In response to your Iwardby query below, you may wish to consult the
book, Fitznells Cartulary, edited by C.A.F. Meekings and Philip
Shearman, published in 1968 as Surrey Record Society, Vol. 26. On
pages cx-cxxiv of that book is a good account of the Iwardby family.
According to Meekings and Shearman, Sir John Iwardby, of Fitznells,
Surrey (died 1525), married (1st) Katherine Neville (died prior to
1476); (2nd) before 1485 Sanche Carewe, daughter and co-heiress of
Nicholas Carew, of Carshalton, Surrey; and (3rd) Jane, daughter of
John Agmondesham, of Leatherhead. Sir John Iwardby was the father of
one son, John, by his 1st marriage, who died in infancy; and, by his
2nd marriage, he had one daughter, Jane (wife of John St. John and
Nicholas Saunder). Jane Iwardby inherited her father's manor at
Fitznells.
If correctly set forth, Jane (Iwardby) (St. John) Saunder would not
possess a Neville descent. However, she would have a valid descent
from King Henry II through her paternal grandmother, Margaret Fiennes,
wife of Nicholas Carew, Esq., of Beddington, Surrey. Can you tell me
what colonists descend from Jane (Iwardby) (St. John) Saunder?

I'll have to look at my notes, but this makes good sense. I've been trying
to figure out how to stack the family as it appeared we had one too many
generations. The Neville (1st wife) and Carew (2nd) hits the nail on the
head as it was here that the confusion was sitting. I'll try to provide
more later when I've the time.
Thank you for the information. Mind you, you've just snipped one of my
lines. Ho hum!

Very interesting. We have a conflict between the descent in the
Fitznells Cartulary and the descent recorded in the window of
Mapledurham church, Oxon. Perhaps the trouble is that there were so
many John Iwardbys? I have numbered the from 1 to 4 for later discussion:
(Set your machines to a fixed font, everyone!)

m. (2) Sanche Carew d.1525 | Carew

Jane Iwardby Jane Iwardby
m. (1) John St John (as Fitznells)
(2) Nicholas Saunder
The question seems to be whether the Fitznells Sir John Iwardby is
identifiable with John (3) Iwardby of Mapledurham. John (3)'s parents
were married around 1442 so John (3) might have been born around
1444-1450, making him around 75 at death.
Sanchia Carew gets a mention in a note by Charles Evans in one of the
Reports (probably no 15 of 1982 but I do not have this noted on my copy
of the relevant page...) of the Friends of Lydiard Tregoz. He writes,
somewhat ambiguously:
"Sanchia Carew was the daughter and coheiress of Nicholas Carew
(1426-1466), of Carshalton and Purley, by Margaret Langford, whose first
husband he was. She [which she? Margaret? Or Sanchia?] was baptised at
Bradfield, Berkshire, and died in 1501 (will PCC 15 Blamir). Her second
husband was John Carent, of Hampshire (died 1483, brass), whose second
wife she was; and her third husband was William Twynyhoo (died 1497),
whose second wife she was. Margaret Langford [is this who Evans was
talking of?] was the daughter of Edward Langford (1417-1474), of
Bradfield, Customer of Southampton, MP for Berkshire 1449-1459; by
Sanchia Blount. Both of them were buried at St Francis
Chapel, Greyfriars, Reading, Berks."
This gives Sanchia's birth at anywhere from around 1456, when her father
was 20, to 1466, when he died. Sanchia may, or may not, be the one who
died in 1501.
Could Sanchia have married first John (3) Iwardby, as his second
husband? Possibly, but the question is when.
Sanchia's daughter Joan married first John St John (d. 1512) and gave
birth to another John St John in c. 1505; the latter John held the
Lydiard Tregoze estate and died in 1576 (all from other Reports of the
Friends of Lydiard Tregoze), So, Joan, daughter of Sanchia, married in
1504 or earlier and if she was then 15, she was born in 1489; if she was
then 20, she was born in 1484. Say that Joan was born anywhere between
1482 and 1490.
This gives a possible marriage date of Sanchia to John (3) as anywhere
from 1480 onwards. Though it could have been earlier if Joan was a late
child. In 1480 Sanchia would have been anything from 14 to 24 years
old and her husband, if John (3), would have been 30 to 36.
These dates would also allow Sanchia to have married John (4).
Reverting to the reported memorials in Mapledurham church, the
interesting thing is that there is a clear reference to an infant son to
John and Katherine. But the final words quoted [see below] do not (in
fact) say "the son" but merely "son", allowing for one or more such
sons.
The odd thing is that the Fitznells Cartulary has the husband of
Katherine Neville as _Sir_ John and the memorial to this couple in
Mapledurham church does not do this nor does it add "knight" after his
name as it does for another, "Hugh Ansley Knight", in the same north
chancel window.

I honestly can say that at the moment it seems a fifty-fifty bet that
Sanchia married John (3) Iwardby or John (4) Iwardby. Are there any
more details in the Fitznells cartulary?

The book then has:
"According to St George, between the two figures was an infant, lying
flat, at the height of their arms, from its mouth proceeded a scroll
with the words 'God have mercy on me John the son of John the son of
John'."
This has to be the the son of John and Katherine who died an infant.

<small snip>
The words in the book (from Symonds) are actually:
"and for ye sowle of John the which by the wall lieth son of the said
John and Katherine on whom Jesu have mercy."
Notice that this is no longer "the son", but merely "son".

