Bulkelegh of Eaton

Legg inn av paul bulkley » 30 mar 2005 05:13:55

A number of genealogical authorities quote the
Cheshire Bulkelegh Family Line of "Eaton". I have yet
to find any evidence offering an explanation of the
name "Eaton"

I note in VCH for Cheshire Vol.5 some references to
"Richard the Engineer". He acquired some properties in
Cheshire 1180-1200. In 1194 he settled the Manor of
Eaton to his daughter when she married. At that time
he had assembled a large estate in Belgrave in Eaton.

Robert Bulkelegh, one of a number of sons of William
Bulkelegh/Maud Davenport is quoted to be of "Eaton" in
the late 1200s.

Is it possible that he married the daughter of Richard
the Engineer?

Sincerely Yours,

Paul Bulkley

No idea.

But Ormerod's Cheshire, 2nd edition of 1882, in Vol 3, p. 752, says that
a second son Robert de Bulkyley had Eaton in Davenham his father,
William de Bulkley, and lands nearby from his brother William.

P. 265 of the same volume gives some chapter and verse and says "before
5 Edw II Matthew de Alperham, or Alpram, granted by charter the town of
Eyton to Robert de Bulkilegh". This Robert was the father of the above
William.
