A very happy New Year to all on SocGenMed. Last week I started my final genealogy project of the year, one that will definitely carry me into the first couple months of 2015: entering the Norfolk article from the 2003 edition of Burke's Peerage into my database. I enjoy studying the Howard family - I've visited Arundel and Framlingham Castles, and hope to someday visit the family's northern abodes, like Castle Howard and Naworth Castle. I'm currently on the branch of the Howards at Corby Castle in Cumberland (pp. 2907-2908). Since the newsgroup seems a little slow at the moment, I figured I'd start up a series of Edward III descents for the various Howard spouses.
First up is Hon. Maria Archer, the first wife of Henry Howard of Corby Castle (1757-1842), who has a bio in ODNB. Leo has Maria in his Genealogics database, with some ancestry, and only a single line back to Edward III, here:
http://www.genealogics.org/getperson.php?personID=I00116268&tree=LEO
Hon. Maria Archer was born 4 January at Umberslade Hall, Tanworth-in-Arden, Warwickshire, and baptized 31 January 1765 at St Mary Magdalen Church, Tanworth-in-Arden (IGI Batch #P017361). She married Henry Howard on 26 November 1788 at St Andrew Church, Glaston, Rutlandshire, and died a year later, on 9 November 1789 at Corby Castle, with no issue. She was buried at Holy Trinity Church, Wetheral, Cumberland, where there is an elaborate monument to her.
Maria has 15 lines of descent from Edward III, in addition to the one Leo has (which is Line A below). All 16 lines are laid out below, with links to the most recent individuals in Leo's database for each.
