Biography
Thomas Berkeley first married Margery Bray, the daughter and heir of Robert Bray of Woollaston, Northamptonshire. They had a daughter Katherine. [1]
His second marriage was to Isabel, daughter and heir of Sir John Hamelyn of Wymondham (Leics.) [1]
Thomas died in 1346, leaving Katherine to inherit Wollaston and a son John by his second wife who inherited Coston, Eynesbury, Wymondham and the lands in Gloucestershire. An inquisition Post Mortem was held at Northampton on 9 Mar 1346 in the 20th year of the reign of King Edward III. It found that the manor of Woollaston, held for his life, according to the custom of England, of the inheritance of Margery his wife, daughter and heir of Robert le Bray, knight ; which Robert held the said manor on the day he died, and after his death it descended to the aforesaid Margery by hereditary [right] ; it is held of the king in chief by service of a knight's fee, and 20s. yearly to be paid at the king's castle of Northampton for castle ward, and 30s. yearly to the sheriff of Northampton for [assised] fines. The said manor is of the fee of Chokes. He died on Wednesday next before St. Peter in Cathedra, 20 Edward III. Lady Katherine de la Dale, daughter of the said Thomas and Margery, aged 36 years, is their next heir. [2]
