I wonder if you have any information you would be willing to share? I'm especially interested in identifying his wife. The family seem to believe she was Mary Seymour but, as Mary had two other well documented husbands in whose mini-biographies she is described has Lord Edward's fourth daughter from a marriage of 1535 which would place her birrth as somewhere about 1542 at the earliest, this is impossible. He is also said to have been married to a woman called Elizabeth Sidney. The only reliable sources for the Sidney family show the only likely candidates as being married to other men.Frank Parkerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06163631587525727876noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-704095971276575721.post-79223398322507932282020-06-12T04:29:54.902+01:002020-06-12T04:29:54.902+01:00This is truly outstanding research.

I have just looked at this on FindMyPast and it does seem to be quite difficult: long, damaged and in Latin. I suspect it may be worth paying someone with the necessary palaeography skills and Latin for a translation. Perhaps the Staffordshire Archives Service could suggest someone?Nick Kingsleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03588322361791532910noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-704095971276575721.post-25099198301002635712020-01-28T16:15:47.857+00:002020-01-28T16:15:47.857+00:00Hi Nick.

I have just found your Agard history which I am thrilled about as my line connects to it via Thomas Kynnersley marrying Margery Agard, daughter of John Agard 1430-1516. I am trying to transcribe John Agard's will and finding it very hard, do you know if there is a transcription online somewhere? Also, there is a line in the will which says "my son Thomas Kynnersley and my son Phylipp Agard" but he doesn't appear in the children of John Agard. Am I reading this right?marilynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09670035919183226188noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-704095971276575721.post-5088893146602397502018-07-21T02:35:04.276+01:002018-07-21T02:35:04.276+01:00Hi Nick, thanks so much for this wonderful history...Hi Nick, thanks so much for this wonderful history. The Agards are my direct ancestors, Sir Thomas Agard of Foston, and his forebears, and then related to the Colcloughs and Beagenals directly as well. <br />Warm regards JillAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04245092212821430503noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-704095971276575721.post-4472735572695979042017-08-21T07:13:21.807+01:002017-08-21T07:13:21.807+01:00The genealogy I provide above is obviously complet...The genealogy I provide above is obviously complete and (especially for the earlier generations) simply omits most daughters. She may well have been a daughter of Ralph Agard (c1461-1516). I fear that at this early date you would need to trawl through deeds and wills to find any evidence. There are some Agard papers in the Derbyshire Record Office, but from memory they are mostly later; it would be worth checking. The Victoria County History of Staffordshire volume covering the Dunstall area has much information on the family and since the two branches were closely linked, this would be worth checking too. No VCH for the relevant bit of Derbyshire yet, I'm afraid.Nick Kingsleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03588322361791532910noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-704095971276575721.post-54698787105940978832017-08-19T02:54:08.218+01:002017-08-19T02:54:08.218+01:00I am looking for the parents of Mabel Agard, 1495 ...I am looking for the parents of Mabel Agard, 1495 who married John Page Cosby(parents of Francis Cosby).
