Family
 Unknown 1) 2)Notes: See commentary for John Walweyn. John's wife was definitely not Agnes Milbourne, daughter of Simon Milbourne. The Visitation of Gloucestershire correctly identifies John's wife as unknown, and identifies his nine children, though it incorrectly identifies John as a son of Thomas and Agnes Milbourne. Married/ Related to:  John Walweyn 3) 4) 5) 1) 2)Son of William Walweyn and Joan Whitney. Born between 1430 and 1440 Second son born in 1461 Residence: Longford, Herefordshire, England 3) 6) Notes: The Hereford visitation identifies John Walwyn of Longford's wife as Agnes Milbourne, co-heiress of Simon Milborne. The Worcester, Sussex and Gloucester visitations provide no wife for John. Almost all secondary sources have followed the Hereford Visitation in error. Agnes Milbourne, co-heiress of Simon Milborne married one Thomas Walwyn of Much Marcle, as opposed to John Walwyn. Various primary records at The National Archives make this clear - e.g. see C 43/2/22. Which means the Hereford visitation is incorrect. This leaves three potential alternatives: 1) John Walwyn was actually Thomas Walwyn who married Agnes Milbourne 2) John Walwyn did marry an Agness Milbourne, but she was the Agnes sister of Simon Milborne (as opposed to daughter) 3) John Walwyn's wife is unknown. Alternative one can be discounted through reviewing Thomas's will, proved 1532 (PROB 11/24/179), which makes bequests to all his children - and there is no Edward - nor is there any of the manors and land that this branch of the Walwyn family possessed. Alternative two can also be discounted on chronological grounds. John Walwyn's second son (Thomas) was born in 1461 (per his borther John's IPM). John's ninth son (Edward) was born between 1485 and 1533. Agnes, sister of Simon, was born c1420 - which is too early for her to be mother to John's children. On this basis, John's wife has been marked unknown. Child: 1. Edward Walweyn 3) 6)Born between 1480 and 1500 Ninth sibling, second born in 1461. Residence: Coddington, Herefordshire, England 6) Notes: In 1510 and 1511, Edward Walwyn and Richard Monington were granted the wardenship of Malvern Chase and Colwall Park. (Episcopi Herefordensis) Edward appears on the 1524 subsidy toll for Bosbury, Herefordshire. --- The visitations for Walwyn are inconsistent. However, the visitation of Worcestershire, from 1569, focused on Edward's immediate family aligns with the direct primary evidence found in John Walweyn's will. Hence it has been followed here. The following claims from the will all align with the visitation: "My sister's son Ferdinando Stratford...and to Judith Stratford his sister" - One Anne Walwyn, daughter of Edward Walwyn married William Stratford (his second wife). Also supported by monuments at Farncote "Margery Bridge my cosen" - Daughter of a brother of Peryn Bridges. "My sister Myntridge's children...Richard..Mary...Anne" "My sonnes Robert, Gabryell, John, James and Humfrey" - All appear in visitation except Humfrey, the youngest, who presumably was not yet born. "Daughter Katherine" - in agreement with Visitation "My sister Myntridge's children...Richard..Mary...Anne" - "Elizabeth uxor Jame Myntridge" - another daughter of Edward. | |||
