    I must add that I find Greene's argument that Willam Lawrence and Katherine Beaumont's son Thomas was not the same as the husband of Elizabeth Bull pretty weak. It was only the fact that he would have been a couple of months shy of his 18th birthday when
    he married.

    Is the ancestry Wikitree has for William Lawrence, husband of Catherine Beaumont and possible father of Thomas Lawrence, husband of Elizabeth Bull, at https://www.wikitree.com/genealogy/Lawrence-Family-Tree-912 correct? It includes an Edward I descent
    through Lionel Welles.

    I think the line from Lionel Welles is quite weak. As a starter, note that the biography given for John Lawrence, supposed son of John Lawrence and Eleanor Welles according to the pedigree, says that John was the "[son] of Sir James Lawrence, 5th Squire
    of Ashton and Cecily Lawrence" - quite a different couple. That should be a big red flag for you....

    I have not investigated this family in any depth, but it looks as if one thing that may be wrong currently on WikiTree is the statement in the biography of John Lawrence, https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Lawrence-922, that John's mother had the first name
    Cecily.

    WikiTree relationship connections, including the pedigree chart at https://www.wikitree.com/genealogy/Lawrence-Family-Tree-912, show John as son of James (not John) Lawrence and Eleanor Welles. James as father accords with what is stated in the biography
    for John Lawrence. Eleanor does not: she is described on WikiTree as James's second wife. James's first wife is said in the biography to be Cecily, last name at birth Boteler.

    But Douglas Richardson in his ''Royal Ancestry'' says that John Lawrence's mother was Eleanor Welles, not Cecily: see ''Royal Ancestry'', Vol. III, pp. 308-309. If that is right, it means that John's biography has identified the wrong mother for him, and
    that the mother-son relationship shown in the WikiTree pedigree chart is correct.

    James was apparently said to be 22 in 1450 when his father died, and Douglas Richardson says he died in May 1490. I am not seriously researching this family at present and have not looked for other sources for these dates. I have now found an entry,
    viewable on Google Books, for Eleanor Welles which covers her husbands too, in Richardson's Magna Carta Ancestry - Vol. IV, pp. 310-311, WELLES 10, https://books.google.co.uk/books?redir_esc=y&id=8JcbV309c5UC&q=welles#v=snippet&q=welles&f=false - you
    need to scroll down the search results quite a way to get to the relevant page. It says nothing of substance about Hugh Hastings.

    The reference in James’s biography on WikiTree to his mother being Cecily has now been removed, and I have added some quick research notes to the biography, https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Lawrence-916.

    Your strictures are unnecessary and you misunderstand how we use research notes on WikiTree.

    I would not regard Marlyn Lewis's site as a reliable source either. On WikiTree we give warnings about its (lack of) reliability, and I personally drafted some of these warnings.

    The citation is in a research note. One of the main uses of research notes on WikiTree is to note things that it may be sensible to check out when someone has time, to see if there is a reliable basis for what is said in an unreliable place like Marlyn
    Lewis's site. That is a sensible way to proceed.

    When information is presented like this in a research note on WikiTree, it is an indication that it may well be suspect, while recognising the possibility that a good source may be found for it. That does not need to be spelt out. It is obviously right
    to indicate where the information came from, so the citation to Marlyn Lewis is required. The information would be in the main part of the biography if I had regarded it as reliably sourced.

    If a reliable basis can be found for James's father having two marriages and two sons called James, the research note reference to Marlyn Lewis can be removed, and reliable sourcing given.

    If it can be proved that Marlyn Lewis is wrong, then I would want WikiTree to note that in a research note, in order to prevent others, who discover what Marlyn Lewis says, making the same error and adding false information. Research notes are frequently
    used on WikiTree to note errors in Marlyn Lewis's site and other unreliable but well-known places - and errors in more reliable sources too.

    Yes, the source was cited (with a link) in Michael's post of 11:25 AM (my time) this morning. Did you read that post?

