There were several branches of the Cavendish or Candysshe family living in Suffolk in 1559, and William was a popular christian name among them. However, on a balance of probabilities it was William Cavendish of Grimston rather than his namesake of Cavendish who sat for Suffolk in 1559. A substantial landowner, assessed for the 1568 subsidy on £50 in lands, he was related to a number of influential local families. As three generations earlier one of his ancestors had married a Brandon, his father Sir Richard was a coheir of Charles Brandon, Duke of Suffolk. William’s marriage brought him into the family circle of the leading Suffolk magnate of the period, and through his maternal grandmother he was connected with the Grimstons.2
