Biography

Predeceased his father William. Known from his father's inquisition post mortem 1372, and also mentioned in at least one document concerning his son William.

Ragg:

"William Dautry coming in the full court of Penreth held on Thursday the vigil of the Conversion of St. Paul, 10 Rich. II (24 Jany., 1387) and recognising the said placea to be the right of William de Threlkeld, as that which William de Threlkeld, kt., grandfather to the aforesaid William Threlkeld, granted with other messuages and lands in Penreth to John de Threlkeld his son and Alice his wife and the heirs of their two bodies; these tenements after the deaths of John and Alice should descend to the aforesaid William, son and heir of the aforesaid John and Alice, according to the formedon (tenor of the grant), and William Dautry gave them back to them. For which surrender and agreement William de Threlkeld son and heir of John and Alice granted and demised to William Dautry and Agnes his wife the whole placea with the houses and close and all belongings, to be had and held by William Dautry and Agnes for the life of the longer liver of them, they rendering to William de Threlkeld his heirs and assigns 12 pence paid in equal portions at Pentecost and St. Martin in Winter and doing the forinsec service for William. The seal is not armorial. It has " W " on it, and two simple devices. Probably it was William Dautry's and Agnes was probably also a sister or aunt of William de Threlkeld. "

Ragg:

"A marriage agreement is the next document to turn to (Appendix vi). Its delightful Norman French gives particulars not found else where. William de Threlkeld's eldest son was to marry Alice daughter of John de Hodeleston, and William would provide a marriage portion of 20 marks' worth of land for them and their heirs, and in addition to this would grant the reversion of 10 marks' worth which would fall in to him after the death of Marion* wife of Thomas de Hothwath held by her as dower by grant of Henry de Threlkeld, formerly her husband and father of William and 17o marks' worth besides. Were there no heirs, it was as usual settled that this was all to revert to William and his heirs. And John de Hodleston on the day of the marriage would grant 48 marks, 4 shillings and 5 pence and the following Pentecost 48 marks, 4 shillings and 5 pence—in all £190 5s 8d. Coverharn, where this deed was signed, appears to be in Yorkshire, North Riding. It is dated Monday the vigil of St. Catherine, 17 Edward III (24 Nov. 1343)."

So William's mother was Marion, and his son John married Alice de Hodelston.
