Research Notes

Isabel Dowse, posthumous daughter of John Dowse by his wife Cassandra _____ Dowse, was said by one author to have been the first wife of Anthony Hawkredd. Per Holman, Isabel Dowse was born at Freiston, Lincolnshire, England, about 1560. She died and was buried at Boston, Lincolnshire, England, June 22, 1615. She married Anthony Hawkredd (son of William) as his first wife, about 1595.[10] However, later research proves that this is incorrect. It was Isabel Bonner who married Anthony Hawkredd as his first wife.[7]

The afore-mentiond Isabel Dowse did not exist. Her alleged parents, John Dowse (1523-1559) and Cassandra _______ (per Holman) (now known to be Cassandra (Claymond) Hawkredd) did not have a known daughter Isabel.[11]. After John Dowse's death in 1559, Cassandra had married William Hawkredd in abut 1560. Their son, Anthony Hawkredd (1561-1628) is the man who married Isabel (Bonner) (Earle) (Jeffray) as her 4th spouse; she was his first spouse.[12]

Holman had apparently thought that the will of Richard Dowse of Frieston, dated September 21, 1599, as well as the will of Wlliam Tuckney of Kirton, dated January 29, 1610/11, both of whom referred to Anthony Hawkredd as their "brother" in some way, indicated a relationship in which Isabel Dowse was the woman who married Anthony Hawkredd. Richard Dowse and Anthony Hawkredd were brothers - half brothers, in that their mother was Cassandra (Claymond) Hawkredd (abt.1528-bef.1565). William Tuckney was a half-brother of Isabel Bonner due to her mother's first marriage.[13]
