Dear Newsgroup ~
Complete Peerage, 9 (1936): 548–549 (sub Newmarch) includes mention of Sir Ralph Newmarch, of Womersley, Yorkshire, and Whatton, Nottinghamshire, who was slain at Shrewsbury in 1403. This account gives the following brief information regarding Sir Ralph Newmarch and his wife, Elizabeth Newmarch:
"Ralph [Newmarch] (who married Elizabeth — Ch. Inq. p. m., 36 Hen. VI, no. 37 — daughter and coh. of Hugh Newmarch of Whatton ..." END OF QUOTE.
A full transcript of the will of Sir Ralph Newmarch is published in Testamenta Eboracensia 1 (Surtees Soc. 4) (1836): 303. The transcript may be viewed at the following weblink:
http://books.google.com/books?id=t-suAAAAMAAJ&pg=PA303
The will is dated 22 July 1403, proved 12 August 1403. The testator leaves all of his goods to his wife, Elizabeth, who he names his sole executrix.
Collectanea Topographica et Genealogica 6 (1840): 394 (sub Newmarch) contains additional information regarding Elizabeth Newmarch, wife of Sir Ralph Newmarch:
"Thomas [Newmarch] had a son of the same name, who dying without issue, Elizabeth his aunt became sole heir; she married to Ralph Newmarch, whose lineal ancestor John was uncle of that Adam abovementioned who married Elizabeth Mowbray. She had a son Robert Newmarch, who died in her lifetime, ao 35 Hen. VI. and who by Joan his wife, daughter of Sir Hugh Shelley [recte Shirley], left an only daughter Elizabeth, who, upon the death of her grandmother Elizabeth, in 36 Henry VI. was found to be sole heir, then of the age of forty years, and wife of John Neville, of Althorpe, in the county of Lincoln, son of Ralph Lord Neville of Oversley." END OF QUOTE.
As per the above account, Elizabeth Newmarch, widow of Sir Ralph Newmarch, died in 35 Henry VI, that is, 1456-57, leaving her grand-daughter, Elizabeth Newmarch, wife of John Neville, Esq., as her heiress. I presume that this is the same inquisition post mortem that Complete Peerage mentions as being 36 Henry VI, that is, 1457-58. So what is the correct date?
The correct date of the inquisition post mortem is 36 Henry VI, as indicated by the item below found in the online Discovery catalogue:
"Newmarche, Elizabeth: Notts
Chancery: Inquisitions Post Mortem, Series I, Henry VI. Newmarche, Elizabeth: Notts.
Collection: Records created, acquired, and inherited by Chancery, and also of the Wardrobe, Royal Household, Exchequer and various commissions
Date range: 01 September 1457 - 31 August 1458
Reference:C 139/169/37
Subjects:Landed estates" END OF QUOTE:
Elsewhere I've located a Common Pleas lawsuit dated 1417 which mentions Elizabeth Newmarch, widow, of Womersley, Yorkshire:
In 1417 William Bromhale, of Leicestershire, draper, sued Elizabeth Numarche [Newmarch], of Wymbersley [Womersley], Yorkshire, widow in the Court of Common Pleas regarding a debt of £9 10s. [Reference: Court of Common Pleas, CP40/624, rot. 18f].

Doesn't the Collectanea T & G reference say it was Elizabeth Newmarche's son Robert, not Elizabeth herself, who died in 35 Hen VI? (Though even if it did say she died in 35 Hen VI, that could be quite consistent with an IPM held in 36 Hen VI.)

