Hi Benjamin:
Eleanor Hungerford, wife successively of John White, Gent., Sir William Tyrrell
and Sir Henry Fitz Lewis, was the daughter of Robert Hungerford, Lord
Hungerford and his wife, Margaret Botreaux. Eleanor appears to have been born
somewhere about 1433-1435, as her third husband was born no earlier than 1433.
Her brother, Robert Hungerford, Jr., was born circa 1429, as he was aged
thirty in 1459. Eleanor had her first known child by her White marriage in
1456.
Eleanor is specifically mentioned in the visitations of Hampshire and Essex as
being the daughter of Robert, Lord Hungerford. She is not mentioned in the
Hungerford pedigree in the visitation of Gloucester. But, she had at least one
sister, Mary, who also wasn't mentioned in the Hungerford pedigree in the
Gloucester visitation.
You have the children right for the next generation. However, it appears that
Eleanor Moleyns had TWO daughters named Frideswide, not one. One of them was
by her Hungerford marriage, and the other was by her Manningham marriage. The
Hungerford girl named Frideswide lived to adulthood and became a nun, the
Manningham girl named Frideswide married and left issue.
All for now. As ever, Douglas Richardson