    As I've indicated before, the son John attributed to Eleanor is the weak point in the Wikitree attempt to connect to Lionel Wells - and thus to a royal descent.

    If you're talking about the Gentleman's Magazine article cited in the Wikitree page for John Lawrence of Ramsey, that article (have you read it??) does not make John a son of Sir James Laurence and Eleanor Welles. Another weakness in the desired link
    to Lionel Welles and the royal descent.

    But John Lawrence of Ramsey WAS probably connected to Sir James Lawrence in a different way - which I'll explain later today, if time permits.... That would explain the confusion...

    Douglas Richardson in his 'Magna Carta Ancestry' 2nd Edition, cites this 1876 Chetham Society volume amongst his list of sources for his entry on Thomas Lord Hoo/Eleanor Welles/Sir James Lawrence, but only the pages (131-133) for the 1501 IPM above.
    Presumably he overlooked the 1490 IPM on pages 122-123.

    I have now found an entry, viewable on Google Books, for Eleanor Welles which covers her husbands too, in Richardson's Magna Carta Ancestry - Vol. IV, pp. 310-311, WELLES 10, https://books.google.co.uk/books?redir_esc=y&id=8JcbV309c5UC&q=welles#v=

    Not only does Douglas say nothing of substance about Hugh Hastings, he states (p. 310), of Sir James Lawrence and Eleanor Welles, "They had three sons, Thomas, Knt., John, and Robert (clerk), and two daughters, Agnes (wife of William Tunstall) and Jane."

    I've no idea from which source Douglas got the third son Robert Lawrence, and the two daughters Agnes (Lawrence) Tunstall and Jane Lawrence.

    John Gough Nichols, in 'The Herald and Genealogist' Volume 8 (1874), includes an article 'Lawrence of Ashton, Co. Lancaster', pp. 210-219. The article, which is not amongst the sources listed by Douglas on p. 310 of his 'Magna Carta Ancestry', includes a
    detailed pedigree of the Lawrence family of Ashton Court, and provides supporting evidences. The only two children the pedigree assigns to Sir James Lawrence and his second wife Eleanor (Welles), Lady Hoo, are sons Thomas and John.

    The article does abstract the IPM for John Laurence of Ashton Court, the younger son of Sir James Lawrence and Eleanor Welles, who was killed at the Battle of Flodden Field 9 Sept 1513 ("fuit quod predictus Johannes Laurence obit nono die Sept. 5 Hen.
    VIII."):
    https://archive.org/details/heraldgenealogis08nich/page/216/mode/2up

    From John Lawrence's IPM, it's clear he died without issue (though he did leave a widow, Alice), as his heirs were one aunt, Margaret (Lawrence) Rigmaden (d. 12 Aug. 1517), sister of his father Sir James, and three first cousins, the heirs of three other
    of his father's deceased sisters.

    Per the entry on Ashton in VCH Lancaster Volume 8 (1914), more details are given about the descendants of four aunts of John Lawrence. After his death, "the inheritance was divided among a number of families, representatives of his aunts Elizabeth,
    Margaret, Agnes and Alice, daughters of Robert Lawrence. Footnote: This appears from pleadings of 1536 in Pal. of Lanc. Plea R. 163, m. 20, concerning the manors of Ashton, Camforth and Scotforth, and extensive lands, &c. (1) Elizabeth married John
    Boteler of Rawcliffe and on the death of their grandson John in 1534 the heirs were four daughters — Elizabeth wife of James Standish of Duxbury, Isabel, who afterwards married Thomas Radcliffe of Winmarleigh, Eleanor wife of Henry Rishton and Grace
    afterwards wife of Hugh Anderton. (2) Margaret married Nicholas Rigmaiden of Wedacre. (3) Agnes married William Skillicorne of Prees, and their great-grandson Richard Skillicorne died in 1534, leaving four daughters—Joan wife of Thomas Chaydock,
    Elizabeth of George Linsage [? Liversage], Anne of Henry Marsh and Eleanor of — Haughton. (4) Alice married James Clifton and their great-granddaughter and heir married Sir William Molyneux of Sefton."
    https://www.british-history.ac.uk/vch/lancs/vol8/pp50-56

