Thomas Brocket, "the Younger"

Thomas Brocket was born c.1453 at Brocket Hall, Yorkshire, England. He was the son of Edward Brocket and wife Elizabeth Thwaytes. He is often called "the Younger" to distinguish him from his dead brother.

Thomas married Elizabeth Calthrop or Calthorpe, heiress. Thomas appears to have stayed in Yorkshire. Calthrop is not a Hertfordshire name—there are no old Hertfordshire wills of that name—whereas one of the coats of arms in the windows of 16th C Steeton Hall were of Calthorpe (another was of Thwaites, MJ Harrison 2000 p 263). They had a daughter Margaret, but who apparently had no issue. He died c.1477 in Yorkshire, England.
