One of the ancestors of the current (15th) Duke of Bedford is
Elizabeth Anne Rawdon, wife of Lord William Russell, and granddaughter
of the 1st Earl of Moira & his third wife Lady Elizabeth Hastings. Leo
has a thorough ancestry on Elizabeth Rawdon's paternal side: through
her Hastings grandmother she descends from Henry VII. But Leo has her
mother in his database with no dates or parents, here:
http://www.genealogics.org/getperson.php?personID=I00081165&tree=LEO

Elizabeth Rawdon's mother was Fanny Hall-Stevenson, born at Skelton
Castle, Yorkshire 21 December 1774, and died January 1850, buried Old
All Saints Church, Skelton-in-Cleveland, Yorkshire. Fanny married Hon.
John Theophilus Rawdon of Bolney Court on 13 December 1792, and had
two daughters with him: Elizabeth Anne, born 2 October 1793, and
Frances Charlotte Rawdon, born 2 February 1795, who apparently died
young.

Fanny Hall-Stevenson's 18 separate lines of descent from Edward III
are given below, with links to the most recent individuals in Leo's
database for each.

*Writer & poet. Has a bio in ODNB.

**I can find only the name of her father: James Foster (or Forster),
of Drumgoon, co. Fermanagh, with no further details. Her mother is
unknown. So there may be Edward III/Edward I descents behind her.

***The Lawson Visitation pedigree from the 1560s says that George's
mother was Elizabeth, daughter of Constantine Darrell of Wiltshire.
Per the HOP bio of George's brother Wilfrid Lawson of Isell, their
mother was Elizabeth, dau of Sir Edward Darrell of Littlecote
(1465-1530), which is chronologically impossible as Elizabeth Darrell
Lawson lived until 1602. But if she somehow descends from Sir Edward
Darrell & his 1st wife Jane Croft, she is a descendant of Edward I.

****Possibly descended from Edward III if his paternal grandmother
Elizabeth Lambert was the daughter of Benjamin Lambert of Airton Hall
& Elizabeth Clifford, illegitimate dau of the 2nd Earl of Cumberland.

******I'm in the camp that has Eleanor's paternal grandmother
Elizabeth Dacre, as an illegitimate daughter of the 2nd Lord Dacre
(see Generation B6 above)

I think you have transferred the birth year of Mabel Carnaby to her husband George Lawson.
Mabel was co-heiress of her father and "aged 3" in 1545
I don't have a source which gives us the age of her husband

George Lawson was the eldest son of his parents. Their second son
Wilfrid Lawson of Ithell has two HOP bios, both of which state Wilfrid
was born in 1545:

http://www.historyofparliamentonline.org/volume/1558-1603/member/lawson-wilfred-1545-1632
[1981]

http://www.historyofparliamentonline.org/volume/1604-1629/member/lawson-wilfrid-1545-1632
[2010]

So I just figured George was born a couple years before his brother.

The 1981 bio follows the Visitation pedigree and states their mother
Elizabeth (who died in 1602) was the daughter of Constantine Darrell
of Wiltshire. But the 2010 bio states she was the daughter of Sir
Edward Darrell of Littlecote (1465/66-1530). I should clarify: it's
chronologically impossible for their mother Elizabeth to have been the
daughter of Sir Edward & his first wife Jane Croft (who died by 1493),
but it is possible for to have been a daughter of Sir Edward and his
third wife Alice Flye (whom he married in 1512). And Sir Edward's bio
does say he and his third wife had one daughter.

I didn't have Mabel Carnaby's birthdate - thanks for that!

Hi Brad,

re your note labelled with three asterisks, viz.:

"***The Lawson Visitation pedigree from the 1560s says that George's
mother was Elizabeth, daughter of Constantine Darrell of Wiltshire.
Per the HOP bio of George's brother Wilfrid Lawson of Isell, their
mother was Elizabeth, dau of Sir Edward Darrell of Littlecote
(1465-1530), which is chronologically impossible as Elizabeth Darrell
Lawson lived until 1602. But if she somehow descends from Sir Edward
Darrell & his 1st wife Jane Croft, she is a descendant of Edward I."

