| ## There is confusion as to whether Eleanor (mother of the following William) was 2nd wife of this Sir William, the renowned judge, or of his grandson Sir William. BHO reports that Ela (or Agnes) was 2nd wife of "the judge" which, given that it had identified Jane le Grosse as his 1st wife, implies that she was 2nd wife of this Sir William. However, BE1883, BEB1841 & Visitation all show her as 2nd wife of his grandson. Moreover, in support of showing her as of the later generation, the Editor of the Harleian Society's edition of Visitation adds the following note for Ele(anor): "This lady is usually said to be second wife of his grandfather the Judge, and she was originally so placed on this pedigree, but the entry was then cancelled." Nevertheless, provisionally (and in contradiction of what we first did when we launched this page), we now support showing her as of this generation. This is not least because TCB (vol 1, Yelverton of Rougham) identifies Henry, father of the 1st Bart, as 4th in descent from Sir William, the judge. | |||||||||||||||

| (1) See note ## just above. (2) After mentioning a possible (but spurious?) reference to William having married a daughter of a Sir James Hewet, alleged but unidentified Lord Mayor of London, BHO identifies William's wife as Catherine, possibly dau of Henry Spilman of Stow Beccles. BEB1841 identifies her as Catherine, dau of John Raves of Essex. Visitation identifies her as Katherine Randes of Essex. BE1883 identifies her as ... |
