Singleton of Suffolk

Legg inn av markhagelin2005@yahoo.com » 20 aug 2005 20:52:52

Seeking ancestry of Edmond/Edmund Singleton of Mendlesham, Suffolk,
England born about 1456 Thwaite, Norfolk, England . I believe Edmond
to be a cadet branch of Singleton of Lancashire [Singleton of
Singleton].

The Arms of Singleton of Singleton:
Argent three chevronels gules.

The Arms of Singleton of Staining:
Argent three chevronels gules with the addition of three martlets two
in chief and one in base sable.

The Arms of Singleton of Suffolk [Syngleton]
[The Visitations of Norfolk 1563, 1589, and 1613 pg 278]
Harl 1552, ink fo. 172, pencil 166
Argent, three chevronels gules between as many martlets sable.


If the martlets are a mark of cadency, they suggest a fourth son of
Singleton of Lancashire. But at what point and place in time?



Edmond married ????????
Children:
1)Edward Syngleton, his heir
2)William Syngleton born about 1490 married Elizabeth Cornwallis dau of
Sir William Cornwallis and Elizabeth Stanford
Their daughter Elizabeth married Frances Gascoigne
3)Margaret Syngleton born about 1482 married Edward Wrighte

There were no rules in mediaeval heraldry, although there were at different
times fashions that might or might not be followed. Certainly I would not
expect the differencing of a coat of arms by the addition of three martlets
to mean anything more than an attempt by some (unspecified) younger son to
difference his father's arms.

The many sons from different generations of Neville of Raby demonstrate of
how one particular family in the fifteenth century chose to difference the
paternal arms. Thomas, Lord Furnival, who used a single martlet for
difference, was probably a second son. Later on, other families chose
similar methods and, in modern times, heralds decided these constituted
'rules' of cadency. But in England such rules have always been fairly
haphazard, especially compared to the very structured methods used in Scots
heraldry.

Whilst it is always interesting to see how genealogy throws light on
heraldic development, heraldry rarely provides any more than a fitful gleam
on genealogy.

I don't usually refer to marks of cadency. From what I understand there
were 6 branches of Singleton.

I've traced at least 2 of them into each other. I'm working on the
others.

I am surprized that others have not done any work.

Can someone check and possible e-mail a copy of the singleton pedigree
from the Visitation of Suffolk?

Currently my research is limited to web-based resources and I have no
library access.
