Notes

The children listed above with no spouses in "The Visitations" could have been too young to have had them yet. The dates of birth are not shown, and the (exact) year of the visitation is unclear. It does, however, it shows that Geffrey Ward of Broke in com. Norfolk married Jane Wrighte (da. of Edward Wrighte al's Reve of Thwayte in com. Suff. and (unnamed) Daughter of Edmond Syngleton of Mydlesham in com. Suffolk, Esq).

On Ward/Warde/family

[1] From "The English Baronetage": "WARD, of Bexley, Norfolk. (EDWARD, Esquire,) Created Baronet, Dec. 19, 1660. His family has been long settled in Norfolk, for we find that Ward (a), married to Margaret Mortimer, and had issue by her John Ward, Esq; who was possessed of the manor of Kirby-Bedon, in Norfolk (b), in the year 1363; this John, married the daughter of John de Boscoe, and had issue John Ward, of Kirby, Esq; who married Catherine, daughter of Appleyard, of Dunston, in Norfolk, Esq; and had issue Robert Ward, of Kirby, Esq; who married Alice Kemp, of Giffing, in Norfolk, and had issue by her Robert Ward, of Kirby, Esq; who married the daughter of —Coppledick, Esq; and had issue by her Robert Ward, of Kirby, Esq; who married the daughter of (c) Sir Giles Capel, , of London, Knt. ancestor to the earl of Essex, and had by her issue Henry Ward, of Postwick, Esq; who married the daughter of William Ugge, of Pockthorpe, Esq; and had issue by her several children; the eldest son was Edward Ward, of Bexley, Esq;." (see more in "The English Baronetage"). I see no mention of Geffrey in this source document- just Robert, as the son of Robert Ward, of Kirby, Esq; and daughter of —Coppledick, Esq.)

THE WARD FAMILY

THE following authorities are given for the Ward Chart, which goes back to Osbert de Varde, 1130: Burton's "Monasticon," pp. 139-166; Whittaker's "Leeds" ; Dugdale's "Monasticon," Vol. V, P 139 ; Tanner's "Notitia."

In 1130 there were three brothers de Varde: Simon, Godewin and Osbert of Givendale, Yorkshire. Osbert had two sons, Richard and William de Varde of Givendale Living, 1150. William de Varde had son, Simon de Varde, who married Maude _____. Simon de Varde founded Escholst Priory the end of the Twelfth Century; he had two sons, John de Varde of Scotton and William de Varde of Givendale. William de Varde had sons: William of Capes and Simon (made Sir Simon 1260, by Henry III). Sir Simon had son, Sir Simon, knight and baronet, "A great Baron against the Scots;" and Sir Simon the second had two sons, Sir John, 1350, and Simon, "the Simon de Varde who married Margaret, a daughter of the House of Mortimer, Lords of Attilbury, County Norfolk, and ancestors of the Lords of Norfolk." Simon and Margaret de Varde's son John married Elena de Boost or de Bois; their son, John, 2d, married Katherine Applegard. Robert de Varde, son of John and Katherine Applegard de Varde, married Alice Kemp, had a son, Robert, 2d, who married a Copperdick ; and their son, Robert, 3d, married a daughter of Sir Giles Capel of London, ancestor of the Earls of Essex, and had three sons, Henry Warde of Kirby—Bedon, Jeffrey of Broke, and Thomas Warde of Homersfield, who married _____Hare, daughter of John Hare, D.C.L., of Homersfield, Norfolk.

Research Notes

As his father was born in 1484, one can infer Geffery was born after Sep 1498 and given the mother's birth in 1504 one can infer it was after Sep 1516.
