Descents From Edward III For Marmaduke Anne (d. 1722)

The surname Anne is said to be of Norman origin and to still be in use
in Normandy today. One Sir William de Anne is found in early 14th-
century records and the family appears to have been seated at
Frickley, in the West Riding, 7 Miles N.W. of Doncaster. After the
mid-15th century, the family never achieved more than local
significance. They intermarried with other West Riding gentry
families (Goldsborough, Bosville of Newhall, Preston of Hickleton),
and appeared regularly at the 16th-century Visitations.

John Anne (d. 1545) rose in local administrative service to eventually
become a Justice of the Peace for the West Riding from 1537-42. It
was John’s raised profile that allowed him to arrange a marriage in
about 1544 for his eldest son and heir, Christopher Anne, to Anne
Fairfax, a younger daughter of Sir Nicholas Fairfax, a former M.P. and
the current sheriff of Yorkshire. Walton, one of the chief seats of
the Fairfaxes, was in the West Riding, but the family was prominent on
the county-wide level, and the marriage, which intersected the Annes
with the bloodline of Edward III, stood to raise the family profile
even higher. Sadly, Christopher Anne of Frickley (1521-1546) died
within two years of his marriage, without issue, followed soon by his
young wife (Anne Anne was certainly dead by the 1558 Visitation of the
Fairfax family). Frickley and the other family properties passed to
Christopher’s next oldest brother Martin Anne (1522-1582), but it
would be a hundred years before the family re-intersected with the
Edward IIII bloodline.

The Annes became one of the staunchest Catholic families in the West
Riding, and paid dearly for their recusancy. Martin’s son and heir
George Anne (1552-1620) was forced to sell one of the family
properties, the manor of Roall, in 1604, due to large debts accrued
from recusancy convictions. His wife brought the nearby manor of
Burghwallis, 61â