    As this volume of VCH Lancaster is amongst the sources Douglas cites for his entry on Thomas Lord Hoo/Eleanor Welles/Sir James Lawrence, I find it interesting that he proceeds to give Sir James and Lady Eleanor Lawrence three additional children, who, if
    they had actually existed, would have to have predeceased without issue their brother John Lawrence of Ashton Court.

    I've no idea from whom William Lawrence, husband of Catherine Beaumont, descends, but it certainly wasn't from John Lawrence of Ashton Court (dsp 1513), son of Sir James Lawrence of Ashton Court (c.1428-1490) and his wife Eleanor (Welles) Lady Hoo. This

    The WikiTree pedigree Paulo links above has additional Edward I descents for this William Lawrence, through a purported maternal ancestor, Anne (Tyrwhitt) Kaye:
    https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Tirwhitt-1

    Yet, this also is almost certainly incorrect. I have Anne Tyrwhitt, the daughter of Sir Robert Tyrwhitt of Kettleby Hall (c.1482-1548) and Maud Tailboys (descended from Edward I through each of her parents), as married 4 Dec 1516, to William Hansard of
    South Kelsey (1501-1522), with a daughter Elizabeth Hansard (1522-1558), the first wife of Sir Francis Ayscough of Stallingborough Hall (by 1518-1564), brother of Protestant martyr Anne Ayscough (burned at the stake 1546).

    John Gough Nichols, in 'The Herald and Genealogist' Volume 8 (1874), includes an article 'Lawrence of Ashton, Co. Lancaster', pp. 210-219. The article, which is not amongst the sources listed by Douglas on p. 310 of his 'Magna Carta Ancestry', includes
    a detailed pedigree of the Lawrence family of Ashton Court, and provides supporting evidences. The only two children the pedigree assigns to Sir James Lawrence and his second wife Eleanor (Welles), Lady Hoo, are sons Thomas and John.

    The article does abstract the IPM for John Laurence of Ashton Court, the younger son of Sir James Lawrence and Eleanor Welles, who was killed at the Battle of Flodden Field 9 Sept 1513 ("fuit quod predictus Johannes Laurence obit nono die Sept. 5 Hen.
    VIII."):
    https://archive.org/details/heraldgenealogis08nich/page/216/mode/2up

    From John Lawrence's IPM, it's clear he died without issue (though he did leave a widow, Alice), as his heirs were one aunt, Margaret (Lawrence) Rigmaden (d. 12 Aug. 1517), sister of his father Sir James, and three first cousins, the heirs of three
    other of his father's deceased sisters.

    Per the entry on Ashton in VCH Lancaster Volume 8 (1914), more details are given about the descendants of four aunts of John Lawrence. After his death, "the inheritance was divided among a number of families, representatives of his aunts Elizabeth,
    Margaret, Agnes and Alice, daughters of Robert Lawrence. Footnote: This appears from pleadings of 1536 in Pal. of Lanc. Plea R. 163, m. 20, concerning the manors of Ashton, Camforth and Scotforth, and extensive lands, &c. (1) Elizabeth married John
    Boteler of Rawcliffe and on the death of their grandson John in 1534 the heirs were four daughters — Elizabeth wife of James Standish of Duxbury, Isabel, who afterwards married Thomas Radcliffe of Winmarleigh, Eleanor wife of Henry Rishton and Grace
    afterwards wife of Hugh Anderton. (2) Margaret married Nicholas Rigmaiden of Wedacre. (3) Agnes married William Skillicorne of Prees, and their great-grandson Richard Skillicorne died in 1534, leaving four daughters—Joan wife of Thomas Chaydock,
    Elizabeth of George Linsage [? Liversage], Anne of Henry Marsh and Eleanor of — Haughton. (4) Alice married James Clifton and their great-granddaughter and heir married Sir William Molyneux of Sefton."
    https://www.british-history.ac.uk/vch/lancs/vol8/pp50-56

