notes

From Cromwell, Mirfyn et al (LONG) 1998.

Pedigrees of the families in the County of Kent... (London, 1830), 39. Berry States that Edward Mirfine, the son of Sir Thomas Mirfine and Elizabeth Squire, married Alice, daughter of Oliver Squyer, wife of Edward North, Lord North. Berry shows that Sir Thomas was father of three daughters and coheirs (his son Edward is stated to have died without issue, but in any event the daughters would be coheirs of their mother), (1) Margaret Mirfine, who married Roger Halle of London, (2) Mary Mirfine, who married Sir Andrew Judde, knight, and (3) Frances Mirfine, who married SIr RIchard Cromwell. Now Berry and Camden's Vis. have their faults, but the attribution of the daughters to Elizabeth Don seem to be correct.
