* The printed transcript of this license [Yorkshire Arch. Journ., Vol.11,
page 230] gives Walter Carleton, of Bedford; but Pavers manuscript
[British Museum, Add. MSS. 29667-8, page 168J reads Walter C p Beford. The
transcriber has made a more serious error in the following license, in
making it read Ann Chambers, of St. Michae1s-le-BeIfrey, York. Pavers
original (page 163) reads Ann C p Bef which clearly shows she was at the
time of Beford, where the marriage was to take place. She was doubtless
living with her grandfather Carleton at the time. A footnote commenting on
this license (by Rev. C. B. Nordiffe, M.A.: Yorks. Arch. Journ. 11: 226)
refers to Ann Chambers thus: Probably the daughter of Alan Chamber, aged
16, 1581, by Ann, daughter of John Carleton, of Beeford, by Alice, daughter
of Walter Strickland, of Sizergh, Co. Westmorland. Possibly his widow; whose
grandmother was second wife of Sir Thomas Boynton of Barmston.
Doubtless the Rev. Mr. Noreliffe was familiar with the statement of
Nicholson & Burn in their pedigree of Chamber [Hist. of Westmorland, vol.1,
page 84, 1777] that Alan [Chamber] married Anne, daughter of John Carlton
of Beeforth near Bridlington in Yorkshire; whose mother was daughter of
Walter Strickland of Sizergh, esquire. Probably he was not familiar with
the will of Walter Strickland, which makes a bequest to his daughter Elyn.
and with that of Walters relict, Alice, Lady Boynton, who bequeathed To
Ellenor Carltonn base daughter to my husband Mr Strickland x1i, but who
fails to mention her own daughter Alice, who had probably died unmarried.
Since Alice is the only daughter recorded in the pedigrees, Mr. Nordiffe
lumped to the conclusion that she was the one who was the wife of John
Carleton.
