Biography

Ormerod listed the following children of her first husband, which also correspond more or less with the 1580 visitation pedigree which the family made. However it is not clear if she was their mother.^[1]

• Sir John de Caryngton starts appearing in records about 1420, died before 1453. He m. isabel who was a daughter of Sir John de Beeston and a widow of Sir Robert de Aston. Their son and heir was Hamon Caryngton.
• Nicholas de Caryngton, who apparently died without children.
• Ralph de Caryngton, who apparently died without children. Apparently a priest.
• William de Carynton, who had descendants.
• Peter de Carynton, living in 1412. Apparently had no children.
• Edward de Carynton
• George de Carynton
• Margaret, wife of Robert Massey of Sale. The marriage required a papal dispensation.

Ormerod and Helsby also say that she survived George and remarried to Gilbert Bexwyk. This is based on her claim for dowery in 4 Henry VI which they quote:

Gilbert de Bexwyk; and Elizabeth uxor' ejus v. John de Caryngton son and heir of George de Caryngton, knt. Dower of the Manor of Caryngton, 18 mess., 400 acres of land, 30 of mead., 100 of pasture, 100 of wood, and 200 of turbary, in Caryngton, Hattresley, Mottrum, Woley, Stopport, Kynworthey, Partynton, and Assheton.

Elizabeth apparently died before her second husband who seems to have had a second wife, Margery Mascy of Tatton.^[2]

Research notes

Strangely, Copinger claimed that Margeret the DAUGHTER of Robert Massey of Sale was George's first wife and the mother of his children. The Ormerod pedigree in contrast says that the WIFE of Robert Massey was his daughter! He also claimed that Elizabeth the widow of George was a second wife aho had no heirs. Copinger is not a very reliable source. Did he simply misread Ormerod's pedigree?^[3] Copinger cites no records for the first wife.
