Jane Lacon was born circa 1505. She was a daughter of Sir Thomas Lacon (Lacon-8) of Willey, Shropshire, who died 1536. [2]
Jane Lacon had been the wife of George Bromley (d. 1545) prior to marrying William Egerton. [2]
She married second William Egerton, son of Randall Egerton and Isobel Hill, circa 1536. [1]
The parish register of Betley records the burial of William Egerton, esquire, on 22 November 1571, and Jane Egerton, widow, on 22 October 1578. These burial records are presumably those of the parents of the testator’s wife, Isabel Egerton. See Adams, Percy W.L., ed., Betley Parish Register, pp. 22, 26. The testator married Isabel Egerton, the daughter of William Egerton of Betley by Jane Lacon (born c.1505), the daughter of Sir Thomas Lacon (d.1536) of Willey. [1]
She was buried at Betley, Staffordshire on 22 Oct 1578. The register noted her as Jane Egerton, vidua. [1][3]
Children of George Bromley
She has a son George Bromley, MP, b. 1525/26, the 1st son of her first husband, George Bromley (Bromely-4) of Hodnet. [1]
By her first husband, George Bromley, Jane Lacon was the mother of Sir George Bromley MP (c.1526-1589), Chief Justice of Cheshire, and also mother of Queen Elizabeth’s Lord Chancellor, Sir Thomas Bromley, MP (c.1530-1587). See the Bromley pedigree image posted which is page 78 from The Visitation oF Shropshire. See also the History of Parliament entry for George Bromley (c.1526-1589). [1]
See also the entry for Lord Chancellor Bromley: Bromley, Sir Thomas (c.1530–1587) in History of Parliament. Lord Chancellor Thomas Bromley was a younger son of George Bromley (Bromely-4) of Hodnet, Shropshire, and his wife, Jane (b. c.1505), daughter of Sir Thomas Lacon of Willey, Shropshire. Sir Thomas Bromley's (c.1530–1587) was a family of barristers. His father was a bencher of the Inner Temple, as were his uncle Sir Thomas Bromley (d. 1555), chief justice of the king's bench, and his brother George, chief justice of Chester, whose son Edward Bromley, MP became a baron of the exchequer in the time of King James I.

Children of William Egerton
The parish register of Betley records the burial of William Egerton, esquire, on 22 November 1571, and Jane Egerton, widow, on 22 October 1578. These burial records are presumably those of the parents of the testator’s wife, Isabel Egerton. See Adams, Percy W.L., ed., Betley Parish Register, pp. 22, 26. The testator married Isabel Egerton, the daughter of William Egerton of Betley by Jane Lacon (born c.1505), the daughter of Sir Thomas Lacon (d.1536) of Willey. [1]
The testator’s wife, Isabel Egerton, was thus a half sister of Lord Chancellor Bromley, and was also a second cousin (of the half blood) of Margaret Bromley, daughter of Sir Thomas Bromley (d.1555). Margaret Bromley married Sir Richard Newport (d.1570). [1]
