About Agnes Ludlow

She appears as wife of John Erley in a deed of 1439 and in 1447, when she receives a legacy from Robert Warmwell, as widow of John Erley and wife of Thomas Tropenell in 1456, 1457, and continues to be mentioned as wife of Tropenell in deeds to 1461

There is, however, no doubt that she lived much longer. She predeceased her husband, and as there is no reference to her in 1479, when Tropenell appointed trustees with a view to his will, we may conclude that Margaret was no longer living. before 1486 (2 H. VII.),

William Ludlow, Yeoman of the Cellar, his daughter Margaret married Thomas Tropenell of Great Chalfield, Wilts. Ref: Great Chalfield, BGAS Translation Vol XXIII by Rev. J. Silvester Davis

This marriage is also shewn on the same, at No. 4 : viz., as before, on the dexter side the Tropenell arms, and on the sinister, ar. a chevron sa. between three bears' heads erased of the same, for Ludlow of Hill Deverill. Sir Richard Colt Hoare gives the latter, in his History of Modern Wiltshire, among the arms of the families in the Hundred of Heytesbury, and also the same, but martins', instead of bears', heads, in another page. In the pedigree there given of Ludlow, the fourth daughter of William Ludlow, the first of that name, as of Hill DeveriU, marries Thomas Trapnell, or Tropenell, of Chavile, co. Wilts, Esq. The Christian name of this lady is not mentioned ; but it must have been Agnes, and not Margaret, since Margaret, who was the eldest daughter, married William Sandes, and at a court held at Corsham " upon the Morrow of Saint Bartholomew the Apostle, in the twentyeth Year of the reign of King Henry, " " the Sixth after the Conquest, came Thomas Tropenell, who holds of the Lord to him and his Heirs, according to " " the custom of the manner, &c. One Mess e and one Yard Land, with the appurts in Neston called le Eyres, and " "surrendered into the hands of the Lord the Messuage and Yard Land afores' 1 , with the appurts, to the use of him- " "self and Agnes his wife, Robert Hungerford, Knight, and Robert Hungerford, Esq." (their Attorneys). This must have been on his marriage, as he was admitted tenant to the same Messuage " At a court held there on Monday " " next after the feast of the Body of Christ, in the sixteenth Year of the Reign of King Henry, the Sixth after the" " Conquest," which seems to have been his first purchase, for which he paid "to the Lord for a Herriot, 12 shillings," "according to the antient custom," and "for a Fine 13 shillings and 4 pence." Copies of Court Roll and Surrenders of Lands, etc., in Corsham, in the same MS.