Dear Matt ~
You're quite correct, of course. Collectanea Topographica et Genealogica which I quoted states that Elizabeth Newmarch, wife of Ralph Newmarch, died in 36 Henry VI, whereas it was her son and heir apparent, Robert Newmarch, who died in 35 Henry VI. Mea culpa. I got my eye on the wrong line when I was typing. Even so, I can't seem to locate an inquisition for Elizabeth's son, Robert Newmarch, if one ever existed.
Elsewhere I find that Throsby, Thoroton’s History of Nottinghamshire 1 (1790): 265–267 includes a pedigree and some helpful material regarding the family and extended ancestry of Elizabeth Newmarch, wife of Sir Ralph Newmarch. Thoroton's History may be viewed at the following weblink:
http://books.google.com/books?id=03tbAAAAQAAJ&pg=PA265
Below is a transcript of some of Thoroton's comments:
"This Thomas Newmarch, then call the elder, because his Son was also Thomas, had Market and Fair granted, 12 E. 3 [1338-39], as well as Free-warren in this Lordship ... which said Thomas Newmarch, his son, left it to Hugh Newmarch, his Son and Heir, who, by Fine, 1 R. 2. settled this Manor on himself and his wife Alina, and the Heirs of their Bodies, with Remainder to the right Heirs of the said Hugh. The Lands which were Margaret's, who had been Wife of Richard Reynes, one of the Daughters and Heirs of High Newmarch, Chr. 8 July, 11 H. 4 [1410] were to be seized. But Elizabeth, Daughter and Heir of the said Hugh, was married to Raph Newmarch, Son of Robert, Son of Adam, Son of Adam, Son of John, Owners of Bentley, in Yorkshire, which afterwards descended with this Manor. This Raph and Elizabeth Newmarch, had a Son called Robert, who had an only Daughter, named Elizabeth, married to John Nevile, of Althorp, in the County of Lincolne; whom the said Elizabeth, her Grandmother, over-living her said Son Robert, had a Mind to disinherit, and thereupon enfeoffed John, Duke of Norfolk, and Ralph Laventhorp, Clerk, of this Manor, and by that Means thought to convey it to Thomas Newmarch, Esquire, and the Heirs of his Body : But the Duke, after the Death of Leventhorp, not liking the Design, conveyed it to the Grandmother for Life; the Remainder to the said Elizabeth, the Wife of John Nevile, and the Heirs of her Body; who accordingly succeeded, and left a Daughter and Heir, named Joane, the Wife of Sir William Gascoigne, Knight ..." END OF QUOTE.
I note that Thoroton above makes Elizabeth (Newmarch) Newmarch to be the co-heiress of her father, Sir Hugh Newmarch, whereas Collectanea Topographica et Heraldica which I cited earlier makes her to be the sole heiress of her nephew, Thomas Newmarch. I suspect Thoroton is correct, but this matter deserves further study.
For interest's sake, below are four records which pertain to Sir Hugh Newmarch(e), Knt., of Whatton, Nottinghamshire, the father of Elizabeth (Newmarch) Newmarch. The first three records are taken from the online Discovery Catalogue. These records indicate that Hugh Newmarche was Escheator of Nottinghamshire and Derbyshire, 1379-81. The fourth record is a feet of fine dated 1378 for Sir Hugh Newmarch and his wife, Aline, which involves the settlement of the manor of Whatton, Nottinghamshire. This record is taken from Chris Phillips' collection of feet of fines on his website, Some Notes of Medieval English Genealogy. This same fine is mentioned by Thoroton quoted above.

Dear Newsgroup ~
Shaw, History & Antiquities of Staffordshire 1 (1798): 194 indicates that Sir Hugh Newmarch, Knt., living 10 Richard II [1386-7] married Aline, widow of Thomas Mauveysyn (or Mauveisin, Malveysin, Mavesine), of Ridware Mavesyn (or Mavesine-Ridware), Staffordshire. In 1373-4 Sir Hugh Newmarche, Knt. held the manor of Ridware Mavesyn, Staffordshire in right of his wife, Aline's dower. Presumably this Sir Hugh Newmarch and his wife, Aline, are the same couple as the parents of Elizabeth Newmarch, wife of Sir Ralph Newmarch.

http://babel.hathitrust.org/cgi/pt?id=mdp.39015082091797;view=1up;seq=248
Erdeswicke indicates that Thomas de Mavesine (presumably the 1st husband of Aline) "had issue sir Robert Mavesine, knight, slain at the battle of Shrewsbury [1403], ex parte regis, as his monument in Mavesine-Ridware saith ... The said sir Robert left behind him two daughters, Elizabeth and Margaret, who were his heirs: Elizabeth was married to sir John Cawardine, knt. and Margaret was married to sir William Hansacre, knt." END OF QUOTE.
Assuming Aline was the mother of both Sir Robert Mavesine and Elizabeth (Newmarch) Newmarch, it would appear that she lost both a son and a son-in-law at the Battle of Shrewsbury in 1403.

