Dear Newsgroup ~
Complete Peerage 6 (1926): 361 (sub Hastings) has a good account of Sir Hugh Hastings, of Fenwick, Yorkshire, who died 7 June 1488. Regarding his marriage to Anne Gascoigne, the following information is provided:
"He married, before 12 April 1455, Anne, daughter of Sir William Gascoigne, of Gawthorpe, co. York, by Margaret, daughter of Thomas Clarelle, of Aldwark in that county. He [Hugh] died 7 June 1488. Will dated 20 June 1487, proved 16 Jan. 1489/90. His wife survived him." END OF QUOTE.
No documentation is provided by Complete Peerage for this marriage, but it is confirmed by the following visitation record:
Harvey et al. Vis. of the North 4 (Surtees Soc. 146) (1932): 45 (Hastings ped.: “Sir Hugh Hastings = Anne d. to Sir Wm. Gascoyn of Galthorp”).
A transcript of the will of Sir Hugh Hastings is published in Testamenta Eboracensia 3 (Surtees Soc. 45) (1865): 273–278. This item may be viewed at the following weblink:

The transcript indicates that the will is dated 20 June 1482, not 1487. The will was proved 16 Jan. 1489 [i.e., 1489/90] by the executrix, presumably the widow Anne.
Recently I located a lawsuit which proves that Anne Gascoigne, widow of Sir Hugh Hastings, married (2nd) before 1490 to Edward Savage, Esq., of Fenwick, Yorkshire.
In 1490 Edmund Hastings, William Tunstall, esq., and others, executors of Edmund Hastings, Knt., sued Edward Savage, Esq., of Fenwick, and Anne his wife, widow and executrix of Hugh Hastings, Knt., of Fenwick, and two others in the Court of Common Pleas regarding a debt [Reference: Court of Common Pleas, CP40/911, rot. 535d (available at
