Biography

Lawrence or Laurence Warren, Esquire, was the eldest son of Sir John Warren, of Poynton and Stockport in Cheshire, and his first wife, Eleanor Gerard.^[1] His birth date is unknown and there is some conflicting information about when it might have taken place.

In the but he was still under 18 years of age, on July 1494 when his marriage settlement was signed, as it contains a clause that if Laurence died before consummation, then another son was to marry her^[2] which would place his birth in about 1476 or probably later.

First marriage and children

His first wife was Margaret, daughter of Sir Piers (or Perkin) Legh, of Lyme in Cheshire^[2] They had 14 children (order as given in Watson):

1. Cecily Warren, married ... Coleshull;
2. Mabil, married Roger Beke, sergeant at arms;
3. Sir Edward Warren, succeeded his father;
