Subject: Descents From Edward III For 1st Baron Wenlock (1784-1852)
Date: 4 Apr 2007 17:25:53 -0700


Paul Beilby Lawley Thompson, 1st Baron Wenlock (1784-1852) has several
descents from Edward I through his paternal line, the Lawleys,
Baronets of Spoonhill, Shropshire. The paternal line of his mother
Jane Thompson goes back to Sir Henry Thompson (c.1625-1683), a wealthy
wine merchant from York who served as Lord Mayor of that city in 1663
and 1672. But through his Beilby ancestry he has some descents from
Edward III. Three of them from Joan Beaufort are given below.
