However, if the form of the pedigree reported by Evidences is taken
per Davis again: "The pedigree credits his son Thomas to his first wife, but it would seem that the mother of his daughter Elizabeth was either the second or third, inasmuch as Elizabeth was m. abt 1594 and had a child bornI think Davis is wrong here. We have two conflicting versions of the pedigree, one deriving the one child shown from the first wife, Margaret Rice, with Susan Brand as the third, the other showing the children as belonging to first wife Susan Brand,
as late as 1614." Given that last date, it would seem Elizabeth is the d. of Susan, if Susan was the 3rd and last wife.
Along these lines, looking at familysearch I find a marriage in 1574 at Colchester between Thomas Cooke and Elizabeth Northye, which I think has to be that of Thomas and "Elizabeth North of Colchester" described in the visitation as the second wife.This would set up a chronology of Thomas Cooke m.1 1568, Susan Brand, with children b. 1569-1573, m.2 1574, Elizabeth Northy, and sometime after that m.3 Margaret Rice.
I note there was a George Northye who was Town Lecturer of Colchester in 1580, but would be suspended in 1583 by the Bishop of London for refusing to subscribe to the articles. He died in 1593.Robert and John Brand of Boxford, born in the 1560s, hence of the generation after Susan Brand of Boxford. As usual, such back-of-the-envelope estimations can be off.
Regarding the Brand family, there are two handy time points. Sir John Brand was admitted to Gray's Inn 1608. His heir was his uncle John, whose son, also named John, married in 1618. That puts this generation b. ca. 1590, and the previous generation,

This assessment seems correct. There are Suffolk feet of fines which mention Thomas Cooke and his wife Margaret beginning in 1579. That fine certainly appears to be for the correct Thomas Cooke, since it involved as plaintiffs Thomas Cooke and HenrySyday (with wife Anne) vs. Geoffrey Syday for properties in Alphamstone, Bures St. Mary, and Lamarshe.
Regarding the Brand(Bronde) family, there is an extensive pedigree of this family that I obtained from the Suffolk RO, though unfortunately does not mention a Cooke marriage. It lists the children of Ann and Richard Bronde of Boxford (w.p. 1590) as:John Bronde (b. 1534, m. Mary Luffkey 28 Oct 1559), Peter Bronde of Bildeston (obit. 1615, m. Johann Sadler 26 Sep 1562), William Bronde of Boxford (w.p. 1600, m. Susan Chaplyn 10 Oct 1563), and Richard Bronde (obit. 1595/7, m. Rose Veysey 3 Nov 1563).

Based on my notes, Richard's 1590 will named no daughters, which need not mean he didn't have any. I had tentatively placed Susan as his daughter, along with Joan m. Roger Lungley.

different Cooke family, there is no way to tell.Unclear what you are asking. If you mean whether this 'Edmund' is Thomas of Pedmarch, that seems unlikely as we have two separate wills referring to a (the same?) man of this name. If you mean whether I view Edmund as of the Pedmarch family or atafI guess you are saying this son-in-law is someone else, as there were no Edmunds in the Cooke of Pebmarsh family. Or could it be the Cooke of Pebmarsh man?

We have one source reporting a pedigree based on one copy of the 1634 visitiation made by "Mr. Richard Mundy"(no further details). We have a second source reporting a different pedigree based on three sources: a different copy of the 1634 visitation (no further details), plus a copy of the 1558 visitation, apparently copied by Jacob Chaloner who brought some of the pedigrees down to 1614, and then added to by later owned "Mr John Gough, the Painter-Stainer", fl. 1638, in part from the 1634 visitation,
All of the source manuscripts contain copies or extracts from the same 1634 visitation, yet the resulting reconstructions differ. Getting the original from the College of Arms would specifically answer two questions: In the original vistitation, takenabout 60 years after the relevant events, what order of marriages was given (we think we know this), and which wife was given as the mother of the heir, apparently the only child named. It may also include details left out of copies, incidences of copy
This is what you will get. I can't tell you whether this is worthwhile, because that is entirely subjective, and would involve weighing personal factors such as your personal financial circumstances and degree of interest in the fine detailsto knowwhether the cost is worth the likely (and potential) harvest.

Anyone have ideas about the actual surname of Margaret's second husband? I'm not finding other Twyttons or Twydid in Essex, though there are some Twytts and Tweeds.
