Research Notes:
A pedigree reports three daughters and one son: Eleanor, the wife of Robert Revell of Higham, and Elizabeth the wife of James Oxley, Catherine the wife of John Bakewell, and Robert Frescheville. [9] The family was also discussed in Memorials of the Holles Family which omits Catherine and names the son as John. [10]
1528-1529 Three daughters of Anker Frechevile [Frecheville] were named in a court case concerning lands in Newark. "Robert Revell and Eleanor, his wife, James Oxley and Elizabeth, his wife, and Elizabeth Bawkewell, daughter of Katherine Frechevile. v. Randall Rye of Whitwell, esquire.: Detention of deeds relating to messuages and land in Newark late of Ankar Frechevile, gentleman, deceased, father of the said Eleanor, Elizabeth Oxley, and Katherine. (Interpleader annexed of John Leeke, gentleman.). Nottingham." [11]
The fourth quartering (of John Revell's arms in 1562) represents his father's (Robert Revell) marriage to Eleanor Frescheville, who was daughter and co-heiress of Anker Frescheville (who was the fourth son - hence the martlet for difference) by Isabel, daughter and heiress of Thomas Wakefield of Newark, whose arms are in the fourth quarter. [12]
Eleanor Frecheville was daughter and co-heirress of Anker Frescheville, fourth son of Peter Frescheville. [13]
Robert Revell, son of John Revell and Margaret Eyre, married Eleanor Frecheville, of Staveley. [14]
