• Barbara Constable (c. 1530 – c. 1561),[7] who married, as his first wife, Sir William Babthorpe, son of Sir William Babthorpe, and had issue. Suspected of Catholicism, Babthorpe proved his loyalty to Elizabeth I by helping to quell the Northern Rebellion of 1569 which attempted to place Mary Queen of Scots on the throne. Among the couple's children was Margaret Babthorpe (1550–1628), wife in about 1575 of Sir Henry Cholmley.[6]

Will of Anne St. Leger

Katherine Manners is listed in her mother’s will, dated 20 April 1526 mentions ‘Kateryn my daughter’ and then later ‘my daughter Constabell’.

Katherine died sometime after 1558. Her husband made his will 1 Sept 1558 and appointed as executors his wife and his eldest son Marmaduke.

She was apparently buried at ‘Babthorpe Chapel’ in the parish of Hemingbrough, Yorkshire.
