Katharine Cranfield

Katharine was born c. 1502 at Barford Parish, Bedfordshire, England.[1] She was the heiress of the Cranfields of Great Barford Parish, Bedfordshire, England.[2]

Her birth date, 1502, is a guess, based on her marriage in 1522.

Marriage

Katharine married in "Ao 13 Hen. 8" (1522) to William Glover (later Cranfield).[1] Apparently, "William Glover of Kempston Parish, Bedfordshire" was originally named Glover, and he "adopted" the surname of his wife, Katherine Cranfield, who was a rich heiress.[3] Their children all had the name Cranfield.[3]

Children:[1]

1. William Cranfield died without issue
2. Elizabeth Cranfield; mar in 1546 to William Carter of Bromham Death and Legacy

Katharine died in "27 Hen. 8" (1536) at Barford Parish, Bedfordshire, England .[1]

Note: Henry 8th's reign began on 21 April 1509.[4]
