  • A New Wife for Edward, 3Rd Earl of Derby Em
    WILLIAM ;,,it> A NEW WIFE FOR EDWARD, 3RD EARL OF DERBY EM. Zevin, M.A., M.Phil. For a long time there has been some uncertainty over the identity of the first wife of Edward Stanley, third earl of Derby. Probably the earliest extant biographical account of this earl is the Funeral Certificate prepared by the College of Arms following his death in 1572.' It states that, out of three wives, 'He marryed firste Dorothie, dowter to Thomas Howard Duke of Northfolk, and by her had yssue his sone and successour.' More than one of the sixteenth-century Howard dukes of Norfolk carried the name Thomas. Thomas Howard the elder, the second duke of Norfolk, died in 1524. He was succeeded by his eldest son, Thomas Howard the younger, who then became the third duke of Norfolk. As the earl of Derby's first marriage took place around 1530, it is possible that his bride could have been the daughter of either one of these men. The antiquarian histories of the Stanley family generally follow the Funeral Certificate and are also unspecific as to which duke of Norfolk was the father of Earl Edward's first wife.2 The standard peerages, however, indicate not only that Edward's wife was the daughter of the second duke of Norfolk, but also that her mother was the duke's second wife, Agnes.' If we then look up the entries on the dukes of Norfolk, we find that this identification of the bride's parents is backed up solely by Collins' Peerage.' Here, one Dorothy, the second daughter of the second duke of Norfolk by his second wife, is listed as having married the earl of Derby.

  • The Canterbury Association
    The Canterbury Association (1848-1852): A Study of Its Members’ Connections By the Reverend Michael Blain Note: This is a revised edition prepared during 2019, of material included in the book published in 2000 by the archives committee of the Anglican diocese of Christchurch to mark the 150th anniversary of the Canterbury settlement. In 1850 the first Canterbury Association ships sailed into the new settlement of Lyttelton, New Zealand. From that fulcrum year I have examined the lives of the eighty-four members of the Canterbury Association. Backwards into their origins, and forwards in their subsequent careers. I looked for connections. The story of the Association’s plans and the settlement of colonial Canterbury has been told often enough. (For instance, see A History of Canterbury volume 1, pp135-233, edited James Hight and CR Straubel.) Names and titles of many of these men still feature in the Canterbury landscape as mountains, lakes, and rivers. But who were the people? What brought these eighty-four together between the initial meeting on 27 March 1848 and the close of their operations in September 1852? What were the connections between them? In November 1847 Edward Gibbon Wakefield had convinced an idealistic young Irishman John Robert Godley that in partnership they could put together the best of all emigration plans. Wakefield’s experience, and Godley’s contacts brought together an association to promote a special colony in New Zealand, an English society free of industrial slums and revolutionary spirit, an ideal English society sustained by an ideal church of England. Each member of these eighty-four members has his biographical entry.

  • Logford of Derbyshire
    -344- LONGFORDS OF DERBYSHIRE A STUDY OF A MEDIEVAL KNIGHTLY FAMILY: 1 THE LONGFORDS OF DERBYSHIRE , PART 2 by Rosie Bevan2 ABSTRACT This is the second part of an account of the Longford family of Derbyshire, correcting the 1569 and 1611 Herald’s Visitation pedigree and enlarging on the family history. The medieval pedigree is brought forward into the 16th century with links to the modern period. Foundations (2005) 1 (5): 344-372 © Copyright FMG Nicholas Longford V The most turbulent years in Derbyshire in the fifteenth century coincided with Nicholas V as head of the Longford family. As a minor aged 16 in 1434, he had an early introduction to feuding, when the older generations of his family were involved in the dispute between Henry Pierrepont and Thomas Foljambe in which his great uncle was killed. A passionate partisan of the Lancastrian cause, Nicholas’ distrust of, and contempt for, Yorkist ambition, and its supporters, was the impetus in his leadership of the sack of Elvaston in 1454, in which many of his kinsfolk and tenants took part. When Nicholas was 12 years old his marriage was arranged to Joan, daughter of Lawrence Warren (d.1444) of Poynton, Cheshire, and Margaret, daughter of Richard Bulkeley of Cheadle and Margery Venables of Kinderton (Ormerod, 1882, pp.199, 627). The Warrens claimed descent from John de Warenne, earl of Surrey, who died without legitimate issue in 1347, but had fathered illegitimate children by Maud de Nerford. One of these, Edward (recipient in the earl’s will of a bequest of £20 (Raine, 1836)), had married Cicely daughter and heir of Sir Nicholas de Eton, through whom Poynton and Stockport became the nucleus of the Warren family estate3.

