s. and h. of Thomas Cricklade*; bro. of John* and ?William*. educ. ?Staple Inn, G. Inn or M. Temple. J.H. Baker, Men of Ct. (Selden Soc. supp. ser. xviii), i. 550. Cricklade’s membership of Gray’s Inn or Middle Temple is inferred from his participation in a moot with known members of these Inns: Readings and Moots, i (Selden Soc. lxxi), pp. lviii-lix. The Staple Inn lawyer, who was sued for unpaid commons in 1461, may have been a different man, but no such individual is otherwise known. Alternatively, the original writ for the action may have been sued out in Cricklade’s lifetime a few years earlier. m. at least 1s. C1/44/93; Wilts. Arch.

CRESSY, Sir John (d.1445), of Dodford, Northants. and Wheathampstead, Herts.

Submitted by Anonymous (not verified) on
Family and Education
b. Dodford, 25 Mar. 1407, 2nd s. of John Cressy (d. 1 Oct. 1407) of Dodford by his w. Christine (d.c.1465); bro. and h. of Thomas Cressy (d. 30 Oct. 1407). CIPM, xix. 370-8. On the evidence of two brasses in the church of Dodford, the one to our MP’s parents, and the other to William Wylde (d.1422) and Cecily, our MP’s maternal grandmother, it has been naturally assumed that Wylde was our MP’s maternal gdfa. and that the two brasses were commissioned by our MP’s mother: Trans. Mon. Brass. Soc. xii (3), 212-13; J. Bridges, Northants. i. 55-56. But the record evidence shows that Wylde was not our MP’s gdfa. but rather the 2nd husband of his mother: CP40/651, rot. 370. Thus, eccentrically, our MP’s mother set up a joint brass to her second husband and her mother. m. Constance (d.1486), da. of Reynold, Lord Grey of Ruthin, by his 2nd w. Joan (d.1448), da. and h. of Sir William Astley of Astley, Warws., 1s. Kntd. ?5 Nov. 1429.
