The Honourable Gilbert Talbot, Esq. was buried 11 April 1702 at St Mary Magdalene Church, Albrighton, Shropshire. (The 1711 date Leo shows is incorrect). He married Jane Flatsbury, who was the "Jana, wife of Gilberti Talbott" buried 9 November 1687 at St Michael Church, Upton Warren, Worcestershire, per the England Death and Burials, 1538-1991 index found in FamilySearch.org Of Jane Flatsbury's parentage, I can so far find nothing. She likely was descended from the Flatsburys of Johnstown. co. Kildare, Ireland, but how exactly remains elusive: See: http://archive.org/stream/journalcountyki02socigoog#page/n124/mode/2up
