Research Notes
EDMOND IVORI (William, Robert, Robert, Robert), born probably about
1592, died between 18 Oct. 1630 and 7 June 1631. He succeeded
his father as lord of the manor of Westbury, and had lands in Lyg-
grave and Sonden, co. Bedford, and in Lylley, Kimpton, and Offley,
co. Herts. In 1624 he brought suit in Chancery in regard to the
jurisdiction of his manor of Westbury. He married ELIZABETE
WOODLEY, daughter of John, who survived him and was living in
1650. Shortly after her husband's death she sued his stepmother
Susan (Waller) (Ivory) Spicer, alias Helder, wife of William
Spicer, alias Helder, and also her husband's half-brothers and half-
sister, Luke Ivory, Joseph Ivory, and Susan Ivory, for the return
of papers which she claimed that her husband gave them to keep
for him. She and her son John were also involved in several suits
concerning land on which money was raised to secure the release o
John from Hitchin prison, whither he had been taken for debt.
His cousin John Ivory of Millbrook, co. Bedford, paid his debts
to the amount ef €1000, and for recompense took a lease for one
hundred and fifty years of the manor of Westbury. This he trans-
ferred to various persons, who were sued by John Ivory and his
mother Elizabeth for the recovery of the same.
