Hi Paul:
Thanks for your wonderful summary of the Gavaston, Driby and Mallory families.
It seems clear to me that Amy de Gavaston's husband, John de Driby, must have
been the heir male of Joan de Tateshall's son, John de Driby. I say that
because several Tateshall-Driby properties including Breedon and Abkettleby,
co. Leicester ended up going to Amy and John's descendants.
I haven't looked at the chronology but it seems a slight possibility to me that
the Thomas de Driby who was the father of Amy de Gavaston's husband John de
Driby was a son of Robert and Joan (de Tateshall) de Driby. If correct, then
I suppose that Thomas was Robert and Joan's eldest son and that his son, John
(husband of Amy) was illegitimate.
There similarly seems to have been another unexplained relative in the
Driby-Tateshall family. I have learned that Joan de (Tateshall) de Driby
conveyed part of her Tateshall inheritance in Yorkshire to James de Roos of
Gedney, co. Lincoln and to his wife Maud, with the remainder going to the right
heirs of Maud. As such, I think it is safe to assume that Maud de Ros was a
near relative to Joan. However, Maud can not have been Joan's daughter,
otherwise she would have been a co-heiress with Joan's known daughter, Alice de
Bernak. Got any ideas who Maud de Ros was?
As for the children of Alice de Driby and Anketill Mallory, I can confirm that
they did have a daughter, Margery, who married Robert Moton. Margery is
mentioned by name in her mother's will.
All for now. Best always, Douglas Richardson
