Biography
William was the son and heir of John Filoll and Margaret Carent or Caraunt.[1][2] He was said to be age 16 in 1467, pointing to a birth date of about 1451.[1][2]
William married twice. His first wife was Elizabeth Audley or Tuchet, daughter of John Audley or Tuchet and Anne Echingham.[1][2] They were married by covenants dated 24 November 1473.[2] They had no children.[1][2]
William's second wife was Dorothy Ifield.[1][2] They had three children:
- William
- Anne who married Edward Willoughby[1][2]
- Katherine who married Edward Seymour, 1st Duke of Somerset[1][2]
William held lands in Dorset, Somerset and Sussex. His second wife brought him property in Hertfordshire.[1][2] He served as a Justice of the Peace in Dorset.[1][2][3]
On 24 October 1515 William and his wife were pardoned for transferring some property in Dorset to Sir Roger Neuburgh.[4]
In 1520 one of his servants was alleged to have been very seriously injured in an attack in Dorset by Henry Assheleygh.[1][2]
William died on 9 July 1527. His will was dated 14 May 1527 and proved on 15 October 1527. In it he asked for burial at Grey Friars, Salisbury, Wiltshire.[1][2][5]
In his first will, dated 1519, William named his daughter Katherine as his executor. William subsequently disapproved her conduct. Her husband Edward Seymour repudiated her on grounds of adultery.[6] She was not an executor of his second, 1527, will, in which he left her only a small estate in Sussex and an annuity of £40 "as long as she shall live virtuously and abide in some house of religion of women."[7]
William's second wife remarried, her second husband being John Rogers.[1][2]
A Parliamentary Act of 22 Henry VIII (1530/1) referred to William as having "many sondrie and inconstant fantasies in his latter daies [last years]."[1][2]

I will put the correct citation on the profile of Filliol-11. Please do the same where you cite this source on any other profiles, including Elizabeth Gainsford. As I said, there were a lot of volumes (in several series) of Miscellanea Genealogica and Heraldica. With Google Books it is easy to find out which volume something comes from.
The pedigree is allegedly from the 1623 Visitation of Dorset. See page 188. Only a lot of it appears not to be. You can see the Visitation of Dorset, which does not name the parents of William Filliol who married Elizabeth Gainsford, at https://archive.org/details/visitationofcound00stge/page/n57/mode/2up. Better sourcing is definitely needed before trying to connect Filliol-11 up to Reginald brother of the William of this profile.

I am adding the Visitation Addendum to the citations on Filliol-11, with a slight warning. It is probably better to use it as the citation rather than Misc. Gen. et Her. And it would still be sensible to look for other sources as we have no idea where the editor of the Harleian Society volume got the info in the Addendum from.
As I said, any reference to Misc. Gen. et Her. needs to be precise so we know exactly what the source is.
