| b. | Edmund Roberts of Willesden (d 1585) the first mentioned by BEB1841 | ||||||||||||||
| BEB1841 reports that Edmund had 3 sons (Francis, Thomas & Edmund) and 3 daughters (Katherine, Elizabeth & Mary) by his 1st wife, Katharine Chester, and does not name his later wives. We show what was given in 'The Genealogist' which is supported by Mundy & Visitation (Leicestershire) except that the latter do not mention Frances Wells but attribute her children to Katharine (and omit the Mary & Thomas who d infant). | |||||||||||||||
| m1. Katharine Chester (dsp, dau of Edward Chester of Royston, sister of Sir Robert) | |||||||||||||||

| m. (19.10.1600) Mary Glover (a 07.1616, dau of Sir William Glover, alderman of London) | |||||||||||||||
| (i) | Sir William Roberts of Willesden (b 21.04.1604, d 19.09.1662, MP, 2nd son) | ||||||||||||||
| BEB1841 suggests that it was this Sir William who was created a baronet. However, TCB (vol 3, 'Roberts of Willesden', p233) reports that it was his son who was the 1st baronet. That is supported by 'The Genealogist'. | |||||||||||||||
| m. (22.02.1623-4) Ellenor or Anne Aty (b 04.06.1608, bur 22.11.1678, dau/heir of Robert Aty or Atye of Kilburn Priory by Jane, dau of Sir John St. John) | |||||||||||||||

| ((1)) | William Roberts of Willesden (bpt 08.04.1673, d 11.12.1700) | ||||||||||||||
| BEB1841 shows that this William inherited the baronetcy of his cousin, the William just above. However, TCB points out that he had no right to do so (this being a consequence of the BEB1841 apparently wrongly mistaking which generation of Sir Williams was the one who was created a baronet). | |||||||||||||||
| m. Elizabeth Howard (dau of Francis Howard, Lord of Effingham, m2. William Hutchinson) | |||||||||||||||
| ((A)) | William Roberts (bpt 20.08.1700, d 01.10.1700) | ||||||||||||||
