Descents From Edward III For Sir Francis Trappes Birnand (15

The Birnands are an interesting Yorkshire gentry family in that rather
than having any number of country manors for landed holdings, they
were town-based. As early as the 1330s, the Birnands can be found in
the Court Rolls of Knaresborough, and by the mid-15th century, the
family held substantial properties in and around that West Riding
town, including burgages and land in the town fields. Their chief
property was Birnand (aka Byrnand) Hall in the heart of the town. The
honour of Knaresborough was held by the Nevill family for most of the
15th century, and the Birnands were active supporters of Richard
Nevill, earl of Salisbury. Robert Birnand (d. 1502) was an esquire of
the body to Richard III, and his son John Birnand (d. by 1545) was
appointed in 1526 receiver of Knaresborough and Pontefract, for life.
He and his son John Birnand (d. 1565) were active in local
administration, and worked often with John Norton of Norton Conyers
(d. 1557), so it was a natural match when the younger John Birnand's
son and heir Robert Birnand married by 1550, Anne Norton,
granddaughter of John Norton and a descendant of Edward III. Robert
and Anne had four children before she died, by 1560. Robert then took
a second wife, on 30 September 1561, Anne Slingsby (descended from
Edward I), daughter of Thomas Slingsby of Scriven, and had two more
sons with her. He died before his father, in about 1564, making
provision for his second wife and their two sons on his deathbed.
Robert's younger brother, William Birnand of Knaresborough, survived
their father and achieved a good career, holding the office of
Recorder of York from 1573 until his death in 1582. William also
married into the Edward III bloodline, taking Grace Ingleby, daughter
of Sir William Ingleby of Ripley, as a wife. Their only child was a
daughter, Grace Birnand, who married Ralph Babthorpe of Babthorpe in
1578.

As for the children of Robert Birnand and Anne Norton, the two sons,
Francis Birnand and Richard Birnand (d. 1591) inherited, in turn,
Birnand Hall and the other family properties, but died without issue.
One daughter, Susan Birnand, married attorney Richard Hudson, and the
other daughter Anne Birnand married, in the late 1560s, Francis
Trappes of Nidd (3.5 miles from Knaresborough). Trappes was a younger
son of London merchant Robert Trappes, and his half-sister Philippa
Trappes had married by 1567, for her third husband, Richard Norton of
Norton Conyers, grandfather of Trappes's wife. After Francis
Trappes's death in 1574, Anne Birnand took one William Blount as her
second husband. She eventually inherited most of the Birnand
properties, and died on 11 December 1619. Her son and heir by her
first husband added Birnand to his surname. Francis Trappes Birnand
(born 1 April 1570, died 15 February 1642) was knighted in 1603, and
founded a line of Catholic gentry that continued well into the 19th
century, and possibly to the present. The fate of Robert Birnand's
sons, William and Edmund, by his second wife Anne Slingsby is more
difficult to work out. They were dependent on their uncle Francis
Slingsby of Scriven, and may have quarreled with their half-siblings,
as Richard Slingsby re-did his will in 1591 to make William Ingleby
supervisor and executor instead of half-brother William Birnand. It
was probably this William Birnand who died in Bristol in 1630, with
administration of his estate granted to his widow Anne in
Knaresborough. Edmund Birnand was living as late as 1636, but whether
either brother left issue, and for how many generations male-line
Birnand descendants of Edward I survived, is difficult to determine at
present.

The one descent of Sir Francis Trappes Birnand from Edward III thru
Joan Beaufort is as follows:

Joan Beaufort, Countess of Westmorland (c.1379-1440) had a son (A1).

A1) George Nevill, 1st Lord Latimer (c.1411-1469), who had
A2) Sir Henry Nevill (d. 1469) m. Joan Bourchier (d. 1470, descended
from Edward III but not thru Joan Beaufort), and had
A3) Richard Nevill, 2nd Lord Latimer (1468-1530) m. 1)1483 Anne
Stafford, and had
A4) Susan Nevill (1501-by 1565) m. Richard Norton of Norton Conyers (c.
1498-1585), and had
A5) Anne Norton (d. by 1560) m. c.1550 Robert Birnand of Knaresborough
(d. 1564), and had
A6) Anne Birnand (by 1555-1619) m. 1)c.1569 Francis Trappes of Nidd,
Yorks. (1530-1574), and had
A7) Sir Francis Trappes Birnand of Nidd (1570-1642)

FWIW (and admittedly OT) the family of Trappes-Byrnand [sic] has continued
well into the 20th century. They are covered in Burke's LG as least as
recently as the 18th edition of 1965. In the 19th century due to a marriage
[or two] they assumed the surname of Trappes-Lomax and show up in BLG under
that name.

These Edward III/Joan Beaufort descents have been very useful in filling in
gaps.....keep them coming!!

A couple of notes on the family of Birnand or Byrnand:

The will of Richard Birnand (d. 1591) is available on-line, transcribed from
vol. 104 of the Publications of the Surtees Society, together with an
extensive note on his family. See
http://www.knaresborough.co.uk/history/ ... irnand.htm. The same will is
also available via Google Books but with a less extensive note.

And a warning: There is a Birnand pedigree in the "Yorkshire Pedigrees"
series of the Harleian Society (HSP v. 94 p. 90), but it is very garbled, at
least inc omparison to the information posted by Brad and the info in the
will of Richard Birnand. The Robert who is identified by Brad as having
mar. (1) Anne Norton and (2) Anne Slingsby is split into two Roberts, father
and so, with Anne Slingsby the second wife said to be the mother of the
Robert who mar. Anne Norton. And William Birnand the brother of Robert, who
mar. Grace Ingleby, is said here to be the father of the "elder" Robert, not
a brother. What a mess!! Caveat lector....
