Hi Canoelover,
I am interested that you mention Gaby which means that you must also have the ancestral chart done by Burke. It is the only place I have seen a mention of the mysterious Gaby and no-one I know has ever found out who she was.
My line is from Duyland to his son William and Miss Strange, they had at least five children - John, my ancestor, Edward, Paul, first Bishop of Bristol, Margery and Margaret.
Miss Strange is a mystery although we know she was "a co-heiress of Glooucestershire" and probably lived in Mounds Court in Syston, Glos. Her father may well have been John Strange and she was possibly a granddaughter or great-granddaughter of a John Strange, born in 1400 and who was Mayor of Cirencester, although it is said that there were no mayors of Cirencester back then so he may have been some leader, something to do with "the staple"
1..John married Elizabeth Ffernefolde and their son
2..William Bushe married Johan Packer.
3..Their son John married Agnes Kitley in 1577 and John, one of their sons who was born in 1594 went to Ireland and married Mary Grey.
Elizabeth, a daughter of that John and Mary married a Mr Hobson and they are ancestors of the Queen Mother and therefore of the Queen and her children and grandchildren.
I am in contact with several people also of this same line and one of them lives the USA and he has been to the College of Arms and the universities to check out all sorts of links to our family. HIs research has been thorough, he has also done a huge study on Cicely Rede (or Ryd) who married Duyland.
We do know that the coat-of-arms that Miss Strange brought to her marriage shows she was from the le Strange line of Knockyn - google that and you will see heaps.
Going back to before Duyland, the name was Deulwyn or Daylwyn, and as far as I know the line is as below,
Duyland Bushe married Cicely Rede, a daughter of Thomas Rede,
David Daylwyn or Deulwyn/Daulwyn of Kidwelly,
John of Carmarthen
Gruffydd ap Maredydd
Maredydd ap Gruffydd,
Gruffydd ap Cadwgan, his three known children were Maredydd, Elen, and Ieuan,
Cadwgan ap Fychan ap Cadwgan of Kidwelly,
Cadwgan Fawr ap Cadwgan who married Alice Cydifor, have you checked out her very royal line of Welsh kings.
Another very notable man who is a direct ancestor of ours was Ieuan Deulwyn and he may have been a brother of Duyland - he was a bard of Glamorgan and there is still writing of his in the Welsh universities.
Keep in touch and email me privately if you wish.
Robin aka King William
