Philippa Harcourt, wife of John Delves

In Wedgwood's _History of Parliament, 1439-1509_ (1:267), Sir John
Delves of Doddington, Cheshire (1418-1471) is stated to be the son of
John Delves of Doddington (d. 1429), by his wife Philippa Harcourt. Is
anyone aware of Philippa's parentage (I don't have access to Ormerod &
so don't know whether his Delves pedigree would shed any light on

Tim Powys-Lybbe...

Scan sent off list.

this)? It would seem quite possible to me that she might be a daughter
of Sir Thomas Harcourt of Stanton Harcourt but the pedigree of that
family in _Plantagenet Ancestry_ (376-377) provides no indication of
any use of the name Philippa.

Tim Powys-Lybbe...

According to the pedigree on p. 522 of Vol 3 of Ormerod, the Sir John
Delves who d, 7 Hen 6 (1429) m.

"Philippa, daughter of ...... Mainwaring, of Norwood, 20 Ric 2, buried
at Wilmabury, 1420 (daughter of ... Harcourt of Ellenhall and mother of
Thos., Margery, Eliz., Margaret and Joan Collins [I didn't know she was
that old!].)"

His second son, another Sir John Delves m.

"Elen, daughter to Ralph Eggerton of Wrinehill (married by
dispensation, [3d of May] 1429) [Lich. D. Reg.]"

The text on p, 520 covers these generations but does not add anything
to the above, nor does it make it any clearer.

Cheers,
