On Leo's great website here

we see Sir Edward Mansel married Lady Jane Somerset, daughter of Henry Somerset, 2nd Earl of Worcester by his wife Elizabeth Browne.

Leo shows no further particulars on this family, however
"A Descriptive Catalogue of the Penrice and Margam Abbey Manuscripts" which I previously cited states that Edward and Jane did have children. They mention several but two are of particular interest to me.

Sir Thomas Mansel, Knt of Margam "eldest son" d 20 Dec 1631 buried at Margam, married Mary Mordaunt daughter of Lewis, 3rd Lord Mordaunt by his wife Elizabeth Darcy. By this union Thomas had at least one child Sir Lewis Mansel "eldest son" d 4 Apr 1638 who married Elizabeth Montagu "first daughter" of Henry Montagu, 1st Earl of Manchester (d 7 Nov 1642) by his wife Catherine Spencer. Lewis and Elizabeth had at least one child Sir Edward Mansel b Oct/Nov 1637 d 17 Nov 1706 married Martha Carne "co-heiress of her father" d 1 Jul 1703. Edward and Martha had at least one child Thomas Lord Mansel of Margum b 9 Nov 1667 married Martha Millington, having a son Robert Mansel who married Anne Shovell previously cited as a co-heiress of her father Admiral Cloudsley Shovell (who d 22 Oct 1707 murdered after being shipwrecked in the Scilly Isles).

Edward Mansel has at least a dozen unique royal lines.

Sir Thomas Mansel after the death of his first wife Mary Mordaunt, married secondly Jane Powle daughter of Thomas Powle Esq. She was buried at Margam 14 Mar 1623 after having at least one child Mary Mansel who married Sir Edward Stradling, 2nd Bart son of John Stradling Bart by his wife Elizabeth Gage.

Edward Stradling likewise has a number of unique royal lines.

Another son of Edward Mansel and Jane Somerset that is of interest to me is their Fourth Son Robert Mansel, Knt and Vice Admiral of England tempe Charles I who married Elizabeth Bacon daughter of Sir Nicholas Bacon, 1st Bart of Redgrave (d 1624) by his wife Anne Butts (d 1616)

If anyone should have a canned biography on Robert Mansel the Vice Admiral I'd like to see it.

Thanks
