Hi Group:

Could someone in the group tell me if the following information on the
Vaux family/families is correct and is there a connection between the two. I
understand that there is a chart on the ancestry of the Multon and Vaux
families in CP IX, pages 396-408, but unfortunately I do not have a copy of
CP and do not have easy access to a copy.

Hubert de Vaux of Irthington, Co. Cumberland, (d. by 1165), married Grecia.
/
Ranulph de Vaux of same, (d. 1198), married Alice.
/
Robert de Vaux of same, married Maud.
/
Hubert de Vaux of same, married Alice.
/
Maud de Vaux, (d. just before 28 May 1293), married Thomas de Multon of
Gilsand and Burgh-on-Sands, Co. Cumberland.

The next Vaux family is:

Robert de Vaux of Pentney, Co. Norfolk, (d. after 1086), married a daughter
of Hubert de Munchesni.
/
Robert de Vaux of same, married Agnes.
/
William de Vaux of same, (d. after 1150).
/
Oliver de Vaux of same, (d. between 1235-1244), married Petronilla de Craon.
/
John de Vaux of Freiston, Co. Lincoln, married Sibyl.
/
Maud de Vaux, married in 1287, Lord William de Ros, (d. 1316).


On Nov 4 2001, James D. Allen posted information entitled "Alice Mohun's
royal ancestors." Included in this posting was information on the ancestors
of Beatrix de Vaux, wife of William II de Briwere. The following is given.

Beatrix de Vaux
/
Hubert I de Vaux, (d. ca 1165), married Grecia.
/
Robert II de Vaux, married a daughter of Hubert de Munchesni.
/
Robert I de Vaux.

Could someone tell me if this is correct? If it is, then it would
appear that this one family. Thanks in advance for your help.

Egremont by his 2nd wife, Ada, daughter and coheir of Hugh DE MORVILL,
Forester of Cumberland (See MULTON of Egremont), was his mother's heir. His
father gave him the Lincs manors of Whaplode and Holbeach, and at Michaelmas
1242 he accounted for his relief on succession to his mother's inheritance.
Before Michaelmas 1252 he had confirmation of all the liberties of the forest
of Cumberland as his ancestors had held them, and custody of Carlisle Castle.
He was summoned for service in Wales in 1258; in 1264-65 he sided with the
Barons against the King, but it is uncertain whether it was he or his
namesake nephew of Egremont who was by them appointed Warden of the Coast,
and (or) keeper of Carlisle Castle. On 18 June 1266 he had a safe conduct to
come to Court, provided he kept faith with the King and his heirs; and, in
July 1270, protection for 3 years. He married Maud, daughter and heir of
Hubert DE VAUX of Gilsland. He died before 14 January 1270/1. His widow
died shortly before 28 May 1293. [CP 9:405-6]

I have....
Ursula RUDSTON (sometimes expressed as Podeton) as the 2nd wife
of Robert WRIGHT (b abt 1502, Plowland, s/o John WRIGHT & Alice
RYTHER). He 1st married Anne GRIMSTON .

Wm WRIGHT (1528-1621) issued from the 1st marriage of the above
John WRIGHT. John and Christopher WRIGHT (of Gunpowder Plot
involvement) issued from the 2nd marriage. So, Ursula was step-mother
to Wm WRIGHT, not grandmother. It's hard to keep the WRIGHTs
sorted out

Do you happen to know which SUTTON was the mother of Alice
RYTHER (d/o Gilbert RYTHER) who married John WRIGHT of
Plowland ?

And...if anyone happens to know where Ursula Wright was
imprisoned, at least one of the Wright cousins is after that tidbit. Most
everyone says Hull off the top of their heads, but we don't have proof
of that as yet. Just wondering.

There appear to be several Huberts de Montchensy/Munchesny in this
period (and I see in CP [sub 'Munchensy', to which you refer] no
allusion to a Vaux before 1164). Judging by subsequent allusions to
Pentney, presumably the Robert de VAUX alluded to here would be
Robert de Vallibus (perh. from Vaux-sur-Seulles) given in
Keats-Rohan, _Domesday People_, 382 -- but acc. to Keats-Rohan he m.
Agnes da. of Ranulf fitz Walter. Can you help us with more data
(from Moriarty's notes?)?.

This appears to be the first of the Vauxs of Fre(i)ston, Lincs, and
it would be helpful to know how the Lincs. line arises. Cf.
Malinda's <Wm de Ros, Lord Ros (d 1317, Claimant to the Crown of
Scotland) m. Maud de VAUX (daughter and heir of John de VAUX)>. The
John de Vaux referred to by Malinda would be the s. of an Oliver de
Vaux of Freston. Again, does Moriarty give any help here?

Are you saying that this Ursula Rudston/Podeton was married to both Thomas
Grimston and Robert Wright? Various websites say various things. There's an
awful lot of confusion with all sorts of people being associated with other
people of the wrong generation. I can't remember the exact confusion.

I would say these are two separate women. The Visitation of Yorkshire (Wright)
has William as son of Robert Wright and Anne Grimston. Burke's History of
Commoners (Wright) have Anne Grimston as daughter of Thomas Grimston and Ursula
Podeton.

I agree. (2nd marriage to Ursula Rudstone.)

We're talking about two different women. My problem is with Elizabeth
Girlington.

I simply have her name as Isabell with no surname.

The Gunpowder Plot Society people say she was incarcerated in Hull for a total
of 14 years, along with her Babthorpe cousin. Margaret Ward seems to have
written about this.

Should you ever have any epiphanies about these matters, I'd like to hear
them.

The Visitation of Yorkshire (Harleian Series, p. 152) shows Elizabeth
Girlington as
wife of Thomas Grimston in the Visitation pedigree for Grymston.
