[Much of this page was first launched on 18.12.08 as a Draft page (Barley01).]
| We have seen a web site (FabPedigree.com) which provides the following pedigree that links to what we show below: Simon (a 1066) father of John father of Robert father of John father of Roger father of Ralph father of Robert father of John (a 1270) father of George father of George father of Richard father of the following John (m. Joan de Lee) father of John (m. Catherine de Walden) father of Henry m. Anne Colvill) father of William (m. Elizabeth Darcy) father of Henry (m. Anne Grey) father of Elizabeth (m. Edward Leventhorp). Whilst the later generations largely follow VCH (see note just below), and whilst the early generations appear to offer some overlap with what is shown (with a significant caveat) on Bailey1 (a Draft page), we have not yet determined what connection (if any) there was between the Barleys of Barley (Hertfordshire) and the Barleys or Baileys of Barley/Bailey (Derbyshire) AND we have not yet obtained comfort that other sources have not mixed-up those families. For the moment we are 'playing safe' and show below only what we have some confidence in (even though VCH offers some contradiction, as reported below). Chauncy & MGH start with ... | |||||||||||||||
| John Barley of Albury & Patmore, Sheriff of Essex & Hertfordshire (d 1445) | |||||||||||||||
| m. Joan de la Lee (dau/coheir of Sir John de la Lee of Albury) | |||||||||||||||
| VCH (Hertfordshire, vol 3, Parishes - Braughing) shows the manor of Cockhamsted (which apparently was linked to Albury) passing from John & Joan to John (d 02.1445-6, m. "Katherine of the Prior of Anglesey") to Henry (d 1475) father of William (d 03.1521-2) father of Henry (d 1529) father of William father of the Dorothy who married Thomas Leventhorpe. MGH (NS5 vol 3 (1918), p65+) shows John as father (by Joan) of Henry father (by Katharine (d 1464), dau/heir of John de Walden) of William (m. Elizabeth Darcy) & Thomas. Chauncy shows as follows ... | |||||||||||||||

| i. | Henry Barley of Albury, Sheriff of Hertfordshire & Essex (b 1487, d 12.11.1529, MP) | ||||||||||||||
| Chauncy reports that Henry married Lady Anne, widow of Edward, Lord Grey. As no other marriage was mentioned, this implies that she was mother of his children (William, Anthony, Anne, Margaret & Elizabeth). However, HoP ("Henry Barley") reports that he married as shown below, with "at least 1s." by Elizabeth Northwood and "1s. 3da." by Ann Jerningham. His son William is reported to have been aged 19 when Henry made his will (10.1529) and it is thought that Lord Edward Grey, one of Anne Jerningham's earlier husbands, died not long before 1517. Accordingly, Elizabeth must have been mother of at least William. | |||||||||||||||
