I am trying to place where Robert Elrington Esq. of Hackney and Hoxton, Middx., fits into the Elrington pedigree. He married Kateryn d/o William Browne alderman and (1507) mayor of London. Kateryn Elrington (née Browne) was deceased before October 1525, as stated in her brother's will (William Browne PROB 11/21/618).Raw Message
They had issue:
John
Thomas
Dorothy, married John Darnall, Baron of the Exchequer
Elizabeth, married Bartholomew Jekyll of Newington, Middx.
Anne, married (1st) ... Vaughan and (2nd) William Lego of London
Ursula, married Martin Massingberd
Margaret, married Augustin Massingberd of Braytoft, Linc.
In The Oxford History of the Laws of England Vol. VI, it is mentioned that Robert Elrington (of the Middle Temple) was secondary of the Bread Street Compter in 1506, and unfortunately there is no mention of his name in the Register of Admissions for the Middle Temple.
I cannot find a sufficient visitation of this family anywhere. The Elrington pedigree in Essex Visitation (HSP 13) is far from complete.
The will of Thomas Elrington, son of Simon Elrington Esquire, (proven 27 January 1524) makes no mention of Robert.
There is a Inq. Post Mortem of Edward Elington dated 1515-1516. Might anyone know if the IPMs are digitized and viewable?
Any help on figuring out Robert Elrington would be very much appreciated.
