use of Mrs.
when women are listed in 16th and 17th century as Mrs, does this imply they
are widows, or is it simply a courtesy title? I thought it meant the women
were widowed, but see instances (as in below) where this was the woman's
maiden name.

Re: use of Mrs.
sad to think so many women lost to history as Mrs. Atilla or (!) Mrs.
Grandfather Banks. I expect in the latter case grandfather's name had been
lost too.

I am pleased to report that he was a George, and she a Sarah nee

two bad-tempered aunts.
It is true, though, and sad, that many women are known only by virtue
of having been someone's daughter, wife or mother, and their own
identity in many cases has not come down to us.

You may already know this, but Anne was the twenty year old daughter
of Sir Robert Whitney of Whitney and Anne Lucy. See the following page

Re: use of Mrs.
Thanks, Tim, I hadn't seen this before and it is fascinating. Love the
Shakespeare reference and the story about the woman purported to have been
buried alive, which I had read before in a book on the subject (ok, I have
odd tastes).
It is interesting that Ann was from such a large family as I seem to
remember something about an inheritance of a castle, which ended up being
split by her sisters or something as her son Robert was then dead.

I have Anne's death date down as 1651, and her son Robert Rodd's dates
as 1637-1681; I'll dig out more details but am pretty sure it's from
the Rev. C. J. Robinson's 'Mansions and Manors of
Herefordshire' (1873). I descend from Robert's daughter Lucy via the
Prices of Foxley.
