Biography
The sixth William Gascoigne in the pedigree by Thoresby married Matilda da & heiress of John de Gawkesthorp (ake Gawesthorpe), and granddaughter of Henry de Gauketorp, by ……his wife, daughter and heiress of …….Hillum.
The old seat of the Gawkthorpes, of Gawthorpe, was a residence when Herewode (Harewood) was what its name indicates. Its name is associated with all the interest, glamour, and romance that should pertain to this one time feudal hall. [1]

Note also that the "Gascoyne Family Tree website" shown in the footnotes states that William Gascoigne who married Matilda (Jane) Gawkethorpe was the father of the William Gascoigne who married Elizabeth De Bolton. In The Visitation of Yorkshire in 1584/5 (linked above), pretty much the same thing is shown, whereas William Gascoigne, of Harewood, co., York, married Maude, dau. and heir of John Gawthorpe, of Gawthorpe, and were the parents of the William who married Elizabeth Bolton.
