Biography

Katharine Cranfield "Katherin Cranfeild"[1]

Origin

Katharine was born c. 1502 at Barford Parish, Bedfordshire, England.[1] She was the heiress of the Cranfields of Great Barford Parish, Bedfordshire, England.[2]

Her birth date, 1502, is a guess, based on her marriage in 1522.

Marriage

Katharine married in "Ao 13 Hen. 8" (1522) to William Glover (later Cranfield).[1] Apparently, "William Glover of Kempston Parish, Bedfordshire" was originally named Glover, and he "adopted" the surname of his wife, Katherine Cranfield, who was a rich heiress.[3] Their children all had the name Cranfield.[3]

Children:[1]

  1. William Cranfield died without issue
  2. Elizabeth Cranfield; mar in 1546 to William Carter of Bromham

Death and Legacy

Katharine died in "27 Hen. 8" (1536) at Barford Parish, Bedfordshire, England .[1]

Note: Henry 8th's reign began on 21 April 1509.[4]

This profile originally stated she died at Kempson, Bedfordshire, England, which was the home of her daughter Elizabeth (Cranfield) Carter. According to Blaydes, Katharine died in 1536, the same year her husband made his will. If Kartharine's husband predeceased her, possibly she went to live with her daughter, but is there evidence of this (her death at Kempson)?[citation needed]

Her husband's true LNAB was Glover, not Cranfield. It appears that she did not use Glover as a surname after her marriage, as her husband changed his name to hers.

I am a descendant.
