Anne Bulmer was born at Wilton in Cleveland, Yorkshire, England, about 1552, daughter of Sir Ralph and Anne (Tempest) Bulmer.[1][2] She married, first, about 1572, Anthony Welbury of Castle Eden (died 5 November 1596), son of Simon and — (Morland) Welbury. She married, second, in 1598,[3] Sir Gerard Lowther of Lowtherstown (dsp 14/6 October 1624, judge).[4][5][6]
According to Welbury of Castle Eden pedigree, Anne Bulmer, "reputed dau. & co-heir of Sir Ralph Bulmer of Wilton in Cleveland, co. Ebor. knt. whom he never acknowledged."[7] Sir Ralph Bulmer refused to acknowledge Anne as his daughter; according to Welbury and Bulmer pedigrees;[8] so MAY not be the daughter of Sir Ralph, but we may never know.
On 30 September 1573, Anthony Welbery and Anne his wife granted to Walter Cawood of 5 parts of the property in Thornholme, Yorkshire.[9]
On 1 October 1573, a sale by Anthony Welbery and Anne his wife to Walter Cawood of the property in Thornholme, Yorkshire, was recorded.[10]
One curious document casting doubt regarding Anne's paternal heritage is from about 1582-1583 [25 Elizabeth I], that held recorded depositions regarding conveyances of lands in Castle Eden, Sherraton, Hutton Henry (Hewton), Durham, by Simon Welberye to Anthony, his son, in consideration of his marriage with Anne Sands.[11][12] She is called Sands here, suggesting her paternal biological family was actually the Sandys (Sandes, Sands) family.
