Notes for: Robert Wycliffe

This family comes from An History of Richmondshire, in the North Riding of the County of York; together with those parts of the Everwicschire of Domesday which form The Wapentakes of Lonsdale, Ewecross, and Amunderness, in the Counties of York, Lancaster, and Westmoreland, by Thomas Dunham WHITAKER. London: Longman, Hurst, Rees (and others), 1823. 2 volumes. Here is the info given there on this family:

Robert Wycliffe, third son. Married Margaret, daughter of _____ Talboys, of Thorneton, in Co. Pal. Dun.

The book about the Pearson family (91-92) says that Joan Wycliffe, the daughter of Robert Jackson of Gatenby in Bedale parish, is hard to place among the Wycliffes. She does seem somehow related to this man here, John Wycliffe. She married twice. Her second husband being a John Wycliffe of Richmond, a grandson of the Robert Wycliffe who died in 1494. The book says this, "In her will dated 12th November 1562 she mentions her son, Robert Wycliffe, to whom she left her chattels and land at Aldborough, her sisters-in-law Dorothy and Margery Wycliffe and her brothers-in-law Henry, Anthony and Christopher Wycliffe. Her husband John Wycliffe had previously been married to Mabel, the daughter of Thomas Rokeby of Mortham."
