; Faris (1999, pp. 51-52): [quote] ANTHONY BROWNE, Knt., K.G., of Battle Abbey and Cowdray Park, Sussex; Knight of the Shire for Surrey, Standard Bearer to King Henry VIII, Master of the Horse, son and heir, was born about 1500. He was half-brother of William Fitzwilliam, the future Earl of Southampton, and was brought up with him in the royal household with the future King Henry VIII. He served as Ambassador to France and took an active part in suppressing the northern rebellion of 1536. He served the King at the Field of Cloth of Gold, and distinguished himself at the tournament. He showed military skill in the subsequent war, and was knighted on 1 July 1522 after the raid on Morlaix. He was married for the first time before 1528 to ALICE GAGE, daughter of John Gage, of Firle, Sussex; K.G. (of Magna Carta Surety descent), by Philippe, daughter of Richard Guildford, Knt. They had seven sons and three daughters. She died after July 1540. He was married for the second time in 1542 to ELIZABETH FITZ GERALD, youngest daughter of Gerald Fitz Gerald, 9th Earl of Kildare, by his second wife Elizabeth, daughter of Thomas Grey, Marquess of Dorset. They had two sons who died in infancy. His inheritance was relatively modest, and he acquired the bulk of his estate for himself, including the site and lands of Battle Abbey. Cowdray Park was inherited in 1542 from his half-brother and became the family seat. "Sir Anthonye Browne, K.G., of Battell, Sussex" died testate (P.C.C., 10 Coode) at Byfleet, Surrey, on 6 May 1548, and was buried at Battle. His widow was married for the second time to Edward Clinton, K.G., 9th Lord Clinton, Earl of Lincoln, Lord High Admiral of England (died 16 Jan. 1584/5). She died testate in March 1589/90.

Several weeks ago I received e-mail asking my opinion on the parentage of Joyce Stafford, wife of Sir Marmaduke Constable (1443-1518). Was she the daughter of Sir Humphrey Stafford, of Grafton, Worcestershire (1400-1450), or of his son, Humphrey Stafford, of Grafton (1426/7-1486). In my personal records I believed her to be the daughter of the elder Sir Humphrey, but thought I would look into this further just to be sure. I checked the SGM archives and found only brief mention of this quite some time back where it was suggested she was the daughter of the younger Humphrey, but without any noted evidence.

The Visitation of Yorkshire in 1564 (Harleian Society, vol. 16 [1881], p. 65, for Constable of Flamborough, names the 2nd wife of Sir Marmaduke Constable as "Joyce doughter to Sir Humphrey Stafford of Graufton" and the mother of all of his children. There does not appear to be any dispute that she was the daughter of "a" Sir Humphrey Stafford of Grafton, but which one, father or son?

Nash's Collections for the History of Worcestershire, vol. 1 [1781], p. 156-173 covers the manor of Grafton, and there is a transcription of a document dated 1 April 1478, wherein Alianore [Eleanor Aylesbury], widow and sometime wife of Humphrey Stafford, establishes a chantry at Bromsgrove Church to say mass for Prince Edward, the Queen, and for Alianore and "Humfrey, Thomas, Elizabeth, Anne, and Joyeux, children of the seide Humfrey late my husband and me..."

Now, the Staffordshire Record Society, 3rd Series, vol. 1917, p. 212, in its biographical sketches of Staffordshire Members of Parliament, states Sir Humphrey Stafford was "married, 1408, both being infants, Eleanore, daughter and heiress of Sir Thomas Aylesbury..." and cites the Complete Peerage, which reference in CP, 2: 389 reads "Sir
Humphrey Stafford of Grafton whose wife Eleanor was living 24 May 1449. A papal dispensation to contract marriage, dated 7 Id. Aug 1408, possibly refers to him."

Wedgwood's History of Parliament 1439-1509 [1936], vol. 1, p. 792, also states Sir Humphrey Stafford (1400-50) married Eleanor Aylesbury "c. 1408." So, Sir Humphrey Stafford was apparently married in 1408, when aged eight, and his wife was at least his age if not younger. Children would likely have been born starting about 1420, perhaps a year or two in either direction.

In Testamenta Eboracensia, vol. 3, Publications of the Surtees Society, vol. 45 [1865], p. 324, I find a marriage license issued on 2 Jan 1423-4 to the "prior of Thurgarton, the prior of Shelford and William Storthwaite, or one of them, to marry, in the chapel of Wyrton, Humphrey Stafford and Eleanor, whom he intends to espouse."

Unfortunately, Eleanor's family name is not stated, but I wonder if this is not a record of that marriage, as the date of 1408 was but a proposed marriage contract. The time period would be correct.

