| Much of the following (upper section) was first uploaded on 02.06.24 as a section of a temporary page (Tmp31). It was reviewed & expanded on 10.06.24 (using 'Wilts' (p36/321) & HoP) and was copied to this page on that date with it being intended that that section on Tmp31 would be deleted once all cross-references from other pages had been updated and that this page would then be launched as a new page. HOWEVER, looking at the page prior to the addition of the lower section, it appears that this page was accidentally uploaded into the database before all cross-references to it had been updated and prior to deletion of that section within Tmp31. Futhermore, it appears that the page was recorded on the DD subindex page but that that record was incomplete. The position was rectified on 11.01.26. We apologise for any confusion caused. | |||||||||||||||

| The following comes from 'Wilts' (vol 4 (1829), 'Pedigree of Bowles and Davies, p36/321) with some input from HoP ("Matthew Davies"). | |||||||||||||||

| C. | Sir John Davys or Davies, later of Englefield (Berkshire) (bpt 16.04.1569, d 07.12.1626, MP, Speaker of the House of Commons, Attorney General for Ireland) | ||||||||||||||
| Some cross-references to Sir John suggest that he was Lord Chancellor of Ireland but this appears to be confusion with his role as Attorney General for Ireland. | |||||||||||||||
| m. Eleanor Tuchet (d 05.07.1652, dau of George Tuchet, Baron Audley, later 1st Earl of Castlehaven) | |||||||||||||||
| 'Wilts' shows that, apart from Lucy, John & Eleanor had 1 son who d young. HoP ("John Davies") reports that they had 2 sons, one (d infant) whilst the other dvp with no indication that he had married or had children, Lucy being identified as their heir. 'History of the Munros of Fowlis' (Alexander Mackenzie, 1898, p293) indicates that one of their sons had a daughter, as shown in italics below, but we suspect that that is wrong. HoP indicates that here has been confusion between different John Davys/Davieses of this period. | |||||||||||||||
