General Notes

[jweberTYRR.ged]

I have pieced together a partial ancestry for Jane beyond her father William, who is indicated by many sources, based on a posting to soc.genealogy.medieval.  The posting, which is given below, only gives the barest sketches.  I have been able to fill in some of it with additional information from other sources (it is all very tentative). Perhaps Douglas Richardson will elaborate more on the pedigree in his forthcoming new edition of Faris' Plantagenet Ancestry.  ##find ancestors

"One well known family that descends from the Dammartin family above is the Tyrrell family of Essex.  The connection comes through an early Tyrrell wife who was a Borgate heiress of Suffolk.  The Borgate family in turn descends from Galiena de Dammartin, an heiress of the Dammartin family above.  The Tyrrell family included the Borgate arms among their quarterings.

As for Galiena de Dammartin, my research indicates she also descends from the well known Gournay family, her paternal grandmother being a Galiena de Gournay.  Galiena de Gournay was a member of a cadet branch of the Gournay family, of Norfolk and co. Oxford.

I have a passing interest in the Tyrrell-Borgate-Dammartin link, as my children descend from the Tyrrell family."
