Oxfordshire / Richard Mayotte, Eleanor Wroughton and the Paulets
« on: Tuesday 05 December 23 06:48 GMT (UK) »
Hi everyone,
There seems to be some conflicting information out there on the link between the Mayottes, Wroughtons and Paulets. My family tree goes back to Richard Alan Mathews Mayotte (1515-1579) who was the Mayor of Abingdon. He married somebody called Eleanor Wroughton (1510-1614).
Because I naively followed some tips on Ancestry.co.uk via family trees, it made a link with the Paulet family: Eleanor's father was Sir Giles Wroughton and Katherine Paulet. Great, I thought, a family link with the Marques of Winchester! But then i saw the slightly odd timeline for her parents:
Sir Giles Wroughton (1564-1626) & Katherine Paulet (1566-1613).
I then looked at some other family trees which stated her parents were:
Sir Giles Wroughton (1480–1520) & Katherine Paulette (1490–)
These dates seem more likely, but were there really two consecutive Sir Giles Wroughtons and Katherine Paulets?? There is a lot less information out there about the earlier 'Katherine Paulette'.
Thanks for any insight you can give.
