Very interesting post, thanks. Would I be right in conjecturing that
this Richard Hudleston was of the Sawston family? You once mentioned
that you had some particulars of the Sawston line - I would be very
interested to see any data that you may feel able to share.

Kind regards, Michael

Michael,

Yes, you are quite correct this Richard Huddleston is of the Sawston
branch. He was the son of Lady Isabel de Neville and Sir William
Huddleston of Sawston. He married Margery Smythe the dau. of Sir
William Smythe of Elford and his wife, Anne Staunton. Sir William
Smythe's 2nd wife was Lady Isabel Neville, wife of Sir William
Huddleston. This Lady Isabel Neville was the daughter of John Neville
and Isabel de Ingoldesthorpe.
On her mother's side, Margery Smythe goes back to the Stanley of Elford
line.
