  d. Sir Dudley Carleton, Viscount Dorchester (b 10.03.1573/4, d 15.02.1631/2, Ambassador)
  Each of BE1883 (Carlton of Dorchester), Commoners (Lowndes-Stone of Brightwell Park) and BEB1841 (Garrard of Lamer) identify Dudley's first wife as Anne, dau of George Garrard, son of Sir William of Dorney. However, TCP (Dorchester) identifies her as Anne, dau of Sir Henry Savile by Margaret, widow of George Garrard and dau of George Dacres of Cheshunt. We suspect that TCP is wrong and has confused that Margaret Dacres with a Margaret, dau of George Dacre of Chesham, who married Sir Henry Savile, professor at Oxford University and Provost of Eton. Articles on that Sir Henry in at least 2 online encyclopedias mention him having only one daughter (Elizabeth) who was mother of the dramatist Sir Charles Sedley. We therefore follow the various Burke records in showing Dudley's 1st wife as ...
