Cecily of York (b. 20 March 1469, d. 242 August 1507) married probably at
Christmastide 1487 John Welles (b. ca 1449, d. 9 Feb. 1499), *de jure*
tenth baron Welles (writ 1299, succeeded ca 1474), created viscount Welles in
December 1485 or between December 1485 and 8 Feb. 1486. The marriage produced
two daughters, neither of whom survived infancy. The names Elizabeth and
Anne are traditionally associated with these children but nothing really seems
to be known of them, not even dates of birth and death. (CP)

Cecily married second, between 13 May 1502 and March 1504, Thomas Kyme or
Kymbe, described as "esq., of the Isle of Wight." I have seen alleged
descents from issue of this marriage, but their authenticity is dubious.
