Thomas and Dionice Brocket of Brocket Hall had two sons, Thomas, of Brocket Hall who married Elizabeth Ashe and Edward who married Elizabeth Thwaytes. Thomas had no children. The rights to the manor passed to his brother Edward and continued in the family through his descendants until it came to Sir John Brocket who married Helen, daughter of Sir Robert Lytton of Knebworth Place.
Edward Brocket and Elizabeth had several children, six of them surviving at the time Edward died. In his will Edward left 'my vi childerne eche of theim a pece of siluer'.
There are three pedigrees that trace Edward’s lineage. Harley 807, followed by Berry and Clutterbuck. They create as many problems as they solve. In his will Edward left 'my vj childerne eche of theim a pece of siluer'. Three were sons, of full age—the last 2 therefore—Robert and William—born at the latest 1466 and 1467. Harley 807, followed by Berry and Clutterbuck, recorded 7 children, but only 2 were daughters. Perhaps their 3rd surviving daughter was another Elizabeth. Two sons were called Thomas in an attempt to continue the name of Edward's father and brother, and probably grandfather. The 1st Thomas was therefore probably the 1st son. The 3 pedigrees did not place the names in the same order; some of this was clearly in order to give visual balance to the charts on the page, but the Brokett descent in BL ms Add 29438 (which only listed heirs) said 'Thomas Brokett Esqr [Edward's] son & heir dy'd without issue male' and called John the 2nd son.
Children of Edward Brocket and wife Elizabeth Thwaytes: [as best as can be determined by the three pedigrees discussed above]
