• The question therefore arises, to whom are we to assign the effigy by sir John's side at Ashburne % Mr. Pretty is inclined to believe it represents sir 'John's mother, the heiress of Herthull, from the fact that the Herthull arms (argent, two bars, vert) are still visible on an escutcheon at one corner of the tomb, near the right foot of the lady : but Elizabeth Herthull married, secondly, John Francis of Ingleby, esquire ; and it is therefore to be doubted whether she was buried at Ashburne'. The arms of Herthull being at one corner of the monument, is not of itself a convincing fact ; as not only was there probably a shield at each corner of it originally, but we know that sir John Cockayne 'abandoned his own coat and assumed that of his mother, which he bore simply, and not quartered with Cockayne' 1 as his son John did. Therefore the shield still existing, would as much belong to the male figure as to the female, or to the latter, if the wife, as much as if she had been the mother. Mr. Errington considers the effigy to be that of Isabella Shirley the wife, and that it is probable that there were two effigies of her ; one placed where she was buried (viz., at Polesworth), and the other on the tomb of her husband at Ashburne. I confess myself at present unable to give an opinion on the subject: but I will venture to suggest that sir John Cockayne might have been twice married, and there is some appearance of this from two other pedigrees in Vincent's Derbyshire, apparently compiled from original deeds, in both of which the name of this sir John Cockayne's wife is said to be Margaret, the name of her family not being mentioned ; and in one she is made the mother of his heir, and also of two daughters, Alice and Ellen. There is no doubt that sir John had a daughter named Alice, as the following extract from a document dated 7th of Henry V, proves her to have been given in marriage to sir It. Shirley: — " Endenture fait entre It. Shirley, chev 1 . et John Cockayne, chev 1 "., de la marriage entre le dit It. et Alice fille du dit John" (Vincent's Derby, College of Arms). And his daughter " Elyn" is named in his will, dated 13 Hen. IV. — Vide Dugdale's Warwickshire, p. 1120.

Cecilia's 2nd marriage was to Robert Ireton

'Elizabeth Cokayne Herthill'

Nicholas Longford IV was born around 1373 and was termed a knight at his father’s inquisition post mortem, indicating he was already receiving an income giving him knightly status (£40 p.a). It is chronologically impossible that he was married to Joan Warren as given in the Herald’s Visitations, for Joan’s father was not born until 139466. Nicholas’ widow’s name was Alice, her family unknown, but all the clues as the mother of Ralph, Nicholas’ son and heir, point to her being a daughter of Sir Edmund Cokayne of Ashbourne and Elizabeth Herthill67. A close affinity emerged between the Longfords, Cokaynes and Okeovers, from the mid 1380s, which may pinpoint the time of a marriage contract. Thomas Okeover, whose mother was sister of Sir John Cokayne68, was with Ralph when they abducted his grandmother, Margery, from her husband, and Sir Ralph Shirley of Ettington, husband of Alice Cokayne, was Ralph’s feoffee in the 1420s. Evidence of a Longford/Cokayne marriage is further intimated by the introduction of the names Edmund, Elizabeth and George (the name of one of Sir Edmund’s sons) into the Longford family, but of particular significance is the appearance of the Longford arms on the tomb of Sir Edmund Cokayne, along with others representing his ancestry and children’s alliances69. This marriage would have been politically advantageous within the Lancastrian fraternity as Sir John Cokayne. was Gaunt’s seneschal and one of the executors of his will in 1399 (Raine, 1836, p.234).
