(m. John Trye), Visitation (Gloucestershire, 1623, 'Trye') shows the parents of Mary (m. John Try) were Catherine ("cossen and coheire of Charles Brandon") & John Gorney of Lemington (Suffolk), son of Thomas by Anne, dau/heir of _ Helyon. BLG1952 (Trye of Hartshill) names John Tyre's wife as Elizabeth. There is some confusion here but we presume that Henry & Katharine were indeed parents of ... | |||||||||||||||