    As this volume of VCH Lancaster is amongst the sources Douglas cites for his entry on Thomas Lord Hoo/Eleanor Welles/Sir James Lawrence, I find it interesting that he proceeds to give Sir James and Lady Eleanor Lawrence three additional children, who,
    if they had actually existed, would have to have predeceased without issue their brother John Lawrence of Ashton Court.

    South Kelsey (1501-1522), with a daughter Elizabeth Hansard (1522-1558), the first wife of Sir Francis Ayscough of Stallingborough Hall (by 1518-1564), brother of Protestant martyr Anne Ayscough (burned at the stake 1546).

    This must be that "alice m James Clifton and their great-granddaughter and heir married William Sefton"

    We have a James Clifton, we have a great-granddaughter and heir, she married a William Sefton

    Although Burkes here has Alice Lawrence as the mother, and an Alice Lancaster as the great-grandmother, I wonder if these have been switched?

    page/n217/mode/2up. See the list of children at the bottom of the Laurence pedigree. This is one of the works Richardson cites.

    Robert is described there as parson of Warton, Lancashire. The Victoria County History for Lancashire has a table of rectors and vicars of Warton which shows Sir James Lawrence presenting a Robert Lawrence to the living on 6 March 1489/90, with Richard
    Dudley succeeding Robert in 1507/8: 'The parish of Warton', in A History of the County of Lancaster: Volume 8, ed. William Farrer and J Brownbill (London, 1914), pp. 151-161. British History Online http://www.british-history.ac.uk/vch/lancs/vol8/pp151-

    Is this some kind of case where the widow Margaret /Lawrence/ Rigmaiden had it in her own power to name her "second son" as her own heir to her properties?

    *Or* is it just *slightly* possible that the Vis Lanc here is wrong and that Thomas named as her heir and heir "aged 24" 1514 was the SON of John by Catherine Pennington?

    It would chronologically *just* be possible

    Yes, Will, it is the same person. Thomas Radcliffe of Winmarleigh (1516-1538) married (settlement 17 Jan 1527), Isabel Boteler, dau of John Boteler of Rawcliffe Hall (1489-1534, descended from Edward I) and Anne Sherborn (d. 1541). The paternal
    grandparents of John Boteler were John Boteler, heir of Rawcliffe Hall and Elizabeth, dau of Robert Lawrence of Ashton Court (d. 1450).

    Robert is described there as parson of Warton, Lancashire. The Victoria County History for Lancashire has a table of rectors and vicars of Warton which shows Sir James Lawrence presenting a Robert Lawrence to the living on 6 March 1489/90, with Richard
    Dudley succeeding Robert in 1507/8: 'The parish of Warton', in A History of the County of Lancaster: Volume 8, ed. William Farrer and J Brownbill (London, 1914), pp. 151-161. British History Online http://www.british-history.ac.uk/vch/lancs/vol8/pp151-

    Very interesting Michael, thank you. The Lawrence pedigree from the 1567 Visitation of Lancashire indicates that Jane Lawrence died young and Agnes (Lawrence) Tunstall died without issue. You've researched that Rev. Robert Lawrence of Warton died 1507/8,
    so it would seem that these three additional children of Sir James Lawrence of Ashton Court (c.1428-1490) and Eleanor (Welles) Lady Hoo, did indeed exist, and Agnes Tunstall had to have died before her brother's IPM was taken in 1513. I'll add these
    three Lawrence siblings into my database. And so the issue of Sir James Lawrence and Lady Hoo became extinct when their son John Lawrence fell at Flodden.

