Thomas Burgh, 1st Lord of Gainsborough (d 18.03.1495/6) - continued above | |||||||||||||||
Different sources number the lordships differently. TCP identifies this Thomas as the 1st Lord as does BE1883 but BP1934 (Burgh), whilst recognising that Thomas was summoned to Parliament as a Baron, reports that his son was not and numbers the Lordships as starting with the Thomas who was this Thomas's grandson. More on this just below! | |||||||||||||||

A. | Thomas Burgh, Sheriff of Lincolnshire, 3rd/1st Lord of Gainsborough (d 28.02.1549/50) | ||||||||||||||
BE1883 shows Thomas, 3rd Lord (d 1552), as having married Anne Tyrwhit and been father of another Thomas, 4th Lord (m1. Elizabeth Owen, m2. Alice), father of William, 5th Lord. Against the name of Thomas, 4th Lord, BE1883 provides a note that "Sir Harris Nicolas omits this Thomas de Burgh as if he considered him identical with Thomas, the 3rd baron." We follow TCP and therefore hereafter use different numberings of the Lords from BE1883. As mentioned above, BP1934 identifies this Thomas as the 1st Lord. As Burke's Peerage was influential to various sources used to refer to this family, we show both the numberings from both TCP and BP1934 but give precedence to TCP. | |||||||||||||||
m1. (1496) Agnes Tyrwhitt (dau of Sir William Trywhitt of Kettleby) | |||||||||||||||
Elizabeth, daughter of Sir David Owen, is identified by BE1883 as the faithless wife who had children by another person during the marriage (with her husband obtaining an Act of Parliament to have them bastardised) and thereafter identifies William, successor of Thomas '4th Lord', as by his second wife Alice. However, TCP, which we follow, identifies Agnes Tyrwhitt as that wife but shows William as accepted by Thomas as his legitimate successor. | |||||||||||||||
i. | Sir Edward Borough (dvpsp) | ||||||||||||||

BP1934 reports that Sir Thomas's children were "bastardised by Act of Parliament". | |||||||||||||||

Other than William, shown above, BE1883 shows the following as children by this marriage. As TCP identifies William as 3rd and youngest son of the first marriage, it is assumed that BE1883 was mistaken in suggesting that Henry (if he was of this generation) was born before William. BP1934 mentions Henry (noting his ancestry of the family of Stowe) but, as it does not mention the marriage to Alice London, identifies him as 4th son of Agnes Tyrwhitt. | |||||||||||||||
