Biography
Sir William Gascoigne, Justice of the Peace for Bedfordshire, Huntingdonshire, Northamptonshire, Middlesex, & Buckinghamshire was born circa 1470 at Cardington, Bedfordshire, England.[1] This date may have to be brought back to 1560 if his son John was really born in 1579.
He was a Knight of the Shire for Bedfordshire in 1529 and 1536[2]
Marriage
His first marriage was to Elizabeth Vynter, daughter of John Vynter of Cardington. They had one son, John Gascoigne. [3] The Visitation of Bedfordshire shows just the one child for him, but the PhD thesis names two daughters Agnes (Ann) and Joan. He married (2) between 1521 - 1527, Elizabeth Pennington, daughter of Sir John Pennington and Isabel Broughton.[4][1][5][6][7]; No children are recorded.
He was knighted in France in June 1520 at the Field of Cloth of Gold [8]
Death
- Sir William Gascoigne died shortly after 17 March 1540.[9]

The Visitations of Bedfordshire 1566, 1582 and 1634, publisher The Harleian Society 1884, editor Frederic Augustus Blaydes, shows Sir William Gascoigne of Carington (sic) Knt marrying an unnamed daughter and heir of John Vynter of Carington. But it doesn't show the marriage to Elizabeth Pennington. However http://www.historyofparliamentonline.org/volume/1509-1558/member/gascoigne-sir-william-1485-1540 shows both marriages.
