The Berkeley Castle Muniments [BCM/G/4/13/1] preserve the marriage settlement, dated 16 November 1391, of Robert Cranford of South Newington, Oxfordshire, and Alice Dauntsey, daughter of Walter Dauntsey, of la Wyke, just across the Thames from Oxford in Berkshire. Do Alice and Walter belong to the Dauntsey family of Wiltshire? Walter is clearly not the younger man of the same name who inherited the manor of Dauntsey and died without issue in 1420 [IPM 8 Henry V]. Upon this Walter’s death his sister and heiress Joan, wife of (Sir) John Stradling, carried the manor Dauntsey the Stradling family. F. N. McNamara, Memorials of the Danvers family: 230-233, offers a sketch of this younger man, but, so far as I can tell, identifies no earlier Walters in the Wiltshire family.
