comments

Will of John Shelley, Esq, written 5 Oct 1550 (5 Oct. 4 Edward VI) names " ... my 4 daughters Elinor, Mary, Bryget and Margaret ...". 6, Anne Shelley wife to Sir Richard Shirley of Wiston, in-Sussex, Knt. was born about 1500, daughter of John Shelley, MP (b 1448) & Elizabeth Michelgrove. The pedigree appears in error.

Notes

According to Douglas Richardson, Mary FitzWilliam was the daughter of William's second wife, Mildred Sackville. William and his first wife Anne Hawes had two daughters, Anne and Ellizabeth (wife of Thomas Brudenell, Knight), and two sons, William, Knight, and Richard, Esq.

John Shelley’s marriage to Mary Fitzwilliam renewed his family’s relationship with Sir Anthony Cooke, a descendant of Henry Belknap, who had married her half-sister.
