  • George Baildon, I.A., of Swanland in the parish of Ferriby, Methley, Leeds, and Great Hecke in the parish of Snaith, was probably a younger son of Robert Baildon of Baildon, by his wife Margaret Mirfield [ante, p. 217], and a grandson of John Baildon who married . . . . . Haldenby [ante, p. 203] ;(1) there is strong evidence of a near connection both with the Mirlields and the Haldenbys. He was probably born about 1525.

  • George Baiidon was buried at Kippax, May 31, 1588.
  • George Baildon married, before Easter Term, 1563, Anne, widow of James Standish of Kilingham, Lincolnshire, and daughter of Thomas Falkingham (son of Robert F. of Barton-le-Willows) by his wife Jane, daughter and coheir of Thomas Pygott of Clotherholme and widow of Sir Giles Hussey of Cawthorpe, Lincolnshire. The manor of North Hall in Leeds, and a good deal of property elsewhere in Yorkshire, came to the Falkinghams by this marriage.
  • In my note to the Methley Parish register, mentioned above, I have stated that George Baildon and Anne Standish were married in 1549. I have mislaid the authority (if any) for this date, and it is incorrect. James Standish, described as of Billinghay, Lincolnshire, died November 3, 1556, leaving a son and heir Henry, aged 17. The inquisition does not mention the widow.(5)
  • Anne Baildon was buried at Leeds, December 17, 1577, as " Mastris Anne Standysh, doughtere to my Ladye Hussye of the North Hall." It will be noticed that both Anne and her mother arec described by the surnames of their first husbands. Lady Hussey, Thomas Falkingham' s widow, was buried there, October 29, 1597, as "Ladye Hussye of the North Hall." The custom of using a former husband's surname was not at all uncommon, especially where the former husband had a title or was thought to be of a superior social position ; it often gives rise to

  • great confusion, but is still often used in the case of a peer's widow marrying a commoner.(1)
  • Their children appear to have been
    • 1. Hilary; baptism not found. See below.
    • 2. Francis ; baptism not found. See p. 8.
    • 3. William; baptised (Bayldon) at Methley, June 19, 1564.
    • 4. Richard; baptised (Bayldon) at Methley, April 15, 1570.
    • 1. Anne ; baptism not found ; married .... Ascombe.
  • Hilary Baildon, 2.A., of Snaith, was probably the eldest son of George, I.A. [ante, p. 1], but there is no evidence to show conclusively whether he or his brother Francis was the elder. He was probably born about 1558 ; the Methley Register of baptisms does not begin until June, 1560.
  • He cannot have been very much more than 18 when he married, Hillarie Baildon married at Snaith, Agnes Nottingham, July 8, 1576.(2) She is often called Anne ; the names Agnes, Annes and Anne were almost interchangeable.

    • SIR FRANCIS BAILDON, 1560 to 1622.
  • SIR FRANCIS BAILDON, knight, 2.B., of Walton Head in the parish of Kirkby Overblow, Snaith, Kippax, Methley, and Blithborough (Suffolk), was possibly the eldest son of George of Methley, I.A. [ante, p. 1]. There is nothing to show whether he or his brother Hilary was the elder ; and their parentage is nowhere stated, though there is no reasonable doubt about it. .... etc.

  • SIR FRANCIS BAILDON was four times married. His first wife was Frances, daughter of Henry Johnson by his wife Elizabeth, daughter of Richard Norton of Norton. The first child mentioned in the Kippax Register is Ellen, so we may assume that Francis was born before his father settled there. Francis was possibly born at Waltonhead, where, as we have seen, Sir Francis was living in 1583-4. In the Kippax Register is the following "Frauncis Baldon buried 21 May, 1587." This I take to be Frances Baildon, the first wife of Sir Francis. The spellings Frances and Francis were frequently confounded, in parish registers especially. In that case by his first wife Sir Francis Baildon had one son and three daughters.
    • 1. .... etc.
  • Sir Francis next married Margaret, daughter of Richard Goodrick of Ribstone, by his wife Clare, daughter of Richard Norton of Norton. His first two wives thus appear to have been first cousins as this small pedigree will more clearly show.
  • .... etc.
  • Sir Francis appears to have married Margaret Goodrick some time in 1588, as she had a child in 1589. By his second wife, Sir Francis had six sons and two daughters.
  • Margaret, second wife of Sir Francis Baildon, was buried at Kippax, 22 September, 1598. "
  • Sir Francis married for the third time Isabel, daughter of Sir Philip Tyrwhit, and widow of Robert Haldenby of Haldenby. She was the mother of Elizabeth Haldenby, wife of Francis, eldest son of Sir Francis.
  • .... etc.
  • Isabel does not appear to have had any children. She was buried at Kippax, 9 March, 1601.
  • Sir Francis married for the fourth time, Anne Colebie or Colby, widow (between Hil. 1604-5 and Hil. 1605-6).
