Anne was a daughter of William and Thomasine, she went to Ireland to a prosperous family.All her descendants below are my ancestors.Sir Nicholas' grandson was 1st Viscount of Gosford.I am not sure why one of his youngest children was not inWilliam's will, maybe she was disowned for going off to Ireland, it would not be the first time in my family.
Sincerely David
