  • Notes 
    • Early Life
      Anne Dalyson was born in the 1470-1480s (she died in 1558) and her husband was also born probably in 1470s. Her father was William Dalyson of Laughton.

      Family Life
      Anne married Humphrey FitzWilliam of Clayworth. They had six sons and four daughters.


      1. Death
        Anne was buried on the 30th of June 1558 at Clayworth in Nottinghamshire. The tomb of her husband Humphrey has a brass memorial inscription on top that reads:
        Humphry Fitzwilliam ?? was buryed at Clayworth ye xxviii day of October A° 1556. Who had to wife Anne one of ye daughters of William Dalyson of Laghton [Laughton] in the county of Lincolne Esquire, which Anne was buryed at Clayworth the last day of June Ao1558 and had issue sonnes William, Charles, Roger, Thomas, Edward, Humfray & daughters Elizabeth, Margaret, Dorothy and Anne. Whose soules God pardon.


        Dalyson name
        According to Burke's Extinct and Dormant Baronetcies (1841), the Dalyson name
        ...is stated to have derived from William D'Alanzon, one of the companions in arms of the Conqueror.
        Though this claim is made by basically every English family ever, so to be treated with the usual pinch of sodium chloride.

        Footnotes
        In the Visitation of Lincolnshire1 an 'Anne', daughter to 'William Dallison', is noted as having married Edward Tirwitt of Stainfield. Burke's Extinct Baronetcies (1841)2 has:
        Edward Tyrwhitt, esq. who settled himself at Stainfield, and marrying Anne, daughter of William Dallyson, es. of Loughton, in Lincolnshire, and sister of Sir William Dallyson, one of the judges of the court of King's Bench.

        This 'Anne' is a different person, probably the niece of Anne of this page. Indeed, looking at the Dallison pedigree in the same Visitation1, we see that the Anne who married Edward Tirwitt [sic] of Stainfield was the niece of the Anne (though she is not named on this pedigree) who married 'FitzWilliams of Chaworth [sic; aka Humphrey FitzWilliam of Clayworth]. To confirm this conclusion, Anne is noted in Lincolnshire Pedigrees2 to have married Humphrey Fitzwilliam of Clayworth (which is where she is said to have been buried).
