ACTON, Laurence (d.1410), of Newcastle-upon-Tyne, Northumb.

Submitted by legacy on
Family and Education
s. and h. of Laurence Acton† (d.1386/7) of Newcastle-upon-Tyne by his w. Elizabeth, da. of Sir William Sturmyn. m. at least 1s.Arch. Aeliana n.s. i. 30; (ser. 4), xiv. 30. The Acton family pedigree as set out in Hist. Northumb. v. 467; vii. 369 is confused, failing to distinguish clearly between successive generations. It was almost certainly the MP’s son and namesake who married a wife named Maud; no definite evidence survives about the identity of his own wife.