FWIW
J. S. Dorrill & G.A. Reed. Sir William Darrell of Brodsworth,
Yorkshire, who entered with the Conqueror. A Genealogical Chronicle.
Book 1 (The Families of England), 1992 (1st edn).
p. 3-17
Elizabeth Darell, b. 1492 (source not given), d/o of Sir Edward Darell
(1465/6-1530), by his 1st wife Jane Croft. She bore Sir Thomas Wyatt,
of Allington Castle, Kent, a natural son, Francis Wyatt, to whom his
father transferred the estate of Tarrant in Dorset. (source not given)

I descend from Sir Edward's younger brother, Constantine Darell (d.
1508), of Littlecote, Wilts. (M.P. for Marlborough, Wilts., 1459) (via
his daughter Anne, who m. John Ernle (b. 1460/61), The Elder, of
Fosbury and Bishop's Cannings, Wilts.) This Constantine married Joan
(sometimes called Julia/Juliana) Collingbourne, daughter and heiress
of Robert Collingbourne, Esq., of Collingbourne Abbas, Wilts., M.P.
for Bedwin, Wilts. (1431), through whom that manor passed to
Constantine. (Robert is supposedly the brother of William
Collingbourne, of Lydiard Millicent, Wilts., who was executed for
writing the famous piece of anti-Ricardian doggerel: "The Cat, the
Rat, and Lovel the dog, ruleth all England, under a Hog".)
Constantine Darell and Joan his wife had issue: (Hist. Parl. 1439-1509), p. 259:
"Marmaduke, Constantine, Valentine, Mary and Anne".

Dorrill and Reed, p. 3-20 state w/o source that there was also a son
William who, by a woman/wife other than his wife Joan d. & h. of
William Knottesworth, of Pagham, had issue a son Constantine. Via his
wife he was also the ancestor of the Darells of Pagham. His
granddaughter Mary Darell, heiress to her father Marmaduke, his son,
married another Darell, Edward Darell, 3rd son of Thomas Darell of
Scotney, so the estates at Pagham remained among those of the Darell
name.

All this to show that there are various candidates, admittedly w/o
proper sources, for Constantine Darell father of Elizabeth the mother
of your fellow George Lawson.


Best,

Richard
For the moment, indoors in sunny Vancouver as you may be too!;)

Thanks for this, Richard. I would assume the Visitation pedigree of
the Lawsons from the 1560s is correct, then.

Wasn't it a gorgeous day today? I got the dog out for a great long
walk in Stanley Park. Off to work now.

Thanks & Cheers, ------Brad

I want to thank John Higgins for pointing out to me I had an error in
my database: Winifred Threlkeld (Generation #J6 above) was not the
daughter of Margaret Neville, the Kingmaker's illegitimate daughter.
Rather she was the daughter of Ellen Ratcliffe, the first wife of
Lancelot Threlkeld (d. 1512). Margaret Neville was his second wife.

We can be sure that Winifred was not Margaret's daughter because
Margaret had been granted some properties in Cumberland by her father,
and has an IPM, here:
http://archive.org/stream/calendarofinquis02grea#page/490/mode/2up

Her heir at her death on 17 October 1498 was her son Richard
Huddleston (named for his grandfather the Kingmaker), who was still a
minor. Per the IPM, he came of age on 11 November 1501, so born about
that date in 1480. When he died in October 1502, his co-heirs were
his two sisters, Margaret Huddleston Salkeld & Joan Huddleston Fleming
(Richard's IPM must be in CIPM Henry VII Volume 3, which isn't
available online). Had Margaret had any daughters with Lancelot
Threlkeld, they would also have been co-heirs, as these were her own
properties, not dower or jointure from the Huddlestons.

I've adjusted my database and made Winifred the daughter of Lancelot
Threlkeld & Ellen Ratcliffe, giving Fanny Hall-Stevenson now 17
separate lines of descent from Edward III.

Thanks & Cheers, ----Brad

Hi Brad

Great work as always.

Do you know the parentage of this Ellen Ratcliffe?

Thanks, Doug. Ellen's parents were Sir Thomas Radcliffe of
Derwentwater (1422-1495) and Margaret Parr. She was a sister of Sir
Richard Radcliffe (d. 1485 at Bosworth), Richard III's henchman.

Cheers, ---Brad