The issue of Sir Humphrey Stafford and wife Eleanor Aylesbury, based upon Nash and Wedgwood, was-

1. Richard Stafford, eldest son, who was slain by the Harcourts in June 1448.

2. Humphrey Stafford (1426/7-1486), who succeeded his father in Grafton and his mother to Blatherwyck, Northamptonshire. When attainted and executed in 1486, the Staffords lost Grafton, but his descendants continued to reside at Blatherwyck. He married Katherine Fray.

3. Thomas Stafford. He was attainted with his brother, and his descendants held Tottenho, Buckinghamshire.

4. Elizabeth Stafford, who married by license of 27 Jan 1446/7, Richard Beauchamp, of Powick (1435-1503). [CP, vol. 2, p. 47]

5. Anne Stafford, who married Thomas Skull.

6. Joyce Stafford, wife of Sir Marmaduke Constable (1443-1518).

The fact that her parents started having children in the early 1420s and she was born at least by 1443 and perhaps a year or two later, does not place her out of the realm of probability as a child of Humphrey and Eleanor, considering that she appears to have been the youngest child. Her slightly older sister, Elizabeth, was born about the time of her husband, 1435, again, perhaps even a year or two later.

Nash, p. 157 names four children of the younger Humphrey Stafford, 2 sons, and 2 daughters- Anne, wife of Richard Neville, Lord Latimer, and Margaret, wife of John Archer, of Tamworth.

Our local library is missing the Harleian Society's volume on Staffordshire Pedigrees so I am uncertain if a Stafford pedigree therein may have named a second Joyce as a daughter of the younger Humphrey Stafford, but none of the published pedigrees from other sources I have found do so.

Although these various histories call the younger Humphrey Stafford a knight, he died as an "Esquire" based on several entries in the Calendar of Patent Rolls, 1485-1494, among others on p. 159.

Many thanks for any input.

; Some time ago, there was an extended discussion regarding Isabel granddaughter of Anselm (1345) and her husband, William de Peto. William died without issue, and Isabel subsequently married Sir John de la Roche.

Sir John died in 1375 and his son, Thomas, his elder brother John having died about 1382, also inherited lands in Wales and Ireland, and ,on his death, left two daughters, of whom the younger, Ellen, wife of Sir Edmund Ferrers of Chartley, Staffs., received Castle Bromwich.

Weis 7th edition says that Ellen Roche [widow], daughter of Thomas Roche of Castle Bromwich, co. Worcs., d. 4 Nov 1440. She m. Sir Edmund Ferrers of Chartley and (2) as first wife, Sir Philip Chetwynd.

The remainder of Ellen de la Roche's ancestry is found in the Victoria County History of the County of Warwick, Vol. 4, edited by L. F. Salzmanpp. 252-253 sub the manor of Nether Whitacre in the parish of Nether Whitacre.

Another contributor observed thet her parents were Thomas de la Roche and Elizabeth Bermingham (spelled Birmingham and Bermingham). But Complete Peerage (CP), XI:44 (Roche), seemed to indicate otherwise:

"(i) Thomas de la Roche...2nd but 1st surv s. of Sir John de la Roche (by his wife Isabel de Bromwich), who d. 1376, s. and h. of Sir Robert de la Roche, s. and h. of Sir David de la Roche of Langwm, by Joan de la Roche, sister of William de la Roche. The representation was divided, on the death of (i), between his two sisters, Ellen who m. Edmund Ferrers of Chartley...."

If the Thomas de la Roche named in (i) above was indeed the brother of Ellen, that would make her parents Sir John and Isabel de Bromwich, not Thomas and Elizabeth de Bermingham.

BUT according to Faris II (p. 138), her parents were Thomas de la Roche of Castle Bromwich, co. Warwick, and Elizabeth, daughter of Sir John Birmingham of Birmingham, co. Warwick, etc. Faris says she died 4 Nov.1440.

Someone else suggested this could be sorted by consulting information on the de la Roche family in Victoria County History of the County of Warwick, Vol. 4, edited by L.F. Salzman, published 1947, pg. 44, sub the manor of Castle Bromwich in the parish of Castle Bromwich, co. Warwick. Other information appears in the same volume regarding Roche family land in the parish of Nether Whitacre.

So which is correct - does anyone know????

The final word from another participant was: As to the Roches, see VCH Warks 4:44 and W Dugdale *The Antiquities of Warwickshire* Vol.II (London, 1730), p.886.¹⁰

per Powys-Lybbe email: "Refer to CP XIV, p. 550, where it says: "for 'sisters' read 'das.'" Ellen was the dau. of Thos. Roche. ... Also see CP V, pp. 316-7 where is it quite clear that they found some records to indicate that Ellen Roche's parents were Thos Roche and Elizabeth Birmingham."^11,10
