Ancestry of William Girlington (also Wray, Farrar, Asfordby & c.)
the...@aol.com
Thursday, 12 October, 2006
Hello All,
An interesting pedigree of the Girlington family has come to my attention,
significantly more detailed (both as to early and later generations) than that
in the Harleian series (HSP 16, Visitation of Yorkshire). This is found in
Collectanea Topographica et Genealogica [1], which is (sporadically) available
online courtesy of GoogleBooks.
In addition to the direct Girlington line, the notation in this pedigree
that the mother of William Girlington (2nd husband of Katherine Hildyard) was
"... dau. of .... Catterick of Stanwick" brought about the location of William
Brown's article in YAJ on 'the Catterick Brass'. This article includes a not
overly detailed pedigree of the Catterick family, and some helpful details
from the IPM of John Catterick dated 6 Oct 18 Edw IV (1478), indicating that
his son and heir John Catterick was then aged 30 and more [2].
This chronology works well with the Girlington family as far as is known.
Given that William Girlington and Katherine Hildyard's daughter Isabel (wife of
Christopher Kelke) was likely born say 1495, and William (a younger son) was
born say 1465-1475, his mother NN Catterick can be reasonably placed as having
been born say 1435-1450, which would make her most likely a sibling of the
younger John Catterick, and a daughter of the elder John Catterick by his wife
Lucy Borough, or Burgh [3].
This connection opens up a wide ranging Yorkshire ancestry for William
Girlington on his mother's side: the pedigrees in both the HSP (Visitation
of Yorkshire) and the Surtees Soc. (Visitations of the North) for the Borough
family (formerly de Richmond) show a daughter of William Borough,
' Lucia nupta Iohanni Katerick ', which agrees with Brown's article on the
Cattericks [4].
Based upon these connections, I have prepared an ahnentafel for William
Girlington, which obviously also applies to his elder brother Nicholas
Girlington of Hackforth. William's daughter Isabel (Girlington) Kelke is
well known as the ancestress of several 17th century emigrants to the
Americas (Asfordby, Farrar, etc.), as well as the Barons Farrer of Abinger
and many more besides. Anne Girlington, wife of Sir Christopher Wray, was
the daughter of Nicholas Girlington, son and heir of William Girlington:
a well known cast of Britons (emigrant and otherwise) descend from the
Wray-Girlington marriage. Among the (permanent or temporary) emigrants,
we find Sir Charles Augustus Fitzroy, the Governor of New South Wales
(d. 1858); among the non-emigrants, we find the less-than-venerated
Frederick North, Earl of Guilford (d. 1792), better known to most
(Americans anyway) as Lord North.
Should anyone of the list have additional documentation, comment or
criticism of the foregoing, that would be welcome. Any further details
concerning the Conyers, Borough (Richmond) or other ancestry of William
Girlington would likewise be most appreciated.
Cheers,
John *

' SC 8/24/1191
Petitioners: William Fitz Hugh, knight
Addressees: Commons of parliament
Places mentioned: Everwyk (York); Yorkshire; Burghbridge

Other people mentioned: Henry [Fitz Hugh], Lord Fitz Hugh, father
of petitioner; John [le Scrope of Masham], Lord Scrope; Henry
[le Scrope of Masham], Lord Scrope; John de Etton, knight; John
Bygod, knight; Christopher Conyers
Nature of request: William Fitz Hugh, knight complains of
irregularities in the inquisition taken on a writ of diem clausit
extremum after the death of his father, with the intention of
delaying and obstructing him from his heritage. He asks the
commons to ask the King and lords, to grant, by authority of
parliament, a commission to unbiased people, in the nature of
a diem clausit extremum, to enquire into his father's lands and
tenements. And because the Sheriff and Coroners of Yorkshire are
of the affinity of his adversaries, to send a warrant to an
unbiased person to empanel a jury, with various penalties to
compel them to give their verdict; so that if it is found that
his father held no lands and tenements of the King in chief by
knight service, or in some other way requiring wardship and
marriage, he might be able to have possession of them, saving
the rights of others.
Endorsement: [On face] Soit baille as seignurs (It is to be delivered
to the lords). (on front)[On dorse] A writ is to be issued to the
Escheator of Yorkshire, to return the writ of diem clausit extremum
addressed to him after the death of Sir Henry Fitz Hugh, knight,
with the inquisition taken on it, if there was one, on the Tuesday
following the feast of St Peter Ad Vincula next, on pain of a
penalty of £100. And if no such inquisition is returned on the
said Tuesday, then the Chancellor is to have power, by authority
of parliament, to give a commission to John de Etton, knight, John
Bygod, knight and Christopher Conyers, or to any others at his
discretion, in the nature of a diem clausit extremum, as is
desired by the petition.'[13]

