Frances Aylmer, dsp

See https://www.rootschat.com/forum/index.php?topic=799215.msg6566035#m... for transcriptions of her will of 1540. This Frances Aylmer (the Elder) mentions the child Frances Aylmer (the Younger) in her will and refers to her as 'cousin'. In that period cousin meant kinsperson, not necessarily 1st cousin.

Copied from earlier profile:

Frances Aylmer (also spelled Aelmer and Elmer), died 1540, was a lady of the privy chamber to Princess Mary Tudor from at least 1525 until 1533 and returned to her service in 1536. She served as Mary's proxy when Mary was godmother to one of the children of Lord William Howard. In mid-July 1533, Thomas Cromwell wrote to Lord Hussey, Chamberlain of Mary's household, ordering him to have Mary’s jewels and plate inventoried and placed in the custody of Frances Aylmer. This did not happen. The countess of Salisbury, who was Lady Mistress of the household, refused to comply unless she received written orders from the king himself. Frances Aelmer's will was proved March 21, 1540. She makes reference in it to Sir William and Lady Butts (Margaret Bacon), who were also members of Mary's household.

Her sister Anne was mentioned in the will of Thomas Grey, grandfather of Lady Jane Grey - TPD 17/5/24
