifeless and his bones slightly covered with earth. Some of his sacred dust (says he) will be of use to me in removing diseases; for the dead, when converted into medicine, will expel human maladies, and ashes prevail against ashes. Now the physician is absent, disease extends itself on every side, and exults its enemy is no more. Alas! here lies our preserver Twyne; the flower and ornament of his age. Sussex deprived of her physician, languished, and is ready to sink along with him. Believe me, no future age will produce so good a physician and so renowned a man as this has. He died at Lewes in 1613, on 1 August, in the tenth climacteric." | Twynne, Thomas (I10604)

In the chantry inquiry of 1546 5 was probably represented by the 2 tenements (one said to be in Hosier Lane) held separately by Robert Sharpe and William Carket by lease, at £2 p.a. each, which were listed in error under the chantry of John Donne (see 3A). In 1548 they were included in the £7 lands held by the rector and churchwardens for some time without any specified intent. William Pierson made a request to purchase them in 1548, at £72 or 18 years purchase. In this request the tenements were said to have been given to the church without condition, 'as appears by their deeds.' The tenement held by William or Thomas Pierson lay to the W. of 3B c. 1548, but in the same year an effective grant of 5 seems to have been made to Thomas Brende of London, scrivener: it was de scribed as 2 messuages separately held by William Carkeke and Robert Sherp in Goose Lane in the parish of St. Mary le Bow, with cellars, solars, 'les ware houses', ways, paths, etc., to be held by fealty in free burgage, with the issues since Easter last.