    Paulo, back in 2016, I showed that Margaret Kaye, wife of William Lawrence (bur. 20 Dec. 1572), could not have been the granddaughter of John Kaye of Woodsome Hall (d. 1594) and Dorothy Mauleverer (c.1527-1591, descended from Edward III). However, she
    may indeed have been a daughter of an Edward Kaye and Anne Tyrwhitt, as Charles Browning had it in 1911. But if so, I don't believe that Anne (Tyrwhitt) Kaye was the daughter of Sir Robert Tyrwhitt of Kettleby Hall (c.1482-1548) and Maud Tailboys (
    descended from Edward I). Further research into William Lawrence (d. 1572) and his wife Margaret is definitely needed.

    here at the bottom has an a line from John Rigmayden son and heir, which descends next to a Thomas son and heir m Jane Langton

    So from Margaret Lawrence m Nicholas Rigmayden we should have her heir as John, and her grandson and heir as Thomas

    However from the Herald and Genealogist cited above

    https://archive.org/details/heraldgenealogis08nich/page/217/mode/1up

    we have that Margaret is 60 and that "Thomas SON and HEIR" is 24

    I think this document is in error. We all know about the ages in ipms, but it is the rare gentry woman whose heir was born when she was 36, and that is if she was just 60. Being 60+ in 1514 would place her birth before 1454, but her brother James was
    22+ when his father died in 1450, so born before 1428. This makes it look like her age was very much older than 60, and probably closer to 80. Unless the age of Thomas was equally far afield, it sure looks like he was two generations removed from
    Margaret rather than just the one. The other heirs were John Butler aged 25 and grandson of Elizabeth Lawrence, John Skillicorne aged 40 and son of Agnes Lawrence, and Elizabeth Hesketh, great-granddaughter of Alice Lawrence. If Thomas really was 24,
    he would more fit as grandson of another sister, rather than simply son.

    FWIW: ipm of Nicholas Rigmaden, 1479, heir grandson Nicholas aged 30+

    Oops, left out Elizabeth Hesketh's age: she was 16.

    And while we are at it, it looks like the visitation's Clifton pedigree is far afield with regard to the Clifton/Lawrence connection:

    https://play.google.com/books/reader?id=EQEVAAAAQAAJ&pg=GBS.RA1-PA42&hl=en

    It shows that Elizabeth (Clifton) Hesketh's parents were Cuthbert Clifton and the daughter and heiress of Lawrence, with the editor then filling in that she was daughter of Sir John Lawrence of Ashton. The inquisition instead says Elizabeth Hesketh was
    was daughter of Cuthbert Clifton, son of Robert, son of Alice, sister of James Lawrence (father of Sir John).

    I would like to suggest a possible resolution to the question of "Who the hell was Margaret Kaye" ?

    As I was pounding away at these families I happened to come acrost a Margaret Kaye curiously enough

    Peter /Frescheville/ of Staveley, co Derby
    son of
    Peter /Frescheville/ of Staveley, co Derby; Knt 1544; "aet 15 1/2" 30 Apr 20H8 (1528); minor in 1519, livery in 1534 d 8 Nov 1558 by his wife Elizabeth /Tempest/ daughter of Richard /Tempest/ of Bealraper and Ewerby (as Lord); Knt 1513 and his wife
    Rosamond /Bolling/ heir apparent of her father 1497; "aged 26 and more" 1502

    This Peter (Jr) married firstly Elizabeth /Clifton/ daughter of Gervase /Clifton/ of Clifton, co Nott; Knt (can someone identify the wife here??)