In an earlier post today I stated the following:
"Margaret's, who had been Wife of Richard Reynes, one of the Daughters and Heirs of High Newmarch, Chr."
"Margaret's, who had been Wife of Richard Reynes, one of the Daughters and Heirs of Hugh Newmarch, Chr."

Dear Newsgroup ~
I find that there is a transcript in English of the 1458 inquisition post mortem of Elizabeth Newmarch, widow of Sir Ralph Newmarch, published in Renshaw, Inquisitions Post Mortem relating to Nottinghamshire 1437–1485 (Thoroton Soc. Recs. 17) (1956): 46–47.
A snippet view of this inquisition is available at the following weblink:
http://books.google.com/books?ei=Wn03UvGpF--WyAHPxoDACQ&id=WZhnAAAAMAAJ&dq=%22Hugh+nEWMARCHE+Knt.%22&q=Newmarche#search_anchor
The inquisition is dated 22 July 1458.
The 1378 fine of Elizabeth's parents, Hugh (son of Thomas) Newmarch, and his wife, Aline, regarding the manor of Whatton, Nottinghamshire is mentioned on page 46. The actual fine was quoted in an earlier post in this thread.
There is additional information on the Newmarch family elsewhere in the same volume on page 85-86. These pages have the 1482 inquisition post mortem for John Nevyle [Neville], Esq. [died 1482]. He was the husband of Elizabeth Newmarch, grand-daughter and heiress of the elder Elizabeth Newmarch who died in 1458.

Dear Newsgroup ~
The following important record pertaining to the Newmarch family of Womersley, Yorkshire and Whatton, Nottinghamshire is taken from the original records of the Duchy of Lancaster. A copy of the record was published many years ago in Genealogical Magazine, 2 (1899): 553–554, which may be viewed in the following weblink:
http://books.google.com/books?id=mIJPAAAAYAAJ&pg=PA553
The item reads as follows. The information in brackets has been added partly by the original editor and partly by me.
"Evidence returned in consequence of the petition of Johanna [Joan], formerly wife of Robert Newmarche, Esq., writ dated 15 February, 7 Henry [V.]. [i.e., 1419/20].
An Inquisition was taken in Lent, 4 Hen. V. [i.e., 8 March 1415/6 thru 16 April 1416] (enrolled on the Court Roll of the Honour of Pontefract), when the jury returned that Ralph Newmarche, knight, tempe Richard [II.], executed a trust-deed respecting his manor of Wilmersley, etc., co. York, making provision for himself and his wife Elizabeth for life, his son Thomas, and Thomas's younger sons, and for his daughter Elizabeth. In 3 Hen. V. [i.e., 1415-16] the trustees enfeoffed petitioner, formerly wife of Robert, son of the said Sir Ralph Newmarche, with land in Wilmersley, etc., contrary to the said Ralph's intent; Sir Ralph died in the battle of Shrewsbury [1403]. Robert, his son, died at Dover on his return from 'Harreflewe' [Harfleur], after Michaelmas last [i.e., 29 Sept. 1415]. Ralph, son of the said Robert, is Sir Ralph's heir, and is aged one year and more; he has been carried off to some place unknown by Dame Beatrice de Shirlay and the said Johanna [Joan]. The lands were afterwards let to Elizabeth, widow of the said Sir Ralph, during the minority of the heir. Vol. i, no. 33." END OF QUOTE.
We learn from the above record that Robert Newmarch, Esq., died at Dover, Kent shortly after 29 Sept. 1415. He was apparently one of the numerous victims of dysentery who fell ill and died during and after the Siege of Harfleur in Normandy. The siege began 18 August 1415 and ended on 22 September 1415, when Harfleur surrendered to the English. We also learn from the above record that Robert Newmarch was survived by his widow, Joan, and his infant son, Ralph, aged one. The infant son Ralph was subsequently taken in custody by his mother, Joan, and his maternal grandmother, Lady Beatrice de Shirley.
Thus it would appear that Collectanea Topographica et Genealogica 6 (1840): 394 was completely in error when it stated that Robert Newmarch died in 35 Henry VI [i.e., 1456-7]. The author was only off by forty years.
