we see that George Digby (1612-1677), 2nd Earl of Bristol (1658-)
He was his father's eldest son, and was born in Madrid where his
father John Digby was then ambassador and not yet the 1st Earl of Bristol which title he received in 1622.
He was not however his mother Beatrice Walcott's eldest son.
Beatrice is given many times as simply "widow of Sir John Dive" with no particulars, and in several sources there is mention of her elder son Lewis Dive, Knt. Beatrice's first husband Sir John Dive died before 1609 when she married John Digby 31 May 1609 at St James Clerkenwell.
Beatrice and John Digby had at least four children. Other than
George, they had a John born in 1618, an Abigail who married George Freke, and a Mary (d 1648) who married Arthur Chichester (1606-75), 1st Earl of Donegal.
I have now located in the extracted IGI the marriage record for
Beatrice to her first husband John Dive which is stated as
"18 Jan 1598 at Saint Mary le Bow, London" I've tentatively modified it to 18 Jan 1598/9 but it could also be 18 Jan 1597/8
Beatrice and John had two sons, the younger one John Dive bap 3 Aug 1601 at Bromham died young, some say in 1601.
The elder one has been given as bap 1595 but the register entry states 25 Nov 1599 at Bromham.
Lewis Dive was Knighted in 1620, and is said-to-have died in 1669.
Lewis married Howard Strangways the eldest daughter of John Strangeways, Knt by his wife Grace Trenchard. Howard was a widow, and some call her first husband Roger Rogers, or Richard Rogers, but his name was Edward Rogers, esq as is proven by a dower claim by Howard.
Edward Rogers was the heir of his father John Rogers Knt by his wife Joan Browne daughter of John Browne Knt of Frampton.
Lewis Dive, Knt and Howard Strangways had four known children, but only the third Francis is known to have any extended life baptised in 1632 with children of his own baptised at Bromham later.
It is unknown to me (from any reliable source) exactly when Howard was born, she may have been a child-bride, not yet formally living as wife with Edward Rogers. They married in 1622 and he died "the next year" so it's doubtful they had any children together and I haven't uncovered any.
Will,
John Dive was buried 19 Dec. 1607 in Bromham. His first wife was Douglas Denny, dau. of Sir Anthony Denny and his wife Joan Champernoun. John & Douglas were married in 1562. His second wife Beatrice Walcott was most likely the one whose baptism is recorded in Lydbury North in 1574. CP 2:321 states she died 12 Sep. 1658 "aged 84." She was therefore, the daughter of the elder Charles Walcott. John Dive was considerably older than Beatrice and Beatrice was about a dozen years older than her second husband, John Digby.
I hope that is of some assistance.
