I have nothing on the Mowbrays of Easby after Christopher Mowbray 'gentleman' who died in January 1482. I doubt that they have any connection with Mowbrays in Leicestershire, but you never know. > > Regards, > John Dear Neil, I was wondering where you got your information from. It it appears to be a very badly garbled version of the Visitation of London, 1663-5, pedigree of Smithsby, which shows William Smithby of Melton Mowbray, Leicestershire marrying Ursula, daughter of Nicholas Browne of Melton [Mowbray]. https://books.google.co.uk/books?id=NvwUAAAAQAAJ&pg=PA247 Also the will of Roland Emmerson of Stanhope, co. Durham, dated 15 March 1560, which mentions his son-in-law John Mowbray. https://books.google.co.uk/books?id=6msS60oOxrgC&pg=RA1-PR7&dq#v=onepage&q&f=false Still can't help you. Regards, John
