Also of interest, the 1584/5 visitation gives the elder Sir Thomas and
Katherine another sister Bridget. I wonder if this could be the Bridget,
1st wife of John Vavasour of Weston, who is called dau. of a Sir Thomas
Mauleverer of Allerton in Vavasour pedigrees. Does the 1530 visitation shed
any light on this?
Dear John,
The 1530 Visitation pedigree of the Mauleverers of Allerton is
relatively useless, providing merely heads of the family and the wives
in four generations, only giving the heir, with one exception.
So you have the pedigree starting with:
Sir John Mauleverer of Allerton, married the daughter of "John Bankes
of Whipley", and had a son and heir,
Sir Thomas Mauleverer of Allerton, married Elizabeth, daughter of
"John Delarever of Bransby", and had a son and heir,
Sir Richard Mauleverer of Allerton, married Jane, daughter of "Sir
Robert Plompton", and had issue, Thomas, son and heir; and "Raulff,
ijd son".
Thomas Mauleverer of Allerton, married Eleanor, daughter of "Syr Henri
Oughtred", and had a daughter Jane.
That's it. There was no further Visitation pedigree of the family
until Glover in 1585, which I have not yet seen.
To the above I can add a couple dates. Sir Richard Mauleverer was
contracted to marry Joan Plumpton, eldest child of Sir Robert Plumpton
and first wife Agnes Gascoigne, in 1492. Richard's father Sir Thomas
Mauleverer was alive when the marriage contract was made, but dead by
1495, survived by his wife Elizabeth (de la River, would probably be
the modern spelling).
We have to go back to the Visitation pedigree of the Mauleverers of
Allerton taken c.1480-85, but probably no later than 1480 (many of
these pedigrees seem to date to about 1480, for instance that of
Percy, Earls of Northumberland).
In that the issue of Sir John Mauleverer of Allerton and his wife
Alice Bank is: Thomas, married to Elizabeth de la River (but no
issue), Halnath (will proven 12 April 1502), Robert (will proven 14
August 1500), and one daughter, Grace, married to John Pulleyn (I.P.M.
1539/40), son of Ralph Pulleyn and Joan Burdet, with two sons, Ralph
and John.
My guess would be that the four children of Sir John Mauleverer above
were his only children, especially with daughter Grace married with
two sons by the time the pedigree was taken.
That leaves the issue of Sir Thomas Mauleverer (d.1492/95) and
Elizabeth de la River as the big gap, with no full accounting of them
given in the 1530 Visitation pedigree.
The c.1480-85 Visitation pedigree of Vavasour has John Vavasour of
Newton and Weston (will proven 25 Jan. 1551), and his two wives
(first, Bridget, daughter of "Sr Thos. Malyverer of Allerton; second,
Agnes, daughter of Sir William Calverley) "added later in another
hand".
In addition to Bridget Mauleverer Vavasour and Katherine Mauleverer
Aldborough, Sir Thomas Mauleverer of Allerton and Elizabeth de la
River may have had yet another daughter. The 1585 Visitation pedigree
of Copley of Doncaster has Edward Copley, son and heir of Thomas
Copley of Doncaster and Elizabeth Wortley, married to "Mary, dau. of
Sir Thomas Maleverer, of Allerton, knt."
Gathering more chronology parameters on these families, if possible,
may help place the Mauleverer of Allerton daughters within the family.