    By this first wife he had
    Frances /Frescheville/ m 11 Jul 1574 Saint Margaret, Westminster (Batch M001601 wj) Gervase /Holles/ , Knt
    and
    Elizabeth /Frescheville/ living 1591 m William /Tyrwhitt/ of Ketilby, co Linc; esq Will dated 1 May, proved 3 Dec 1591 bur 8 Jul 1591 Bigby

    BUT Peter had a second wife.....Margaret /Kaye/
    By this wife he had a male heir
    Peter /Frescheville/ of Staveley, co Derby; Knt; W

    We are *given* that this boy was born exactly on 3 Mar 1575

    Right, I had the grandson marked as Margaret's husband, and I think the age given him by the ipm, "30 and more", is another of those ipm round-decade ages that shouldn't be interpreted as anything more precise than 'an adult, neither particularly young
    nor old'.

    VCH Lancs covers the family:

    https://www.british-history.ac.uk/vch/lancs/vol7/pp315-320

    See in particular note 25, which is citing Margaret's ipm as indicating she was mother of John, father of Thomas, so it looks like the John Lawrence ipm (or at least the abstract of it) has omitted a generation in giving the relationship between Thomas
    and Margaret.

    I spent most of Saturday researching these Lawrences. In my last post yesterday afternoon I said I'd post more later "if time permitted", which it didn't on Saturday. I'll use Brad's excellent post as a framework to add more information that I found on
    Saturday and today.
    [snip]

    Not only does Douglas say nothing of substance about Hugh Hastings, he states (p. 310), of Sir James Lawrence and Eleanor Welles, "They had three sons, Thomas, Knt., John, and Robert (clerk), and two daughters, Agnes (wife of William Tunstall) and Jane.
    "

    I've no idea from which source Douglas got the third son Robert Lawrence, and the two daughters Agnes (Lawrence) Tunstall and Jane Lawrence.

    His source appears to be a Lawrence pedigree in Misc. Gen. et Heraldica, 1st series, 1:199 (1868). (Oddly that pedigree is noted to be from the 1567 visitation of Lancashire, but it doesn’t appear in the full publication of that visitation in volume 81
    of the Chetham Society’s publications. Strange…but not important to our discussion).
    https://www.google.com/books/edition/Miscellanea_genealogica_et_heraldica/76xBAAAAcAAJ?hl=en&gbpv=1&bsq=%20199
    Note that the pedigree says that the two sons Thomas and John died “sans issue” – an immediate problem for the Wikitree pedigree.

    John Gough Nichols, in 'The Herald and Genealogist' Volume 8 (1874), includes an article 'Lawrence of Ashton, Co. Lancaster', pp. 210-219. The article, which is not amongst the sources listed by Douglas on p. 310 of his 'Magna Carta Ancestry', includes
    a detailed pedigree of the Lawrence family of Ashton Court, and provides supporting evidences. The only two children the pedigree assigns to Sir James Lawrence and his second wife Eleanor (Welles), Lady Hoo, are sons Thomas and John.

    https://www.google.com/books/edition/The_Herald_and_Genealogist/tTpUAAAAcAAJ?hl=en&gbpv=1&dq=lawrence+of+ashton&pg=PA214&printsec=frontcover

    This H&G article was written to correct and extend the MGH pedigree referenced above, and it does a generally good job of that - although it gets a bit confused at the end.

    The article does abstract the IPM for John Laurence of Ashton Court, the younger son of Sir James Lawrence and Eleanor Welles, who was killed at the Battle of Flodden Field 9 Sept 1513 ("fuit quod predictus Johannes Laurence obit nono die Sept. 5 Hen.
    VIII."):
    https://archive.org/details/heraldgenealogis08nich/page/216/mode/2up

    From John Lawrence's IPM, it's clear he died without issue (though he did leave a widow, Alice), as his heirs were one aunt, Margaret (Lawrence) Rigmaden (d. 12 Aug. 1517), sister of his father Sir James, and three first cousins, the heirs of three
    other of his father's deceased sisters.
    [snip]
    As this volume of VCH Lancaster is amongst the sources Douglas cites for his entry on Thomas Lord Hoo/Eleanor Welles/Sir James Lawrence, I find it interesting that he proceeds to give Sir James and Lady Eleanor Lawrence three additional children, who,
    if they had actually existed, would have to have predeceased without issue their brother John Lawrence of Ashton Court.

