Notes

Anne (will proved 21 Mar 1517/8; bur. Ormesby), presumed only daughter & therefore heiress of Robert Conyers of Ormesby and Eleanor (living 1438), married James Strangeways of Sneton and Ormesby (will 10 Apr 1507; proved 02 Jun 1508 York), son of Sir James III Strangeways and Elizabeth Darcy.

The line of Conyers of Ormesby therefore ended here, and the title and lands of Ormesby passed to the name of Strangeways.

The missing Eleanor! Parents are William Yelverton and Ela Brewes. She has their only child Ann while very young; John Conyers her father-in-law dies in 1438, her husband Robert dies soon after Ann's birth in 1439, and the estate of Conyers of Ormesby passes via Ann to the Strangeways.

XLVIH. TESTAMENTUM JOHANNIS CONYERS DE ORMESBT MILITIS.

The connection of the house of Conyers of Ormesby with the two powerful families of that name at Sockburn and Hornby has never been correctly ascertained. This will, however, furnishes much interesting information to the genealogist.

The testator, who administered to his father Sir Robert Conyers's effects 18 July, 1432, was the grandson of another Sir Robert Conyers of Ormesby, in right of his wife Juliana, the daughter and heiress of William Percy of Ormesby, Esq. He married, according to some memoranda in the handwriting of an early member of the Bowes family, Isabella, daughter of Sir Ralph Eure. His children were—Robert, who is mentioned with his wife in the present will. He died soon after his father, and John Fentres of Gisburn has a grant of the administration of his goods 18 June, 1439. Anne, daughter and heiress of Robert Conyers of Ormesby became the wife of James Strangeways.

The names of two other of Sir John's children have occurred to me, Christopher and Henry. On the 10th of June, 1452, the administration of their effects is granted by the Archbishop of York to Sir William Eure, Knight, Robert Eure, Esq. Sir John Asfordby, master of the hospital in Bootham, and Hugh Forster of Witton in Weardale.

+ Christopher Conyers of Hornby, the father of some twenty-five children who spread the name of Conyers through the counties of York and Durham, was, I am persuaded, tlie first cousin to the testator. His father Sir John, the founder of the lordly house of Hornby, was, I believe, a son of the elder Sir Robert Conyers of Ormesby, the grandfather of the testator. The relationship between the houses at Sockburne and Hornby is still an open question.
