SUPPLEMENTARY NOTES PEDIGREE V.

I.  1334.  John de Malteby, Kt., accused of breaking a close at Lyng (Lynn ?), Norfolk; also Robert, his son, and Ralph sire Tonesporest de Malteby (i.e. his chaplain).  Another item in 1350 concerning Robert de Mauteby, chivaler and John, his brother, is a complaint against them for driving arsay cows at Merkesale and Castyre, by Norwich.

1374.  Sir John de Mauteby, son of Sir John, was buried before the alter of St. Mary in the parish church of Fritton St. Edmund, where he lived, Suffolk.

II.  Thomas Malby.  Is this the Thomas Malby who was Mayor of Limerick in 1401?  And where is the Limerick referred to?

1413.  Robert Mauteby, Esq., enfeoffed Sir Miles Stapleton, Sir Simon Reltrigge, Sir William Argentein and others in the Manor of Fritton, Suffolk, with other lordships in Norfolk, etc.  Ftom these notes it would appear that the Malbys of Pedigree V. and of Pedigree IV.-A were nearly related.

1435.  Robert Malteby, Esq., d. before this date.  He had a share in the Manor of Evarwartown, Suffolk.  (Vide p. 500. Cal. Pat. Rolls.)

IV.  Edward Malbye, gent., son and heir of John, had a manor in the parish of Stonham Aspal, Suffolk.  He d. about 1654.  In the church are to be seen the Arms of Malbye as follows: Arms of Malbye—Arg. on a bend between 2 cotises engrailed gules.  3 garbs, ppr.  (Vide Supplement to the Suffolk Traveller, pp. 616-617, Compiled by Augustine Page, 1844.)

Note. – Compare this coat-of-arms with that of the Mautebys, granted 1612, as follows: Ermine, on a bend gules between 2 cotises engrailed of the second (gules) 3 garbs or.  If Mautebey came from Maltby, it is not difficult to see Mauteby into Mautebey.  Also see Arms Pedigree XIV.

Edward Malby, son and heir of John Malby of Stonham Aspall, was admitted a barrister at law at Lincoln’s Inn on 6 Feb., 1609-10.  (Vide Lincoln Inn Reg., Vol. I., p. 152: pub. 1896.)

For further and more complete records see Supplementary Notes to Pedigree II., from which we see that the wife of Edward Malby was very evidently Annie Ward, dau. of ---- Ward and Anne For the; she was presumably a dau. of Robert For the, sheriff in 1596.

ADDENDA PEDIGREE V.

MALBY OF STONEHAM ASPALL

A valuable addition to this pedigree has been sent the compiler by Douglas B. Thompson, Esq., a genealogist, of Washington, D. C.  Instead of this pedigree ending with Edward Malby, son and heir, we find these names of other children of John Malby, viz.:

Thomas Maltby, second son.

Mary, wife to Thomas Jacob of Creating in Suffolk.

Anne, wife to Sir Joseph Hayes, son of Thomas Hayes of London, Alderman and Kt., maior 1615.
