Their son John Whitgift was Archbishop of Canterbury.

WHITGIFT, JOHN (1530?–1604), archbishop of Canterbury, was eldest son of Henry Whitgift, a well-to-do merchant of Great Grimsby, Lincolnshire, and Anne [Dynewell] his wife. According to Francis Thynne he was born at Great Grimsby in 1533, but he himself declared that in 1590 he reached the age of sixty. In childhood he attracted the favour of his uncle, Robert Whitgift, abbot of the Augustinian monastery at Wellow. The abbot was a liberal-minded ecclesiastic, and no blind opponent of the Reformation. Noticing his nephew's literary promise, he undertook the direction of his education. By his advice the boy was sent to St. Anthony's school in London, which had already numbered many distinguished men among its scholars. He lodged in St. Paul's Churchyard with his aunt, the wife of Michael Shaller, one of the cathedral vergers. She was a bigoted Romanist. Whitgift was out of sympathy with her views, and she finally drove him from the house. In due time he proceeded to Queens' College, Cambridge, but soon migrated to Pembroke Hall, where he matriculated as a pensioner in May 1550. At Pembroke Hall his predilection for the reformed religion was rapidly confirmed. Nicholas Ridley [q. v.] was the master, and his first tutor was the convinced protestant John Bradford (1510?–1555) [q. v.], who afterwards suffered martyrdom. He was appointed a bible-clerk, and graduated B.A. in 1553–4 and M.A. in 1557. Meanwhile his attainments were rewarded by his election on 31 May 1555 to a fellowship at Peterhouse. Andrew Perne [q. v.], the master, showed much liking for him, and although Perne's own religious views were pliant, he respected Whitgift's adherence to the principles of the Reformation. During the visitation of the university by Cardinal Pole's delegates in 1557, Perne screened him from persecution. Throughout Mary's reign Whitgift pursued his studies while engaged in college tuition.

Research Notes

Cooke-7654 23:32, 12 August 2022 (UTC) It is no longer conclusive that Anne is the daughter of William and Katherine (Fulnetby) Dynewell. Kirk & Hollick found only one possiblity and from that declared that couple were probably her parents. However, in a series of posts on soc.genealogy.medieval, Nathan Murphy presents another possiblity: she may have been the daughter of a James Dynewell, and his second wife, an unknown Fulnetby. [3] I suggest removing Anne's parents until further research can give us a difinitive answer. For a more expansive explanation, please see Cookie Crumbs Ancestry.

Cooke-7654 23:45, 12 August 2022 (UTC) Also, the line as presented here is also mentioned in Richardson's Royal Ancestry, though he puts "?" by the names of Katherine Fulnetby and William Dynewell and that it is just a "possible line of descent" down to Thomas Bradbury.[4]

5 Nov 2018: There are two Wiki profiles for Anne with two different birth dates and two different fathers. Looking at present Bio it makes mention of a 1530 marriage date / that said the 1515 birth date would make her 14-15 yrs old (reasonable): with the 1508 birth date she would have been 23 yrs old (also reasonable ). https://en.wikisource.org/wiki/Whitgift,_John_(DNB00)

Dynewell-1 and Dynewell-3 appear to represent the same person because: ready to be merged; incorrect parents detached
posted by Mark Burch
Apparently her name was Dynewell, so maybe the Daniels parents are incorrect and can be detached?

The Daniels parents have been detached.
Dynewell-3 and Dynewell-1 appear to represent the same person because: Looks like these are one in the same. For some reason D-3 has parents of a different surname?
