<< Sir Francis Vincent, 3rd Bart. is far from complete on my website. Burke's

except for the son and heir. The Elizabeth you mention, I have her on my
website as well, but without parents. Do you know which wife is the mother?

Stirnet says they don't know which wife is the mother, and I can't add to
that.
It's an interesting confirmation of the line however that Henry Hildyard is
"of Goxhill, while Burke's 'Anecdotes' confirms that his ancestor Henry Welby
was seated at "Gauxhill, Lincolnshire"

From "Anecdotes of the Aristocracy, and Episodes in Ancestral Story", J
Bernard Burke, 2nd ed. Henry Colburn, London 1849, p 102:
"[The Welby family]...became seated at Gedney, in the same county, by the
purchase of that estate by Adlard Welby, who died in 1571, leaving by his
first wife, Ellen Hall, two sons, Henry and Adlard. He married a second wife, and
left by her both sons and daughters. The elder son by the first marriage,
Henry Welby, having succeeded to the fortune of his father, became seated at
Gauxhill, also in Lincolnshire, and married Alice, one of the daughters of Thomas
White of Woodhead, the county of Rutland, and of Tuxford, in Nottinghamshire,
by Anne, his wife, sister of the Lord Treasurer Burleigh.
"... by his wife he had only one child, a daughter, Elizabeth; and it
would appear that, before he reached his fortieth year, he had become a widower."
