Notes |
- The compiler of College of Arms MS. Norfolk 4, page 141, was uncertain as to the county in which Sir John Stanhope's abode of "Melford" was located. The entry reads: "Margaret daughter of Sir John Stanhope of Melford in Com: . . . . . . . . Knight" [sic]. "The Bradford Antiquary, The Journal of the Bradford Historical and Antiquarian Society," New Series, volume I. (Bradford, 1900), page 326, identified the place as "Melford, Kent." It is noted, however, that Joseph Hunter, "Familiae Minorum Gentium," volume 3, pages 988-9, identified the father of Margaret Stanhope (the wife of Robert Dyneley) as "Sir John Stanhope of Stotfold in psh. of Hooton Paynel, & of Melwood Park in the Isle of Axholme." Perhaps "Melford" was therefore an error, and ought to read "Melwood."