    The VCH Lancashire article on Ashton also notes that John's elder brother Thomas died in 1504, presumably without issue since Ashton passed to John. But the author of the H&G pedigree attempts to introduce a supposed son of Thomas, called (conveniently)
    John Lawrence of Ramsey, to explain how another piece of Lawrence property went to a different branch of the Lawrence family. I think this is wrong and should be ignored.

    The Wikitree entry for John Lawrence [Lawrence -922] is definitely not John Lawrence who died at Flodden and was the son of Sir James Lawrence and Eleanor Welles. But he was a real person, John Lawrence of Ramsey, Huntingdonshire [not Ramsley,
    Devonshire, as in the Wikitree entry] who died ca. 1538. The article from The Gentleman's Magazine, Volume 118, pg 12ff, cited in the Wikitree entry, gives some useful information on John Lawrence of Ramsey and his descendants.

    This was meant primarily to show the descent from John Lawrence of Ramsey to Henry Lawrence, who was President of the Council in the last years of Cromwell's Protectorate (and has a biography in ODNB). But it also notes that John Lawrence of Ramsey, had
    an uncle, another John Lawrence, who was the last abbot of Ramsey before the dissolution of the abbeys under Henry VIII. After digging around a bit on John the abbot, I came across a book which has a **possible** pedigree for the Lawrences of Ramsey and
    St. Ives (along with a pedigree of the Lawrences of Ashton). https://books.google.ca/books?id=7voRAAAAYAAJ&pg=PA12#v=onepage&q&f=false
    I have idea why the Lawrence familied should appear in a book regarding Sir Rhys ap Thomas, but the Lawrences of Ashton appear starting on p. 392 and The Lawrences of St. Ives (including Ramsey) start on p. 430. Note that the latter pedigree starts with
    a statement that the pedigree has not been substantiated and "is merely an attempt to make a connection with the Lancahsire family". But it's probably a better attempt in this regard than the concocted - and now clearly erroneous - effort in the
    Wikitree pedigree.

    The bottom line is that the supposed royal descent for John Lawrence of Ramsey via Eleanor Wells, in the Wikitree pedigree which Paulo Caneido brought up to start this thread, is certainly incorrect.

    miscellaneagenea112unse/page/n217/mode/2up. See the list of children at the bottom of the Laurence pedigree. This is one of the works Richardson cites.

    Robert is described there as parson of Warton, Lancashire. The Victoria County History for Lancashire has a table of rectors and vicars of Warton which shows Sir James Lawrence presenting a Robert Lawrence to the living on 6 March 1489/90, with
    Richard Dudley succeeding Robert in 1507/8: 'The parish of Warton', in A History of the County of Lancaster: Volume 8, ed. William Farrer and J Brownbill (London, 1914), pp. 151-161. British History Online http://www.british-history.ac.uk/vch/lancs/vol8/

    Very interesting Michael, thank you. The Lawrence pedigree from the 1567 Visitation of Lancashire indicates that Jane Lawrence died young and Agnes (Lawrence) Tunstall died without issue. You've researched that Rev. Robert Lawrence of Warton died 1507/
    8, so it would seem that these three additional children of Sir James Lawrence of Ashton Court (c.1428-1490) and Eleanor (Welles) Lady Hoo, did indeed exist, and Agnes Tunstall had to have died before her brother's IPM was taken in 1513. I'll add these
    three Lawrence siblings into my database. And so the issue of Sir James Lawrence and Lady Hoo became extinct when their son John Lawrence fell at Flodden.