Hi John
Great as always. One question, I show William Burgh (d. 1465) as
married to Elena Pilkington (vis. Yorks, Vis. of the North, etc) and
his son Thomas married to Helena Pickering (from Vis. of
Northamptonshire, p 56). Did I mess this up?
Doug Smith
John P. Ravilious
I don't have any trace of the Pilkington marriage. The HSP
volume is not online at this moment, but the Surtees (Vis. of the
North) pedigree is quite specific on the generation, stating in the
pedigree text,
' Willelmus Borough = Helena filia Pykeringe ' [Vis. of the North,
Surtees Soc. 144:124, pedigree of Richmond]
The footnote (6) for this generation states,
' He died 1465, his wife 1463. They are both commemorated on the
brass of their father and mother in Catterick church (YRS XXXIV, 233).
'
The immediate prior generation, William de Borough/Burgh and his
wife Maud de Lascelles, is likewise as shown in the Vis. of the North
pedigree (' Willelmus Borough = Matildis filia (....) Laselles de
Sourby ' ). Unless the inaccessible HSP volume has further detail, I
fear there's no support for the Pilkington link.....
Cheers,
John

Thanks for the kind words. The details found fill in a rather
large gap in the familial AT; I'm glad you and the rest of the Asfordby
cousins are included.

Dear Leo, Ian, et al.,
Following on my post of the other day, following is a brief table
that provides the connecting links between the AT of William
Girlington, and the personal records on Genealogics for (1) Sir
Christopher Conyers and his wife, (2) William Girlington and his
children, and (3) Anne Girlington, wife of Sir Christopher Wray.
I may have further Girlington lines for your review down the
line, but this will link all the Girlingtons currently recorded
in Genealogics.

into the Catterick family (which is also spelled Catrik, Catteryck, or
Ketterich). I found two pedigrees, slightly different in the earliest
generations, which may be of interest. Both are from collections of
pedigrees published by the Harleian Society in its Visitations series (but
not visitation pedigrees themselves apparently). The first is from
"Hunter's Pedigrees" (HSP v. 88), while the 2nd is from "Yorkshire
Pedigrees" (HSP v. 94). They are summarized below, starting from the
earliest generation and going forward to the point where they are basically
the same.
From "Hunter's Pedigrees":

John Cateryck of Stanwick, b. 1400, living 1480; m. Margaret NN
William Cateryck of Cateryck Hall in Aldboro, dead 1476; m. Margaret NN;
"had many possesions in York"
John Cateryck of Stanwick; m. (1) 8 July 1472 Lucy, dau. of William Busch of
Busch, Co. York; m. (2) Grace, dau. of Robert Lambert of Owton, Co. Durham

Eighth from altering religion 1533; had his pardon under ye Gt. Seal of
England 5 May 1536"; m. Margaret, dau. of John Saltmarsh of Saltmarsh by
his wife Mary, dau. of William Borough of of Borough and Maude, dau. of ...
Lascells of Sowerby
[pedigree continues for several generations]
From "Yorkshire Pedigrees":
John Catterick of Stanwick, "Inq. p. m. d. 6 Oct 1478"; m. Lucy, dau. of
William Burgh of Burgh, by Elizabeth, dau. of Christopher Conyers of Hornby
John Catterick of Stanwick, "died aged 30"; m. Grace, dau. of ... Lambert
of Oswton, Co. Durham
William Catterick of Stanwick, "died 30 Sep 1551, Inq. p. m. 6 Apr 1552";
m. Margaret, dau. of John Saltmarsh of Saltmarsh, by Lucy, dau. of Wm. Burgh
[pedigree continues for several more generations]
There is also a less helpful pedigree of the family (this time spelled
Caterike) in "Visitations of the North" (vol. 146 of the Surtees Society),
which is apparently from the 1575 visitation of Yorkshire. The first few
generations of this pedigree are:
John Caterike of Stanwigge in Com. Richmond, m. daughter of NN
John Caterike, m. Grace "doughter to ... Lambert in Epatu"
William Caterike, "eldeset sonne", m. Margaret, "doughter to Saltmersh of
Saltmersh"
[pedigree continues]
Aside from obvious questions about the number of generations preceding
William Catterick, an interesting point is that the pedigrees indicate that
William married a grand-daughter of a William Burgh, probbaly the father of
the William Burgh who married a Conyers daughter. If this is so, and either
his father or grandfather John also married a Burgh, there definitely should
have been a dispensation here, since William and his wife may have been as
close as first cousins once [or twice?] removed. Something seems amiss
here....
A side note: the younger brother of the Richard who starts the first
pedigree was John Cateryck, who was bishop successively of St. David's,
Lichfield and Coventry, and (very briefly) Coventry. He died in Florence in
1419 and is buried there in the church of Santa Croce. He is covered [under
the name Ketterich] in the old DNB.
BTW, for those who may be interested, William Girlington (and his Catterick
wife) and his elder brother Nicholas are ancestors of, among others, Prince
William.

