Research Notes

Daniel Foxcroft had two children from his first wife Grace Gawkroger (Platts) and then another six children from his second wife, Grace Lister. Daniel's second wife may be Grace Lister as shown in the Thoresby pedigree.^[2] She married firstly Anthony Foxcroft on 28 October 1577.^[3] Anthony died in 1589 and was buried at Halifax on 24 July 1589.^[4] Less than 3 months later, 15 October 1589, there is a marriage for Daniel Foxcroft and Grace Foxcroft, probably Anthony's widow.^[5] After this, there is a marriage record for Grace Gawkroger and Samuell Smith on 4 Jan 1591, indicating that she probably re-married. She is said to have lived until 1595 but there is no burial source shown for that at the moment. There is a burial recorded for Grace Richard Gawkroger de Sourby on 26 Aug 1592 in Halifax

Both Dugdale and Thoresby show all children except Samuel as belonging to the second wife. Samuel was born in 1583 and there is also a daughter Judith 1685 not shown in the pedigrees who must be of the first wife. Children born after the 1589 marriage are Grace 1592, Anthony 1594, Sara 1597, James 1601,^[6] and Daniel unknown date. All have baptisms at Halifax except Daniel. The first two children after the 1589 marriage have the names of the deceased first spouses.
