Pedigree III - MALTBY

Malbys of Enderby Malbys

“Lincolnshire Pedigrees,” pp. 622-629, Vol. II.; Episcopal Register at Lincoln.

* The date is, of course, wrong and probably the item is not properly transcribed, for the Visit. Of York, edited by Roster, gives:  1.  Wm. Creyke m. Rrances Babthorp:  2.  Ralph Creyke m. Catherine Crathorne:  3.  Everild Creyke, w. of Christopher Maltby, Esq.  As Everild and Christopher Maltby named their daughters:  Catherine, for her mother, Catherine Crathorne; Frances, for her grandmother.  Frances Babthorp; Everild, for herself: it is very good evidence that the Visitat. of York is the correct line of descent.

* Note. – Barons of St. Maur by writ of Summons, dated 29 July, 1314, came from Normandy with William the Conqueror.  County Somerset, England.  The name became corrupted to Seymour.  To this family belonged Jane Seymour, the queen of Henry VIII.;  Edward IV., their son, and the Lord Protector Seymour and also the Lord Admiral Thomas Seymour, the early suitor for the hand of Queen Elizabeth, and who later become the husband of Queen Catherline Parr.

I.  Wiliam Maltby presented to Rectory of Enderby Malbys in 1219.

II.  Robert Malbys m. Beatrice, dau. of --------.

III.  Alan Malbys of Enderby Malby, under age in 1272.  Lord of the Manor of Enderby Malbys in 1293; m. Matida, dau. of Gilbert de Ponte.  Children: Robert (4), John (4), Richard (4).

IV.  Richard Malby, 1316, presents to Rectory of Enderby Malbys.

Note. – Henry Malbys, Rector of Willoughby-by-Alford, Lincoln, 1306, instituted March, 1365-6, by Sir William de Huntingfield, Kt., was evidently descended from this family.  Enderby Malbys is now Maris Enderby.  This family was probably a branch of the Maltbys or Malebisses of Pedigrees I. and II.  From the spelling, Malby, and the name Henry, in this branch, it may be the branch of Sir Nicholas Malby.

SUPPLEMENTARY NOTES PEDIGREE III.

III.  In 1314 we find an Alan de Malteby witnessing a Charter of land near Mer Teyse, York.  It is perhaps more likely that he was a son of Alan (3), Pedigree III.  In 1322, we find an Alan de Malteby a Monk of Whiteby (Whitby ?), York.

Query: Is he the same person, who, in 1356, is called Benedict de Maldeby, who was sued by the Abbot of Whiteby?
