Families covered: Rawson of Beckfoot, Rawson of Bolton, Rawson of Bradford, Rawson of Halifax, Rawson of Ingrow, Rawson of Stonyroyd
BLG1952 identifies the arms of the following family as "Per fesse wavy sa. and az., guttée d'or, a quadrangular castle with four towers, arg. on a cheif of three ravens heads erased of the first". That suggests that it may have been a cadet branch of one of the families shown on Rawson1. | |||||||||||||||
John Rawson | |||||||||||||||
1. | John Rawson of Ingrow in Keighley, Yorkshire (b 1505, d 11.1564) | ||||||||||||||
A. | John Rawson of Ingrow (b 1535, d before 1590) the first mentioned by Crisp | ||||||||||||||
m. Agnes (d 01.12.1589) | |||||||||||||||
BLG1952 mentions only 1 son in the next generation, Anthony, but identifies him as a younger son. BCG & BFP mention 2 sons, Anthony (whose line is followed) and William (who had 4 daughters by Isabel Fowler, one of whom (Isabella) married John Rawson, leading to her father William being identified as 'of Brackenback'). Following the review& expansion using Crisp on 20.12.24, we have followed Crisp who shows the William of the next generation as being 'of Osbaldwick' and identifies the elder brother of Anthony as the following John, father of William of Brackenback. We give precedence over Burke to Crisp, who provides more details on the people involved and shows the Isabella Rawson who married John of Beckfoot as being of the same generation as that John. | |||||||||||||||

Crisp inserts another generation here, a Thomas of Nottingham (d 28.03.1801) who was father (by _ Lee of Nottingham) of Thomas Jekyll of Nottingham. However, his date of birth supports the view (held by BCG) that Thomas Jekyll was of this generation. | |||||||||||||||
