Families covered: Burley of Bromcroft Castle, Burley of Burley, Burley of Worrall, Busk of Leeds
This family is reported to have derived its name from Burley in Herefordshire. | |||||||||||||||
Hugh de Burley name found on a web site, Visitation starts with ... | |||||||||||||||
1. | Sir John Burley de Burley (Knight of the Garter) | ||||||||||||||
A. | William Burley of Burley mentioned in Commoners (Gatacre) | ||||||||||||||
B. | Sir Richard Burley (Knight of the Garter) mentioned in Commoners (Gatacre) | ||||||||||||||
C. | Sir Roger Burley | ||||||||||||||
m. Lucy Gilford (dau of William Gilford, relict of _ Browne) | |||||||||||||||
i. | Sir Richard Burley (dsp, Knight of the Garter) | ||||||||||||||
ii. | Sir John Burley of Bromcroft Castle, Sheriff of Shropshire (a 1409) | ||||||||||||||
Visitation identifies him as just 'Sir John Burley Knt.', the extended description coming from Commoners (Gatacre). | |||||||||||||||
m. Alice (or Amy) Pembridge (dau of Richard Pembridge, sister/heir of Walter) | |||||||||||||||
a. | Sir William (probably not Sir John) Burley of Bromcroft | ||||||||||||||
(1) Visitation names him Sir John but: - BP1934 (Cobham) shows Thomas Lyttleton's wife's father as Sir William Burley of Bromscroft Castle; - BE1883 (Lyttleton of Frankley) names him as William Burley of Broomscroft Castle, Speaker of the House of Commons (1436-1443); - BP1934 (Viscount Chetwynd) names him Sir William Burley of Bromsgrove; and - Commoners (Gatacre) names him William Burley of Bromcroft, Sheriff in 1426, Speaker of the House of Commons. It appears that each of 'Bromscroft', 'Broomscroft' and 'Bromsgrove' are wrong. They should read 'Bromcroft'. (2) We are suspicious about Visitation's use of the name John and are concerned that there may be some confusion here, with Sir John and Sir William of Bromcroft having been different people. Each of BP1934 (Cobham), BP1934 (Chetwynd) and BE1883 (Lyttleton) describe Joan/Johanna as Sir William's co-heir, implying that she had a sister who also survived her father, but there may have been more than one Elizabeth Burley around at this time, one daughter of a Sir John and the other daughter of Sir William. None of the sources that name him as Sir William identify his wife so her identity cannot be used to support his. |

(1) | Johanna or Joan Burley (d 22.03.1505) | ||||||||||||||

m2. Sir Thomas Littleton (d 23.08.1481) | |||||||||||||||
