 Thomas Walweyn 1) 2) 3)Died between 19 and 20 May 1415 2) 3)
Election: Elected 4 times as MP for Herefordshire between Jan 1396/97 and Oct 1404 2) Will signed: Mar 1414/15 3) Notes: Thomas was a member of the Herefordshire gentry. His primary residence was Much Marcle inherited from his mother. He added additional properties in Ruardean and St Briavels following his marriage to Isabel, a Hatheway co-heiress. Identified as father of William who marries Joan Whitney primarily on basis of PCC wills. Married before 1381 1) (33 or 34 years married) to:  Isabel Hatheway 1) 2) 3)Born ± 1360 Ruardean, Gloucestershire, England Or maybe as early as 1360 depending which IPM is believed. 1) 4) Died 1430, approximately 70 years 2) Notes: Accused of "forcible entry of the manor of Langford at the head of a band of Welshmen", at some point following the death of her husband, Thomas Walweyn. (C 1/69/230) Child: 1. William Walweyn 5) 6)Died ± 1445 7) Notes: Of Longford. This William Walweyn is not the same individual as the William Walweyn who married Joan Greyndour. Fundamentally, this is evidenced by them both having different heirs for properties attached with the same terms (e.g. Longford goes to John Walweyn, whereas the Greyndour inheritance goes to Alice). William Walweyn comes into ownership of the manor of Longford which is inherited by his descendants. A mullet on Willliam's coat of arms in Great Malvern suggest he was a third son - and hence why he did not inherit Much Marcle from his father. | |||

6) Source: THE IDENTITY OF MARGARET, WIFE OF JOHN PARLES "In addition to the unreferenced statement by Burke, two other records support the identification of Joan Walwyn/Welford as a member of the Whitney family. The first of these is the Book of Baglan, a collection of pedigrees by John Williams, compiled in about 1600 – that is, some 150 years after Joan Walwyn/Weldon’s lifetime. These pedigrees (p.34) state that “Jaen (sic) Whitney ma[rried] Walwyn of Longford. Taken on its own, this late source would not be of great value. However, it is supported by a second, contemporary piece of evidence. This consists of a set of stained glass images across the county border in Worcestershire, in Great Malvern church (Chambers, 1817, p.40) which, though damaged, remain partially extant. Installed during the early part of the 15th century (Rushworth, 1936), they originally depicted “Willielmus Walwein et Jana uxor eius” [William Walwyn and Jane his wife].Above these were placed two heraldic shields, the first displaying the arms of Whitney (azure, a cross chequy or and sable), and the second showing Walwyn of Longford (gules, on a bend argent a mullet sable) impaling Whitney – ie, indicating that ‘Jane Walweyn’ was a Whitney by birth. Fragments of the images have been replaced in one of the clerestory lights in the north of the chancel – including the lady’s face – while the two sets of arms are still (December 2008) in situ in the south chanceltransept".