: C 1/859/6-8 John Markham, knight, and Anne, his wife, daughter of John
:
The placement of three wives for John Iwardby would certainly seem to make
sense to me. As Joan Iwardby, wife of Sir John St. John of Lydiard Tregoze
(1473-1512) was ancestor to Sir Richard St. George (1550-1635), Clarenceux
King of Arms, it would seem probable that St. George would have noted his
descent from Lord Bergavenny had it been there as this would have given him
a descent from Edward III which I have not found elsewhere in his ancestry.
I was working on this a bit before I left two weeks or so ago and can
confirm that one of the John Iwardbys was indeed married to Jane
Agmondesham. I think her monumental brass may have been mentioned in one of
the VCH Surrey articles, but I believe only Katherine Neville is buried with
John Iwardby at Mapledurham. The only thing which throws some doubt is I
believe a mention in the Cooke book that John and Katherine were the parents
of the John of Ewell, Surrey. Will check that out when I can.
I have the PRO marriage settlement document for Katherine Neville and John
Iwardby. It is dated 5 September 1467, so a slight adjustment of her death
date seems needed.
I would also note that VCH Surrey spells the name Senchia, but as
Sancha/Sanche/Sanchia/Senchia was granddaughter Sancha Blount who was in
turn granddaughter of Sancha de Ayala, it would seem that is the source of
the name, whatever the form used.
The mention of Willoughby below brings about another question of identity.
Nicholas Carew d. 17 October 1390 was married to Lucy Willoughby by whom she
had children Nicholas, Margaret and Lucy. She had been previously married to
Thomas Huscarle (circa 1343) d. bef. 1352 of Purley Magna by whom she had
Thomas and Joanna. Lucy is always called daughter of Sir Richard Willoughby
in sources, but he is not further identified.
However, the manor of Beddington was conveyed in 1363 by Elizabeth, widow of
Sir Richard Willoughby to Nicholas Carew, husband of Lucy. It had been
previously licensed by Richard and Elizabeth to Nicholas Carew for life in
1352 . Beddington appears to have been purchased by the Willoughbys in the
1340's. It may be too convenient a date, but Chief Justice Richard
Willoughby of Wollaton, Notts. died in 1362, leaving a widow Elizabeth. His
first wife was Isabel de Morteyn d. 1332. His second wife was Joan de
Charron d. 1342 and his third wife was Elizabeth de Valletort (see Payling
for more on the Willoughbys), daughter of Hugh de Valletort of North Tawton,
Devonshire and his wife Lucia le Bret, widow of Richard de Tremenet and
Richard Champernoun of Modbury. That Lucy could not be daughter of Elizabeth
(despite the convenience of her mother's name) is obvious by the dates of
Lucy Willoughby's first marriage and the birth of her two children by
Huscarle. However, does anyone have an opinion on whether Lucy might be
daughter of Richard and either of his two previous wives? Does anyone know
of a second Sir Richard Willoughby who died in 1362? There are no Surrey
lands mentioned in the IPM of the Chief Justice, but no IPM for another
Richard Willoughby either.
Tim, the dates given in your post suggest to me that it was Margaret
Langford, daughter of Edward Langford of Bradfield and his wife Sancha
Blount who had the subsequent marriages. We know that Nicholas Carew of
Beddington was about 30 when he died in 1466, so two additional marriages
for Margaret are possible. Also she would likely have been less than her
husband's age which would have also made her an age eligible for remarriage.
Just my thoughts.
Since we are throwing this stuff out for opinions. Does anyone have an
identity of the Sir Hugh Annesley, father of Joan Annesley d. 1478, and
mother of the John Iwardby who married Katherine Neville.
My interest in this is via a St. George great-grandmother rather than a
gateway immigrant.

From a study of this era of the Saunder family "The Manor of Batailles
and the Family of Saunder in Ewell during the 16th and 17th centuries"
by Micheal L Walker and published in 1956 also by the Surrey
Archaeological Society, this Nicholas Saunder was the eldest son and he
and Joan Iwardby had three daughters (Pedigree I, at the end of the
article on pp. 76-100):
Ursula, mar. ... Hungerford.
Joan, mar. Richard Bray (d. 1559) of Ewell. Had issue.
Joyce, mar. ... Woodcock.
Regrettably no more information on these is given.

Reverting to Cooke's "Early History of Mapledurham" he writes first, p.
43, that Sir Hugh Annesley was of Riddington, Notts and then adds in a
note:
"The Annesleys of Maidenhead were a Berkshire family, bearing the same
arms as are now in the east window of Mapledurham Church, paly of six,
argent and azure, a bend gules, charged with a mullet argent. Their
pedigree is entered in the Heralds' Visitations of 1623 and 1665 (W.
Berry, County Genealogies, Berks, etc, 1837). Francis Annesley of
Bletchington, Oxon., was M.P. for Reading, for six consecutive
Parliaments, besides being Master of Downing Coll. Cambridge (Coates,
History of Reading, Appendix)."
He does not make it clear whether there is any connection of the
Annesleys of Maidenhead to those of Riddington, Notts. Possibly he
thinks that the former were descendants of the latter.
Anyhow from Coates' "History of Reading" (which I have beside me),
Francis Annesley was MP from 1774 to 1796, a tad outside our frame of
interest.

Dear HS ~
Sanche is the English form of the Spanish name, Sanchia. The women
under discussion in this thread were English, not Spanish. They lived
and died in England. The name Sanchia sounds "romantic." However,
Sanche appears to be the correct form to use for these ladies, not
Sanchia. Ditto Mary, for Maria, Isabel for Isabella, Blanche for
Blanca, Joan for Juana, etc.
