These first few generations are as reported in the 'British Genealogies' notebook identified below. Visitation starts with an unnamed Gaskon of Hartwood whose son William married Jane, dau of John Gawthorp, and was father of William of Gawthorpe who married Elsabeth, dau of William Bolton, who was father of William who married Margaret, dau of Nycolas Franke of Alwodley, who was father of Chief Justice William. | |||||||||||||||
m. Mansilda Gawkethorpe (dau of John Gawkethorpe of Gawthorpe) | |||||||||||||||
(1) | William Gascoigne of Gawthorpe (d before 1383) | ||||||||||||||
BEB1844 and BLG1952 start with this William. BLG1952 reports that he bought land in Harewood, Yorkshire, in 1364. It is not clear whether or not this is contradicting the above ancestry which indicates that his family had held land in or around Harewood for a few generations. BLG1952 also reports that his elder son Lord Chief Justice Sir William was lord of the manor of Wheldale and dsp. However, he (son William) is widely reported as of Gawthorpe and as ancestor of the later Gascoignes of Gawthorpe. We provisionally follow those other reports, in particular the Visitation, but note concern that later research may have disproved the view (apparently still widely held) that he (father William) was progenitor of both the Gascoignes of Gawthorpe and those of Lasingcroft. | |||||||||||||||

BLG1952 (Gascoigne formerly of Raby Hall) shows that Nicholas m. (c1389) Mary, dau/heir of _ Cliderow of Salebury. Visitation (Yorkshire, 1563-4, Gaskon) identifies her as Mary, dau/heir of John Clytheroo by dau of Grace. Noting the doubt on Clitherow1, we follow the 'British Genealogies' schedule in showing her as follows. Note that it appears thar she was widow of John Tempest. | |||||||||||||||
