The following are suggestions as to the identity of the wife of William de Aldeburgh [d1388] and that of his father Ivo de Aldeburgh.

William de Aldeburgh In 2008 Douglas Richardson supplied details of the seal of Elizabeth, wife of William de Aldeburgh which determined that she was not a De L'Isle.

An angel, half-length, wearing an embroidered robe, supporting before him two small shields of arms: dex., a lion rampant, Aldeburgh (see previous seal), sin., a lion rampant. Within a carved gothic panel. Legend wanting." [Reference: Birch Cat. of Seals in the British Museum 2 (1892): 412 ; 6801. [A.D. 1368]. Red: fine but fragmentary, [Add. ch. 26,770.]

The description of the dexter side of the seal corresponds closely with that of Mowbray of Colton: Gules, a lion rampant argent within a bordure engrailed. Intriguingly, in 26 Edw 3 William, son of Ivo of Aldeburgh grants to John, son of William Moubray, and Margaret his wife my manor of Aldeburgh in Richmondshire [Yorkshire Archaeological Journal vol 6 1881: p421]

The suggestion is that Elizabeth, wife of William de Aldeburgh is a daughter of John Mowbray and Margaret Percy.

Ivo de Aldeburgh On the National Archives website there is the following entry

I, Margery, who was the wife of Nich. Ward of Bubwyth hold for my life certain lands in Bubwyth of which the reversion belongs to Sir Wm. de Aldeburgh, chivaler & w. Eliz. which lands before this time I have attorned to the said Wm. & Eliz. by the concession of Ric. de Wateby, citizen of York. [1357-1358]DDTO K 23/19  1357/8; Lancashire Record Office.

The wife of William Mowbray of Colton , son of John Mowbray and Margaret Percy was Margaret Chaumont, whose mother Janette was the daughter of Richard de Wateby.

The suggestion is that Mary, wife of Ivo de Aldeburgh is Mary de Wateby , is a daughter of Richard de Wateby and Janette's sister.
