Just as a minor question. The Clarksons, is this a Gateway family or is it the family of the eponymous Jeremy Clarkson of BBC notoriety - this would be very interesting as little is known about his paternal ancestors, except that his father was Edward Grenville Clarkson (1932-1994).

The first document is dated 1514. It concerns an agreement between Richard Stanhope and Sir Edward Darell and his wife [Alice] and her daughter, Margaret Stanhope. We learn from this document that Edmund Stanhope, the former husband of Alice, died sometime before 27 November 1514. The second document is undated but appears to refer to Alice, widow of Edmund Stanhope and Sir Edward Darell. It is taken from the online Discovery catalogue.
