Ursula Neville was the youngest daughter of George Neville, K.G., K.B., by his third wife Mary Stafford.[1][2][3][4][5] Her date of birth is unknown and is estimated. Her birthplace is also unknown. Her father was Lord Bergavenny (in Abergavenny, Wales) from 1512 until his death in 1536. He also held positions and lands in Kent and he was buried there. Ursula could have been born in either place or elsewhere.
Ursula married, as his first wife, Warham Saint Leger, Knt., second but eldest surviving son of Anthony Saint Leger, K.G. and Agnes Warham,[1][5] about 1550[6] or perhaps in 1549 at St. Martin, Ludgate, London.[7] According to Richardson, they had five sons and four daughters, although only the names of one son and one daughter have been adequately proven:
Ursula died in 1575. The place of her death and burial are unknown. Warham married second to Emmeline Goldwell[1][5] by 1577.[6]
Wife of William Kingsmill: Richardson states that Ursula and Warham St Leger had a daughter (name unknown) who married William Kingsmill.[1] Some sources state that the wife of William Kingsmill was the daughter of another Warham St Leger (Ursula's husband's nephew of the same name), Warham St Leger (son of William).[5][8] See the research notes on the profile of Ursula's husband, Warham St Leger
The only children of Warham and Ursula known with certainty are Anthony (named in Warham's will) and Anne who married Thomas Digges. Thomas Digges' 1591 will leaves bequests of £50 to his "brothers" George St Leger and William St Leger "who are otherwise unidentified, but appear to have been sons of Sir Warham St Leger".[5]
