Thomasine Belgrave married Edward Frost, son of John Frost and Ann Scott, on 26 July 1585 at Glemsford, co Suffolk, England.8,7 Thomasine Belgrave died after 26 July 1616; as she was mentioned in her husband's will.8,7. Her married name was Frost.

Thomasine Belgrave married Edward Frost 26 Sep 1585 in Glemsford, Suffolk, England.[3]
