Source Request: Huddlestons of Millom Castle
Brad Verity
Millom Castle? I'm interested particularly in the 15th and 16th
centuries for this family. There is no pedigree of them on either the
Tudor Place or Stirnet websites, nor is there a pedigree in the 1563
Visitation of Yorkshire.
The Huddlestons made very advantageous marriages into the Nevill family
in the mid-to-late 15th century. It appears to have started with Sir
Richard Huddleston, KB, heir to Millom Castle, who married about 1465,
Margaret, the illegitimate daughter of Richard Nevill 'The Kingmaker'.
Two of Sir Richard's younger brothers then married first cousins of his
wife: Sir John Huddleston married (as his first wife) Joan Fitzhugh,
niece of the Kingmaker, and William Huddleston married Isabel Nevill,
daughter of the Marquess Montagu, another niece of The Kingmaker.
And a Richard Huddleston of Westhall in Whittington, Lancashire,
married Alice Tunstall, granddaughter of George Nevill, archbishop of
York, and so a great-niece of The Kingmaker. But I'm not certain how
the Huddlestons of Westhall fit into the Millom Castle family.
Any sources on this family that anyone can point me to, I'd much
appreciate.
Cheers, --------Brad

I have a good deal of information on this family - there should be a
couple of references to them in the Archives. They are ancestral to
the Docwras of Hertfordshire and Cambridgeshire.
As it happens, I am corresponding with Annette Hudleston Harwood who is
an authority on the subject; in particular we are looking at the
question of whether the family has a descent from Richard, Earl of
Cornwall, the younger son of King John. I shall see whether Annette
would be able to join a discussion here. I'll try to dig out what I
have and post it asap in any case.

the branch in Sawston, Cambridgeshire, in Joseph Foster's edition of the
visitations of Cumberland and Westmorland. Various parts of the family were
covered at times in Burke's Landed Gentry at considerable length, but I have
a note in my files that the BLG pedigree disagrees with the visitation
pedigree in the early generations. In this case, I suspect that BLG may be
right (although it overlooks the FitzHugh marriage that Brad mentions
below).
There are a considerable number of citations for the family in both
Marshall's and Whitmore's Genealogical Guides, including one to Nicholson
and Burns' Cumberland and Westmorland that John Brandon suggested in a
separate post.
Brad Verity
Thank you for the references. The UCLA Library has the Nicholson &
Burns volumes, so I've definitely added that to my List.
Unfortunately, the Library doesn't have Joseph Foster's Visitation of
Cumberland & Westmorland, but I'll at least be able to easily find
Burke's LG.
Two more sources I hope to track down:
1) 'Millom Families Part II' by C. Roy Huddleston in 'Transactions of
the Cumberland and Westmorland Antiquarian and Archaeological Society',
Volume XCIII (1993).
2) DX882 "The Genealogie of the Most Ancient and Right Worshipfull
and Honourable Family of Hudleston alias Hodeleston Originally of
Hudleston Hall in Yorkshire and of Milham in the County of Cumberland
>From the Time of King Henry the Third to the Present Reign" in the Tyne
and Wear Archives in Newcastle.

That would be great. I used her 'The Lines of English Hudlestons' as
well as her posts on Hudleston Family Message Boards as a source.
http://www.huddleston.bravepages.com/history/lines.html
It was one of her posts that was my source for a first marriage of Sir
John Huddleston (d. 1512) to Joan, daughter of Henry, Lord Fitzhugh &
Alice Nevill.

Looking forward to it!

The Visitation of Cambridgeshire has this pedigree for the Sawston
branch (it omits a couple of generations):
1. John Hudleston
2. Richard Hudleston
3. John Hudleston, 11 E3
4. John Hudleston, married Catherine
5. Richard Hudleston, 24 H6; married Mary dau of Sir John Freeston

Humfrey, Lord Dacres (sic)
8a. Sir Richard Hudleston of Milholme, married Margaret dau of Rd
Nevill E of Warwick
8b. Sir John Hudleston ob 3 H8; married dau of Hugh, Lord FitzHugh
******************
Nicolson & Burns, vol ii, offers the following (also, it apppears,
defective):
1. Sir John Hudleston married Joan, daughter & heir of Adam de Boyvill
2a. John Hudleston, unmarried
2b. Sir Richard Hudleston, summoned to Westminster 9.5.1324; married 13
Ed II Alice, dau of Richard Troughton, ff 1334-7
3. Sir John Hudleston, married Maud dau of Sir Wm de Pennington
4. John Hudleston, married Catherine dau of Richard Tempest of Bowling,
Yorks [a manifest anachronism]
5. Richard Hudleston, married Anne dau & coh of Henry Fenwick of
Fenwick
6. Sir Richard Hudleston, Kt Banneret, at Agincourt 1415; married
Margaret (sic) sister of Sir William Harrington KG
7. Sir John Hudleston, MP for Cumberland 7 Ed IV

This is the link for the line from Burke's, which Annette has on her

Dear Brad ~
There are pedigrees of the Huddleston family in the following two
sources:
1. Hutchinson, Hist. of Cumberland 1 (1794): 528 (Huddleston pedigree).
2. Jackson, Papers and Peds. Mainly Rel. Cumberland and Westmorland 2
(1892): 120-136, foldout pedigree.

Merilyn Pedrick
Westmorland.
The note I have for John Machell says "Henry VI was sheltered by this John
Machell of Crackenthorpe after the battle of Hexham in 1465".
Any ideas on where she might have sprung from?

Thanks, Douglas. I've added these to my UCLA Library list.

Yep. Vol. II, p. 9-15. They list 22 generations from
Sir John Huddleston (fl. 20 Ed. I) who married Joan,
daughter of Adam de Boyvill through Elizabeth who
marrid Sir Hedworth Williamson (fl. 1774).
Note: Nicolson & Burn is great for what it is, but it
was written in the 18th century and rarely names
sources, so is uneven and of limited use for earlier
generations.

Thanks, Mark. These look great, and the library I use carries the
CWAAS Transactions series (at least until the 1960s).
