Dear Douglas and others,
MCA p 900 (sub Worden) says Margaret
Ratcliffe wife of John Ratcliffe, Esq of the tower was married 20 June 1471
to Nicholas Rishton, Esq of Dunkenhalgh, Lancashire who was born abt 1454- died
May 3, 1508, Margaret died July 6, 1528 She and her husband having had issue
three sons Richard , Henry and Nicholas Rishton and three daughters Agnes (
Rishton) (Holcroft) Worthington, Isabel (Rishton) Hothersall and Elizabeth
(Rishton) Nowell. I have been seeking to identify Margaret`s mother and a number
of things at rootweb give her father as John Radcliffe of the the tower died
1410 and wife Joan Tempest. even is postumous that would make her at least 118
years old when She died and some 44 years her husband`s elder at marriage, so
obviously She wasn`t their daughter and besides Joan Tempest married Sir
James Ratcliffe of the Tower. However, an on-line addendum to the Genealogy
written by Clarence Ratcliffe by Donald Ratcliffe of the Ancestors of Richard
Radcliffe of Talbot County , Maryland indicates the following ;
13 Sir James Ratcliffe of the Tower b 1355- d 1409 m Joan Tempest
14 Sir Richard Radcliffe b 1379- 1442 m Cecilia Ashton
15 James Radcliffe b 1414- d 1446 m 1) Agnes Euby, 2) Cecily
16 John Radcliffe b 1429- d 1485 m Isabel Tyldesley
17 John Radcliffe b 1459- d 1513 m Anne Tyldesley
Assuming this is the correct data and that each of these successive
generations was the Lord of the Manor, then probably Margaret was a daughter of
#16 John Ratcliffe / Radcliffe and Isabel Tyldesley whose children are said to
have included Richard, Henry, John, Roger, Hugh, Margery and Lucy the latter
two said on Radcliffe 02 (Stirnet) to have been married to a Longworth and a
Leycester respectively. It also contains the James and Joan Tempest error I
alluded to earlier and makes them the parents of Margaret ( Radcliffe) Rishton
instead of her 2nd Great grandparents which appears more likely. In Conclusion I
believe, based on the circumstansial evidence at hand, that Margery who
married Longworth was also known as Margaret and first ? married to Nicholas
Rishton.
Sincerely,
