Charles Stanley married "1650, Dorothea Helena (Maid of Honour to the Queen of Bohemia), da. of Jan VAN DEN Kerckhove, LORD OF HEENVLIET in Zealand, by Catherine, suo jure COUNTESS OF CHESTERFIELD."[1]

She was naturalised as English by an act of Parliament, brought up on 27 August 1660 abd passed 13 September 1660.[2][3]

She died 6 April 1703 and was buried 16 April 1703 at Ormskirk.[1][4]

Research Notes

She married in 1650, so she can not be the daughter of Katherin Wotton, who married van den Kerckhoven in 1641. Her Dutch wikipedia entry gives the uncertain place and uncertain date of her birth. Robertson-6617 12:47, 4 February 2024 (UTC)
