[J. Sardina]

Hello,

While look at the
LIST OF EARLY CHANCERY PROCEEDINGS PRESERVED IN THE PUBLIC RECORD OFFICE,
VOL. V.

digitized copy, apparently available at

UNIVERSITY OF FLORIDA LIBRARIES

which text version can be found at
https://archive.org/details/listofearlychanc538newy


I noticed an entry regarding one Margery, deceased wife of Lewis Eyton.
as follows:

12

Margaret Houghton, widow.

against
Henry Eyton, esquire, son and heir of Lewis Eyton, esquire.

Content:
Detention of deeds relating to messuages and land in Haughton, Swynney, and the lordship of Malvnslygh, leased to complainant during the life of Margery Eyton, late the wife of the said Lewis.

Salop

Question: Is this a Margaret Blount, said to have married Lewis Eyton of Eyton?

Unfortunately, i can't find dates for this entry.

Thanks for any information,

J. Sardina

This entry is also in the The National Archives' Catalogue at https://discovery.nationalarchives.gov.uk/details/r/C7470235 (for C1/420/12), where it is dated 1515-1518 (apparently on the basis that the Chancellor under which the case was heard was Cardinal Thomas Wolsey).

Great

I did get see the page where the images are available. Thanks.
I guess the date of 1515 to 1518 makes sense. Apparently Lewis was dead by 1514, from other sources to be verified. The writing is not exactly easy to read. I will try deciphering it.

Various internet pages and the visitation of 1623 say that Lewis's other wife, Anna, was the mother of his children. The visitation of 1623 doesn't mention Margery, but apparently she was probably recently deceased. If so, I think she may have been the second wife.

If the lands belonged to her husband, and his sons, I would think the Eytons had the right to revoke any agreements made by Margaret.

Not if Margaret had a life interest in the lands, eg as widow of Lewis either by marriage settlement or dower rights, in which case she could put a tenant in for the period that she owned that interest (ie her lifetime).
