| The following is supported by Visitation (Buckinghamshire, 1634, Dormer of Shipton Lee) & Visitation (Oxfordshire, 1566+1574, Bury of Hampton Poyle). | |||||||||||||||

| Peter Dormer 'of Newbottle' of Shipton Lee (Lee Grange) (d 01.04.1555) | |||||||||||||||
| Visitation shows only 1 wife for Peter, Agnes Cooper, mother of Gabriell, John, Jane, Alice, Mrs. Crispe & Mrs. Palmer with Gabriell being father of Peter (father of Fleetwood). BEB1841 identifies Agnes Cowper as his first wife and shows her as mother of Gabriel, the only child mentioned, the father of Peter. Until 06.10.15 we showed Gabriel as father of Peter but from that date we have used Lipscomb as the prime source for this family and so show the younger Peter as half-brother rather than son of Gabriel. | |||||||||||||||
