Agnes Catesby
« on: Thursday 30 August 12 18:37 BST (UK) »
One of my Cave ancestors was Christopher of Stanford & Walcot d. 16 September 1591.

I have a copy and transcript of a non cupative will which names his wife as Agnes. In work apparently done a few years ago by students at Leicester University she was identified as Agnes Catesby bur 27 May 1596 Yelvertoft.

Christophers brother Bartholomew of Welford living latest 1573 is listed probably by the same source as being married to a Dorothy Catesby of Weekley (sisters?).

I can't find any evidence supporting any of this but for obvious reasons the Catesby name intrigues me (Gunpowder plot and earlier Richard III etc). Anyone come across Catesby in this context.

Many thanks

Neil

Hello everyone

I am descended from Dorothy Catesby of Whiston, Northants (1527-1613). Whilst looking for her connection, I did find another Dorothy Catesby b 1585, Hardmead, Bucks.
The Dorothy Catesby b 1527 was a cousin of William Catesby, the grandfather of Robert Catesby of Gunpowder plot fame.
I haven't researched the Dorothy Catesby of Hardmead.
