Maude was born in about 1584 and was baptized on 17 November 1584 in Ditchingham, Norfolk. She was the daughter of John Thurton and Grace Shelton.[1][2][3]
Maude married Christopher Calthorpe, Esq. of Cockthorpe and East Barsham, Norfolk, at Broome, Norfolk on 8 September, 1602.[1][2] They settled in Ditchingham.[3]
Col. Christopher Calthorpe (1605-1662),[1][2] baptized on 21 April 1605 at St Mary's, Ditchingham, Norfolk with his father named as Christopher.[4] (some sources give the baptism date as 22 April 1605 - see Christopher's profile)
Grace Calthorpe (wife of Robert Strutt),[1][2][3] baptised at St Mary's, Ditchingham, Norfolk on 22 January 1606/7 with her father named as Christopher[5]
Barbara Calthorpe (wife of Henry Mordaunt),[1][2] baptised at Cockthorpe, Norfolk in November 1608 with her father named as Cristofer, armiger[6]
Matilda Calthorpe,[1][2] baptised at Cockthorpe, Norfolk on 3 January 1613/4 with her father named as Cristofer[7]
Philip, baptised at Cockthorpe, Norfolk on 1 March 1614/5 with his father named as Cristofer[8] (not listed by Douglas Richardson)
Robert Calthorpe,[1][2] baptised at St Mary in the Marsh, Norwich, Norfolk on 20 October 1616, died the next day: his parents are named as Maude and Cristofour in the parish register[9]
Francis Calthorpe,[1][2] baptised at St Mary in the Marsh, Norwich on 10 February 1616/7 with his father named as Christopher[10]
Oliver Calthorpe,[1][2] baptised at Blakeney, Norfolk on 12 December 1622 with his father named as Christever Calthorpe Esquire[11]
Maude's mother Grace died in December 1606. The following month, her father John wrote his will (transcription) and Maude was mentioned numerous times (with the spelling Mawde), with both her husband and sister Elizabeth Thurton, as co-heirs to her father's estate.[3]
Besides Maude and her husband, only children Christopher (spelled "Christofer") and Grace were mentioned in the will. Christopher was bequeathed £200 and Grace 200 Marks of "lawfull englishe money".
By 1616, the Calthorpe family was living in Norwich, Norfolk, where son Robert was born and died a day or two later.[9] Later they moved to Blakeney, Norfolk, where their son Oliver was baptised at in 1622,[11] and their daughter Grace was married in 1624.[12]
Christopher, Maude's husband, died on 14 March 1624,[13] and presumably Maude herself died a few days later, as she was buried on March 27, 1624.[1][2]
Research Notes
Maude (Thurton) Calthorpe is listed in Magna Carta Ancestry in a Richardson-documented trail from Gateway AncestorChristopher Calthorpe to Magna Carta Surety BaronRichard de Clare (vol. I, pages 387-392 CALTHORPE). This profile and its trail to Richard de Clare was developed for the Magna Carta Project by Misty Rish Musco in June 2018. This profile was reviewed/approved for the project on 27 December 2019 and the trail was badged 17 March 2020 by Noland-165. The full trail can be seen in the Magna Carta Trails section of the Gateway's profile. See Base Camp for more information about Magna Carta trails. See the project's glossary for project-specific terms, such as a "badged trail".

Would anyone at the Magna Carta project object if I re-wrote the bio in a more narrative form favored by the England Project? This is in conjunction with my work to greatly expand the profile of her father. She is mentioned extensively in his will, and the information I'd like to include from that will in her profile would fit better if her overall bio was written in a narrative form. Thanks!
Thanks for checking. As a Magna Project leader I would be happy to see a well-sourced rewrite in more narrative style (the current bio is not in my own style). But please do this as a draft on a free space page, and when you are ready, let me know by private message. I can then look at what you have done, and discuss anything with you that needs to be discussed. I may also need to do some detailed fine-tuning to accord with Magna Carta Project guidelines.
If you want any advice from me as you go along, please ask me by private message.
Hi Alice, Could you add the Magna Carta Project to the Manager list? This is so that we can continue to watch over and protect the trail. (Profiles with the project box are requested to be added as managers)
Hi Alice, I am with the Magna Carta Project and I am working on the trail of lineage from Maud's son, gateway ancestor, Col. Christopher Cauthorp and Surety Baron Richard de Clare. I will be working on this profile and others along the trail to make sure that it is abiding to the Profile standards of the Magna Carta Project.
