Frances Yates

Composited Visitations of Hampshire explicitly state that Frances, daughter of Sir Thomas White of Swanbourne, married Francis (not Thomas) Yate of Lyford in Berkshire.

Detail from Overview of Francis (the Recusant) Yate, Esq. As well as Frances White, Francis Yate is recorded as having married Jane Tichborne of Tichborne (Hampshire). In fact, a brief look at the local parish register reveals that Frances was his first wife and died in the Summer of 1569.

Given that she was probably about the same age as Francis Yate, she may not have been the mother of any of his children. Visitations of Berkshire explicitly state that Francis' heir Thomas was the son of Jane Tichbourne (they do not mention Frances White, but this was in 1623 and she may have been forgotten).
