Biography
- Francis Yate, Esq. was born circa 1545 at of Lyford Grange, Berkshire, England to parents Thomas Yate and Frances White.[1]
- He married Jane Tichbourne, daughter of Nicholas Tichborne, Esq., Sheriff of Hampshire and Elizabeth Rythe, circa 1569 at Lyford, Berkshire, England; They had 1 son Thomas born around 1570[2]
- Francis Yate, Esq. died sometime in 1588 while imprisoned at the Tower of London; after a duration of eight years for recusancy°. His family remained in Lyford, Berkshire, England and he was buried at St. James the Great Churchyard in West Hanney, Berkshire, England.

° Recusancy comes from the Latin word recusare, meaning to refuse and during the 16th century it was used to refer to persons not conforming or staying their beliefs with the Catholic Church. It became a crime in the mid-1550's under rule of Queen Elizabeth I in England and the definition became: "was the state of those who remained loyal to the Catholic Church and refused to attend Church of England services after the English Reformation."[4]

"In 1540 Richard Fauconer died seised of Hurstbourne Fauconers, which passed to his son Richard, who died in 1551, (fn. 61) leaving three sisters, Elizabeth, Margaret and Alice, heirs of his property, (fn. 62) while his wife Frances held one-third during her lifetime. (fn. 63) Of these Elizabeth married Thomas Yate and left a son Francis, who in 1563 sold his third part of the manor to Richard Kingsmill, who had married Alice on the death of her first husband William Wroughton. (fn. 64) In 1574 Richard settled the property upon his second wife Elizabeth Stonehouse with remainder to Constance wife of Sir Thomas Lucy, his daughter by his first wife. He died seised of two-thirds of the manor, designated 'the manor,' in 1600. (fn. 65)"

East. 5 Eliz. m. 11; Berry, Hants Gen. 44. 65. Chan. Inq. p.m. (Ser. 2), eclxviii, 128. Sir Robert Oxenbridge, who died in 1638, was seised of one-third of the manor, leaving it to his kinsman Edward Oxenbridge. This third was probably the third which had passed to Margaret Kingsmill and her husband, William Sotwell (W. and L. Inq. p.m. bdle. 55, no. 122; Berry, Hants Gen. 239). This third evidently passed to the Wallop family and became merged in the manor of Hurstbourne Priors. Robert Oxenbridge, as elder brother and heir of the abovementioned Edward, who died in 1639, attempted to make good his claim to the third, but it does not appear that he was successful (Chan. Bills and Answers, Misc. [Ser. 1], pt. xiii, no. 105)."
The aforementioned Hurstbourne Priors parish history was cited by the following article which provides additional conclusive evidence that Thomas Yate (d. 1565) married: 1st, Elizabeth (d. before 1562/63), daughter and co-heiress of Richard Fauconer of the manor of Hurstbourne Falconers, Hurstbourne Priors, Hampshire (d. 1540); and 2nd, Ann/Agnes (LNAB Unknown), who died in 1580. It establishes that Elizabeth Fauconer was the mother of Francis Yate. It also establishes that Francis Yate (d. 1588) married first, Frances White, who died in 1569, and secondly Jane Tichbourne, who survived him and was at Lyford Grange when Edmund Campion was arrested in 1581: http://berkshirehistory.com/articles/campion_lyford.html

In doing so, several errors showed at the bottom of the page; one being that a link didn't work, I tried it more than once and it doesn't...however, I copied and pasted the entire thing to place here in case someone else wants to check it or look for the replacement data: Our Yates History

I think that someone at England Project or Magna Carta would know better than me.