Dear John,
Thanks for your post of this morning (OZ time), with the details
from the varied (and varying) Catterick pedigrees.
I have made a more detailed extraction of William Brown's article
below, although there are few more relevant details (other than the
extended pedigree) than I offered in the earlier posts [1]. I note
that the Catterick pedigree in Hunter's provides interesting details
on the earlier generations, but that (comparing same to Brown, HSP
and Surtees Soc. 146) it appears this pedigree conflates two John
Cattericks: (A) the father, m. Lucy Burgh or Borough, whose IPM was
dated 1478, and (B) the son, who evidently m. Grace Lambert. I also
wonder about the HSP statement that the son 'died aged 30': this may
an erroneous statement drawn from the father's IPM wherein it was
stated that the son was then aged 30. John Catterick the son died
in 1509 or before, as his IPM is dated 24 Hen. VII (1508/09). It
appears the herald may have somehow taken 1478 as a birth date
for the younger John, giving an apparent age at death (1508) of 30.
This certainly is an error.
I have altered the chart I posted previously (shown below) to
reflect certain chronological data, some documented and some
conjectured. The dates related to the IPM of John Catterick (1478)
and the life events of William Girlington, Katherine Hildyard and
their children are the most certain: others are obvious suppositions.

The Catterick pedigree appears solid from William Catterick (died
30 Sept 1551, IPM 65 Apr 1552) onward. Compared to the above, this
provides no chronological proof or disproof, but also appears
reasonable: Katherine (Hildyard) (Haldenby) Girlington, the widow of
William Catterick's first cousin (William Girlington) died in 1539 or
1540, and was probably near in age to William Catterick (again,
supporting documentation lacking on this point).
Additional documentation is certainly welcome and desirable, but
it does appear from the above that the descent as presented is
chronologically reasonable.
Cheers,
John
NOTES
[1] William Brown, "The Catterick Brass," The Yorkshire
Archaeological Journal (Leeds: John Whitehead & Sons,
1907), XIX:74-75 (pedigree, p. 76). This portion of
the article states re: Elizabeth Tempest:
' The descent of her husband, Anthony Catterick, is not so
clear. Plantagenet Harrison [Hist. of Yorkshire, i. 498] says
that William de Cateryck, a citizen and mercer of York,
purchased the manor of Stanwigges before 1 Hen. IV (1399-1400).
No authority is given for this statement, and it seems to be
contradicted by the inquisition [Add. MS. No. 26722, fo. 113],
made after the death of John Catterick, who died on Oct. 6,
18 Edw. IV. (1478), leaving a son, John, aged thirty and
upwards. From this inquisition it would appear that Catterick
was only seised of a messuage and carucate of land in
"Standwyll", worth ten marks a year, and held of the prior of
St. John of Jerusalem, and did not possess the manor.
The inq. post mortem of the younger John Catterick was
taken in 24 Henry VII (1508-9) [Chancery Inq. p.m., 24 Henry
VII., No. 5 (Vol. xx. Series 2.)] It is very difficult to
read, but appears to give the same information as that
contained in his father's.

Dear John,
Thanks also for noting that Prince William is a descendant of
William Girlington and Katherine Hildyard, in addition to his
elder brother Nicholas Girlington. This is one of many
interesting descents from Isabel (Girlington) (Kelke) Tyrwhitt by
her second marriage.
There are a number of interesting non-emigrant descents from
Isabel's Kelke issue. I am continuing to compile data on these
descents, but would like to note that these currently are known
to include
- Sir James Alan Barlow, 4th Baronet Barlow of Wimpole Street
- Sir Anthony Thomas Farrer, 5th Baron Farrer of Abinger
- the author James Anson Farrer
- the noted gardener Reginald Farrer
- Francis-Hawkesworth Fawkes, Esq. of Farnley,
- John MacLeod, 29th Chief of MacLeod
- John Stafford Northcote, 5th Earl of Iddesleigh
- the issue of Godfrey Wentworth, Esq., of Woolley Park and
his wife Amelia Farrer
More to follow.
Cheers,
John
John Higgins
agree that, based on the information we have available, the descent appears
to make chronological sense. Given the problems in the "Hunter's Pedigrees"
version of the family in conflating two Johns and possibly duplicating a
William and a John, I'm inclined to discount the earlier generations it
offers without further proof.
I still am a bit bemused by the apparent intermarriage on the Burgh side of
this family, which seems to play out as below:
William Burgh m. Maud Lascells
Maud Burgh m. John Saltmarsh
Margaret Saltmarsh m. William Catterick
William Burgh m. Maud Lascells
William Burgh m. Elizabeth Conyers
Lucy Burgh m. John Catterick
John Catterick m. Grace Lambert
William Catterick m. Margaret Saltmarsh
If this is correct, William Catterick married his grandmother's first
cousin - possible I suppose but suspicious on the basis of both chronology
and consanguinity.
BTW, my earlier note said the William Girlington's wife was a Catterick - in
fact, as John R's note points out, it was his mother (not his wife) that was
a Catterick.
