    • Notes 
      • D6. Henry Gascoigne, third son, m. Isabel Boynton of Sedbury Isabel Boynton died 23 March 1545. CP (in the bio of her second husband Thomas, 10th Lord Hilton) makes Isabel born c.1479, saying she was age 24 in 1503, but this is incorrect: it was her mother, Isabel Lumley Boynton, who was age 24 in 1503 (at the death of her father Bertram Lumley of Ravensworth). Henry Gascoigne was dead by 1543/44, when Isabel married Sir Thomas Hilton.

        Sir Henry Gascoigne of Sedbury (d. 1558) m. Margaret Cholmley

        Sir Henry Gascoigne died 28 October 1558, and his IPM was taken on 25
        September 1561.

        D8. Richard Gascoigne of Sedbury (d. 1605) m. Jane Norton

        Presumably his father's 1561 IPM would return an age for Richard. His
        pre-marriage settlement with Jane Norton was dated 1 April 1548.

        D9. Sir John Gascoigne of Sedbury
        D10. Sir William Gascoigne of Sedbury (c.1568-1643) m. Barbara Anderson

        Sir William Gascoigne and Barbara Anderson were married at Pittington
        3 June 1599.

        D11. Isabel Gascoigne of Sedbury m. 1611 Sir Marmaduke Wyvill, 2nd Baronet

        The source for this, and specifically for generation D9, was the VCH for the North Riding of Yorkshire, which in turn cited Whitaker's Richmondshire and Hopkinson's MSS. In a recent trip to the FHL in Salt Lake City, I was able to check out the two sources cited by VCH. Actually, it turns out to be just one source, since Whitaker cites, and appears to quote verbatim, a pedigree of the Boyntons from the Hopkinson MSS. I say "appears to" because I could not locate the Gascoigne of Sedbury descent in the volume that the FHL has catalogued as the Hopkinson MSS, although both the Boynton and Gascoigne pedigrees there mention the marriage between the two families but do not carry the descent further than the marriage. So Whitaker probably got his Gascoigne descent from some place else (uncited) - and there are at least two key problems with his Gascoigne descent.
        Whitaker says that the Henry Gascoigne who mar. Isabel Gascoigne of Sedbury was the son, not the grandson, of the Sir William Gascoigne who mar. Margaret Percy. I have seen this parentage for Henry in at least one other (unsourced) pedigree of the Gascoignes, but two separate visitation pedigrees (Flower 1563/4 and Glover 1584/5) shows Henry's parentage as that listed by Brad's note, which appears to be the generally accepted version.

        The chronology certainly favors Henry Gascoigne of Sedbury being grandson of Sir William Gascoigne and Margaret Percy, and the 1530 Visitation pedigree of the family taken by Herald Thomas Tonge states that Henry was the third son of Sir William Gascoigne of Gawthorpe and his first wife Alice Frognell. [Note: the 1530 Visitation pedigree of Gascoigne published in Sur. Soc. 41 (1863) is frustratingly incomplete: it is printed on p. 15, but a long footnote cuts off the pedigree halfway through the paragraph on Sir William Gascoigne and
        Alice Frognell, and the following page - p. 16 - starts a completely
        new family pedigree, (Stapleton of Wighill.)
