Notes

From Genealogical Memoirs of the Extinct Family of Chester of Chicheley ..., Volume 1 By Robert Edmond Chester Waters

Sir Humphrey Coningsby Kt., son and heir of Thomas, was bred to the Bar and practised his profession with great success, for he was enabled to purchase large estates in Shropshire, Herefordshire, and Hertfordshire. He was made a Judge of the King's Bench on 21st May 1510, and retained this office until his death, during a period of more than twenty-five years. (43)

Sir Humphrey married three wives, of whom his first wife Alice, the daughter and heir of Ferriby of Ferriby in Lincolnshire, was the mother of his children.

His second wife Anne was the heiress of Scaleby in Cumberland, being the daughter and heir of Christopher Moresby Esq. of that place, and the widow of James Pickering Esq., of Killington in Westmoreland who died in 1498. (44) Dame Anne Coningsby died at Scaleby on 5th Oct. 1523, (45) when, in the absence of Sir Humphrey, her funeral was conducted by her cousin, the Lord Caere of the North. (46) Her next heir was her granddaughter Anne Pickering, for her eldest son Sir Christopher Pickering Kt. had died in 1518; (47) and the wardship of the heiress was granted by the King on 26th Jan. 1525-6 to Sir Richard Weston Kt., of Sutton Place, Guildford, (46) whose son and heir Francis afterwards married her.

Sir Humphrey's third wife was named Isabel, of whom nothing is known, except that she died before he made his Will in 1531, and was buried in the Church of the Grey Friars, London.

Sir Humphrey purchased from the King on 26th Oct. 1527 the wardship of his grandson and heir apparent Humphrey Coningsby, who, on the death of his mother Cecily Salway, had become the King's ward in respect of her inheritance in Shropshire. (46) Sir Humphrey died on 2d June 1535, and the usual inquest after his death was held at Ross in Herefordshire, on 26th Sept. following. (48)
