b. c.1414, s. and h. of Sir Robert Strelley (d.1438), In The Commons 1386-1421, iv. 507, this Sir Robert is wrongly identified as the Derbyshire MP of 1407. This error arose out a mistake in the writ for the payment of parlty. wages where the MP is named as Sir Robert instead of Sir John Strelley, whose name appears in the official return: C54/257, m. 8d; C219/10/4. Our MP’s father was still an esquire when he took part in the French expedition of 1417: E101/51/2, m. 18. of Strelley by his 1st w. Agnes, da. of Sir Richard Stanhope*; cousin of John*. m. (1) Alice, J.A. Nigota, ‘John Kempe’ (Emory Univ. Ph.D. thesis, 1973), 17. ?1s.; (2) bef. Feb. 1443, Isabel (d. 7 Feb. 1459), niece of John Kemp, cardinal-archbishop of York, and sis. of Thomas Kemp, afterwards bp. of London, at least 2s. 2da. Dist. 1457; Kntd. between 21 Dec. 1459 and 6 Oct. 1460.