    Thanks for this, Brad. I guess this is what Peter Warwick refered to at https://groups.google.com/g/soc.genealogy.medieval/c/Vci4rw2vSEs/m/AmqAqxJvBwAJ.
    Paulo, back in 2016, I showed that Margaret Kaye, wife of William Lawrence (bur. 20 Dec. 1572), could not have been the granddaughter of John Kaye of Woodsome Hall (d. 1594) and Dorothy Mauleverer (c.1527-1591, descended from Edward III). However, she
    may indeed have been a daughter of an Edward Kaye and Anne Tyrwhitt, as Charles Browning had it in 1911. But if so, I don't believe that Anne (Tyrwhitt) Kaye was the daughter of Sir Robert Tyrwhitt of Kettleby Hall (c.1482-1548) and Maud Tailboys (
    descended from Edward I). Further research into William Lawrence (d. 1572) and his wife Margaret is definitely needed.

    Cheers, ----Brad

    Dear Brad, I was refering to "I got a laugh out of one royal ancestry for Thomas Lawrence going through the Lawrences. One person used a scan from a published genealogy to show that one Lawrence descended from another. Unfortunately the person never
    bothered to read the genealogy as it clearly said that this one Lawrence did not have children." Anyways, thanks for this.

    I am glad someone has confirmed my conclusion - that it looks as if the pedigree in the 1868 volume of Miscellanea Genealogica et Heraldica may be mistaken in claiming that it derives from the 1567 Visitation. I triple-checked yesterday evening the
    Chetham Society edition of the Visitation, and was starting to wonder if I was just missing something.

    Robert Lawrence, listed as a son of Sir James in the 1868 pedigree, was presumably a relative of Sir James, who presented Robert to the living at Warton, Lancs (see an earlier contribution of mine to the conversation): but how he was related seems
    unclear. That is, though, a side issue and does not affect the conclusion that there is a mistake on WikiTree about the parents of John Lawrence, https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Lawrence-922. I will be detaching them, and am grateful for the research
    people here have undertaken.

    I spent most of Saturday researching these Lawrences. In my last post yesterday afternoon I said I'd post more later "if time permitted", which it didn't on Saturday. I'll use Brad's excellent post as a framework to add more information that I found on
    Saturday and today.
    I've no idea from which source Douglas got the third son Robert Lawrence, and the two daughters Agnes (Lawrence) Tunstall and Jane Lawrence.
    His source appears to be a Lawrence pedigree in Misc. Gen. et Heraldica, 1st series, 1:199 (1868). (Oddly that pedigree is noted to be from the 1567 visitation of Lancashire, but it doesn’t appear in the full publication of that visitation in volume
    81 of the Chetham Society’s publications. Strange…but not important to our discussion).

    Neither the Misc Gen & Her version nor the Chetham version are based on the 'original' visitation in the College of Arms. Both are based on deriviative copies (Harleian Ms 6159 and 2086 respectively) and presumably have both copying errors and '
    augmentations' made by the original copyists (16th century College of Arms heralds) or later owners who acquired the manuscripts through the private antiquarian manuscript trade before the manuscripts passed to the British Library. As always, one is
    well served to read the manuscript history and analysis given at the start of the Chetham edition. For catalogue description of the manuscripts, see:

    https://books.google.com/books?id=XqZJAAAAcAAJ&printsec=frontcover#v=onepage&q&f=false at page 457
    https://books.google.com/books?id=3aZJAAAAcAAJ&printsec=frontcover#v=onepage&q&f=false at page 333

    Misc Gen & Her is explicit that their information is from the Harleian MS 6159 copy of the Visitation of Lancashire. It is possible this represents an addition made by the author of the Misc Gen Her particle, either intentionally or due to error, but
    this seems unlikely. More likely, this was an addition made in that Harleian manuscript not found in the original visitation, added either by the copyist of a subsequent owner. However, it is also possible that this is authentic information found in
    the original visitation, but was omitted, by error or intent, from the copy used by the Chetham Society for their publication.