Text by John Martin Robinson. No part of this publication may be reproduced without the written permission of the Publisher. M ONTEVIOT HOUSE Introduction I am delighted to welcome you to our family home here in the heart of the Scottish Borders. When my family began to live here 300 years ago, I believe that they chose this location because of the unique curving sweep of the river Teviot which Monteviot overlooks and from which it gets its name. There can be few more peaceful or more beautiful views, few more refreshing yet sheltered aspects, few more welcoming landscapes. There is a glorious sense of freedom of spirit about it all. This is, in many ways, reflected in the somewhat eccentric and tangled mixture of architecture which makes up Monteviot. It is a house to be enjoyed, which is why it has been built onto and altered by successive generations until it has become the characterful edifice which it now is. My wife Jane and I have sought to ensure that the contents of the house today reflect all those differing generations who have lived here: soldiers, diplomats, statesmen, artists, farmers. They have each left their mark and their sense of enjoyment, all bound together by the love of the land in which Monteviot is rooted. We have tried, too, in the gardens to create that atmosphere of surprise and innovation which also have historically been the marks of those who have made Monteviot their home.

  • For Those Royalists Disappointed by Charles II's Failure to Reward Them
    1 The earls of Derby and the opposition to their estate bills in parliament, 1660-92: some new manuscript sources By Charles Littleton, History of Parliament Trust Abstract: The bills introduced in 1660-62 by Charles Stanley, 8th earl of Derby, to reclaim his property conveyed by legal procedures to other proprietors during the Interregnum are well-known to students of the Restoration, as their ultimate defeat is seen as evidence of the royal government's wish to enforce 'indemnity and oblivion' after the civil war. The leading members of the House of Lords opposed to the bill of 1661-2 can be gauged by the protest against its passage on 6 February 1662, which has been readily available to students to consult since the 18th-century publication of the Lords Journals. A number of manuscript lists of the protesters against the bill's passage reveal that the opposition to the bill was even more extensive and politically varied than the protest in the Journal suggests, which raises questions of why the printed protest is so incomplete. A voting forecast drawn up by William Stanley, 9th earl of Derby, in 1691 further reminds us of the often neglected point that the Stanleys continued to submit bills for the resumption of their hereditary lands well after the disappointment of 1662. Derby's manuscript calculations, though ultimately highly inaccurate, reveal much about how this particular peer envisaged the forces ranged for and against the claims of an old civil war royalist family, a good forty years after the loss of their land.

The Queen appointed several of her Privy Councillors to negotiate a reconciliation. These events provide a case study of the use of arbitration and mediation in resolving familial disputes among the elite of Elizabethan England, and their particular application by the Queen and her closest advisers.

  • Family Lines from Companions of the Conqueror
    Companions of the Conqueror and the Conqueror 1 Those Companions of William the Conqueror From Whom Ralph Edward Griswold and Madge Elaine Turner Are Descended and Their Descents from The Conqueror Himself 18 May 2002 Note: This is a working document. The lines were copied quickly out of the Griswold-Turner data base and have not yet been retraced. They have cer- tainly not been proved by the accepted sources. This is a massive project that is done in pieces, and when one piece is done it is necessary to put it aside for a while before gaining the energy and enthusiasm to continue. It will be a working document for some time to come. This document also does not contain all the descents through the Turner or Newton Lines 2 Many men (women are not mentioned) accompanied William the Conqueror on his invasion of England. Many men and women have claimed to be descended from one or more of the= Only a few of these persons are documented; they were the leaders and colleagues of William of Normandy who were of sufficient note to have been recorded. Various sources for the names of “companions” (those who were immediate associates and were rewarded with land and responsibility in England) exist. Not all of them have been consulted for this document. New material is in preparation by reputable scholars that will aid researchers in this task. For the present we have used a list from J. R. Planché. The Conqueror and His Companions. Somerset Herald. London: Tinsley Brothers, 1874.. The persons listed here are not the complete list but constitute a subset from which either Ralph Edward Griswold or Madge Elaine Turner (or both) are descended).
