Possible Clue for the Identity of Constance (----------) Percy-Eure:


From Collins's Peerage of England (1812), revised by Sir Egerton Brydges,
K.J., v. 2, p. 287:

"As for JOHN PERCY, Esq. son and heir of Sir Henry Percy, Knt. and grandson
of Sir Ralph Percy, he apparently succeeded to the estates at Hasand, &c. of
his grandmother Eleanor daughter and heiress of Laurence Acton, Esq....; who
outlived her eldest grandson Sir Henry Percy, many years. The said John
Percy also enjoyed a part of the lands at Newton by the sea (not far from
Bamburgh) which should seem at a former period, (viz. in 1498) to have belonged to
Sir John Myddylton, Knt. Whence it has been conjectured, that his mother was
a coheiress, or at least a relation of the said Sir John."

John Percy had by 1519 given part of his land near Newton-by-the-Sea to his
sister Margery (Percy) Widdrington-Ellerker, who in a 1519 Roll of the Knights
Court at Alnwick (Alnwick Evidences, D. II. No. 5. d.) is listed as Lady
Woddrington.
