Various visitation pedigrees, at least partly based on the earliest of 1552, make a muddle of some of the early generations of the Fenwick pedigree.[1][2][3] Ralph's wife, Margery Mitford, does have some unknown descent from the Corbet family, but it is unrecorded.[4] See also the research note on his mother's profile.
Harvey's visitation of 1552 appears to be the earliest of the nine. In it, he shows Ralph married Margery, daughter and sole heir to Sir Walter Corbet of Stanton, knight. Ralph's mother (and his father's wife) is shown as the daughter of Wydryngton of Wydrynton.[1]
Flower's visititation of 1563 follows Harvey.[2] There is a note to see the "Visit, Ebor., 1584, p. 69," but this refers to the Gargrave pedigree applicable to the wife ofWilliam Fenwick Esq. (1581-1647).
Foster presents seven pedigrees, noting on the first "The discrepancies between the various Fenwick Pedigrees are irreconcileable."[5]
- "Fenwick, of Northumberland," from a "Key Pedigree from MS. in Queens College, Oxford," shows Ralph as the son of Agnes, daughter of …Harbottle.[5]
- "Fenwick, of Butterlawe" does not cover Ralph.[6]
- "Fenwick, of East Haddon and of Brinckburne," from 1666, does not cover Ralph.[7]
- "Fenwicke, of Langshawes" shows Ralph married to Mary, daughter and "sole heire of …Mitford, of Stanton, esqr."[8]
- "Fenwick, of Stanton," (from Flower's Visitation of Yorkshire, 1563-4, p. 121) shows Ralph married to Margery, daug. and sole heir to Water [sic] Corbet, of Stanton, Knight. Ralph's mother (and his father's wife) is shown as the daughter of one Wedryngton of Wedryngton.[9]
- "Fenwick, of Stanton," shows Ralph married to Mary, daughter and sole heir to …Mitford, of Stanton.[10]
- "Fenwick, of Wallington," from 1666, shows Ralph married to an unnamed daughter and sole heir to Mitford, of Stanton. His mother is unnamed.[11]
