Hi all,
I've traced back to a Mary Hallows (1710-1763) who married a Thomas Burwell (1700-1758) and had a daughter Susannah Burwell in 1738, from whom I descend. Alternate spellings include Hallowes and Burrell. The family resided in Cowbit, Lincolnshire.
On Family Search it shows Mary as being the first child of Thomas Hallowes and Lady Catharine Brabazon, who had married in 1709. However, I'm not seeing any record to substantiate this.
Lady Catharine is a daughter of Chambre Brabazon, the 5th Earl of Meath.
Does anyone have anything to confirm or deny if Mary is the daughter of Lady Catharine?

According to this,Thomas's will in 1724 doesn't mention a Mary but does mention their other children, see under Thomas Hallowes Wills which is item 22

A bit churlish to leave her out if she had existed.

Interesting. She's not mentioned in the family entry in Burke's Landed Gentry either.

Couldn't post these yesterday (guessing you've already seen them).
Thomas Hallowes background in footnote:

A family tree for Catherine & Thomas, have you tried looking at the births of the children in case that rules out a birth for practical reasons?

Oh thanks for that. again no evidence of Mary.
On the practical side her birth to that couple is possible.
