Subject: Re: Elizabeth la Ware, wife of Sir Edmund Bacon
Dear Michael,
Elizabeth la Warre was an otherwise unknown daughter of John la
Warre, 2nd Lord la Warre (d. 9 May 1347) and his wife Joan de Grelle.
Her brother John, named in her will, died in their father's lifetime
(before 24 June 1331): by his wife Margaret de Holand, he was father
of Roger, 3rd Lord la Warre (d. 27 Aug 1370), ancestor of the Lords
Delaware (West family). Elziabeth's sister Katherine was the wife of
Robert de Brewes of Akenham (dsp 1325), both of whom were alive and
mentioned in this will.
An interesting will; as you mention in your other post, there is
a great deal of interesting (and sometimes helpful) information in the
many wills printed by Gibbons.
Cheers,
John
The above message has a misleading (not intended, I know) piece of
information. "Elizabeth's sister Katherine was the wife of Robert de Brewes
of Akenham (dsp 1325)". This seems to imply that only her brother John had
descendants. but not so.
I found in my system that I had Katherine but married to Warin Le Latimer,
de jure lord Latimer. My sources were Gary Boyd Roberts 600 Immigrants and
Weiss Ancestral Roots, 7th edition, page 96 there is indicated that the
Latimer husband was her second. Of course I should have gone to CP Volume
VII page 453 where both her husbands are mentioned.
I had a look and this Katherine has some fascinating descendants.
Gateways : Hon. Simon Lynde, regicide Edward Whalley, Edward Hyde.
Queens Mary II and Anne, the late Princess of Wales and Sarah Ferguson,
Duchess of York, Camilla the Duchess of Cornwall and many others.
I have made a file and if anyone is interested, let me know.
With best wishes
