William married Ellen Gilby between 1548 and 1552. Ellen (daughter of John Gilby and Agnes Brough) was born between 1515 and 1520 in of West Ravendale, Lincolnshire, England; died after 23 Jan 1560. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

"Ellen is named with her two husbands in the Gilby pedigree in the 1562 visitation of Lincolnshire, signed by her brother George (Walter C. Metcalfe, ed., The Visitation of the County of Lincoln in 1562-4 [London, 1881], 51). In a Brough pedigree in the same visitation (p. 21), it is stated that John Gilby's wife, Agnes Brough (Ellen's mother), was a daughter of Robert Brough and Mary Newcomen. Several lawsuits, however, show that Brough and Newcomen made a marriage settlement in 1523, far too late for them to be grandparents of Ellen Gilby, who was married to William Femers by 1542."

William married Agnes Lenton. Agnes (daughter of John Lenton) was born about 1525 in of Aldwinkle, Northamptonshire, England; died after Nov 1581. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Other Events and Attributes:

• Alternate death: Aft 7 Dec 1558

Notes:

Some experts have expressed doubt that he was a son of Thomas Wentworth of North Elmshall and Jane Mirfield, even though his father Thomas's will of 1522-23, a detailed abstract of which was published in 1884, gives 20 marks to "Olyver Wentworth my sone." At any rate, Oliver Wentworth was clearly of gentry rank to have married Isabel Sothill. And the father of Oliver's mother Jane Mirfield was an Oliver -- not a common name in England at the time. This Oliver is the first known Wentworth thus named.

Oliver married Isabel Sothill before 1520. Isabel (daughter of Richard Sothill and Agnes) was born about 1489; died between 1544 and 7 Dec 1558. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Other Events and Attributes:

• Alternate death: Aft 1544

Notes:

The 20 marks bequeathed to Oliver Wentworth in his father's 1522-23 will were stated to be "towarde the mariage of his doughtours", which suggests that the actual date of Oliver's and Isabel's marriage may have been closer to 1510.

Notes:

Robert Marbury and Katherine Williamson were half third cousins once removed, both being descendants of Thomas Hawley (d. 1419 or 1420), Katherine through Thomas's first wife Margaret Brewse, and Thomas through an uncertain wife who may have been Dulcia Massey or perhaps an unknown wife between Margaret and Dulcia.

From "The Well-Beloved Mother-in-law of Robert Marbury" by F. N. Craig, citation details below:

In the funeral of Henry VII in 1509, [Robert Marbury] was a yeoman to the King's Grandame (that is, Henry VII's grandmother, Lady Margaret Beaufort, wife successively of Edmund Tudor, Earl of Richmond; Sir Henry Stafford; and Thomas Stanley, 1st Earl of Derby). In 1510, as yeoman usher of the Queen's Chamber, he had a grant to be feodary [i.e., one who holds land of an overlord on condition of homage] of the duchy of Exeter within county Devon, during [the king's] pleasure. In 1513, as Robert Marbury Jr. he was a feofee, along with Robert Marbury Sr. [his uncle], John Lenton [father of his son's future wife] and John Marbury, clerk. In 1514, his cousin William Blount, Lord Mountjoy, was the Queen's Chamberlain. In the same year, Robert Marbury, yeoman usher of the Queen's Chamber, was feodary noted above, for life. In 1517, he was appointed to be serjeant at arms, with 12d. a day in consideration of his services to Queen Catherine. In 1526, his yearly wage as serjeant at arms in the Royal Household was £18 5s, i.e., still 12d. a day.

In the Lincolnshire Rebellion of October 1536, Robert Marbury appears as follows: In the examination of Sir Edward Madeson before the King's Council, Madeson, with his brother John Madeson and both his sons, then went up into Castrefeld to see the number of rebellious and there met Sir Wm. Askew and Marbery the serjeant and one Bonctcene of the Exchequer. The rebels took them all except Boneteync and Marbury. (Let. & Pap. Hen. VIII, 11:225-26, no. 568.)

In a letter from Sir Robert Kyrkham to Richard Cromwell:

"Yesterday night late" he was at Stanforde with Sir William Parre and others when Marbery and Madyson, the King's servants came in, having escaped from the rebels who they say are 20,000... (Let. & Pap. Hen. VIII, 11:248, no. 619).

Robert married Katherine Williamson before 1524. Katherine (daughter of John Williamson and Jane Angevine) was born about 1508; died on 17 Aug 1525. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Other Events and Attributes:

• Alternate death: 11 Aug 1525

Notes:

Katherine Williamson and Robert Marbury were half third cousins once removed, both being descendants of Thomas Hawley (d. 1419 or 1420), Katherine through Thomas's first wife Margaret Brewse, and Thomas through an uncertain wife who may have been Dulcia Massey or perhaps an unknown wife between Margaret and Dulcia.

Notes:

Notwithstanding the claim made in several online sources, the John Lenton who was father to William Marbury's wife Agnes was not the John Lenton who married Elizabeth Shepherd. That latter marriage, as shown by Walter Goodwin Davis in "Shepherd of Littlecote" (New England Historical and Genealogical Register 118:251, Oct 1964), took place on 18 May 1585, making it obvious it was a later John Lenton that married this Elizabeth.
