| BEB1841 suggests that this family "claimed Saxon origin" and identifies its arms as "Or, on a bend raguly sa. three vezants". | |||||||||||||||

| BEB1841, which starts with this John, does not name his wife. Nichols identifies her as Maria Rivet but TCB (vol 2, 'Eldred of Great Saxham', p154) identifies the mother of the baronet as a dau of Reginald Brooke (who later remarried). Provisionally, we presume to show that John married twice, as shown below. | |||||||||||||||
