Biography

Birth and Parents

Jane, or Joan, was the daughter of Sir William Stanley, K.G. It is not certain which of her father's wives was her mother.[1][2] She was born say 1472.[2] Her place of birth is unknown.

Marriage and Children

In 1487 Jane married John Warburton, Knt., of Arley and Warburton, Cheshire, son and heir of Peter Warburton, Esq, and Ellen Savage.[2] They had at least six children:

John Warburton died shortly before 19 October 1523.[2] After his death Jane was deprived of her dower rights when John Warburton's mistress Sibyl Starky withheld land deeds.[2][4]

Death

Jane's death date is uncertain, but was clearly after 1523. She is likely to have died in Cheshire, where her husband had lands.

Research Notes

Children

Ormerod's History of Cheshire says there were two other children - an unnamed son and an unnamed daughter.[3]

WikiTree has previously shown three other people as children of Jane Stanley and John Warburton: Elizabeth, Agnes Ann and William. All three profiles are effectively unsourced. No good source has so far been found for the relationships, and they have been detached. Cayley-55 10:22, 15 July 2020 (UTC)

Magna Carta Project

This profile was reviewed for the Magna Carta project by Michael Cayley on 12 July 2020.
Jane (Stanley) Warburton does not appear in a Magna Carta trail in Douglas Richardson's 2011 Magna Carta Ancestry but Richardson has established subsequently that she is descended from Thomas Stanley and hence from Magna Carta Surety Baron Saher de Quincy, and is on a trail to Gateway Ancestor Margaret Domville. See Richardson's post in this thread in soc.genealogy.medieval. She will also be descended from other Surety Barons. This trail was developed in June/July 2020 by Michael Cayley and badged 16 Jul 2020 by Thiessen-117. Details of this trail are in the Magna Carta Trails section of Margaret Domville's profile.
See Base Camp for more information about identified Magna Carta trails and their status. See the project's glossary for project-specific terms, such as a "badged trail".

Why is her mother UNKNOWN?

Richardson in his pedigree (Douglas Richardson. 2013 post in soc.genealogy.medieval in thread Hatton of Maryland) says she was the daughter of William by an unknown mother; but in the preceding section on her father quotes a source (Smith, Hist. of Cheshire 2 (1778): 816-817) that says:

("This Sir William Stanley, of Holt, was lord chamberlain to Henry VII. and brother to Thomas Stanley, the first earl of Derby of that family; which Sir William was beheaded 1495, as supposed to incline to the part of Perkin Warbeck; and his lands and goods were all confiscated to the king. He had in ready money and plate, in his castle of Holt, forty thousand marks, besides jewels, household stuff, and stock of cattle on his grounds. He had in lands 3000l. a year of an old rent, as my lord Bacon saith in his history of Henry VII. He aspired to petition the king for the earldom of Chester, which ended both in a denial and distaste. He had by Joyce his wife, daughter of Edward lord Powis, and widow of John Tiptoft, William Stanley before-mentioned; and Jane, married to Sir John Warburton, of Arley in Cheshire, one of the knights of the body to Henry VII."

This seems to say that Joyce Powis was the mother of Jane. Agree???

We know the names of two wives for her father. One was Joan Beaumont, widow of Sir John Lovell: a Patent Rolls entry of 12 November 1465 tells us that they were to marry shortly after that date: Calendar of the Patent Rolls, A.D. 1461-1467, p. 474, Internet Archive. Cokayne says, citing an IPM that is not in a volume viewable online, that she died on 5 August 1466. That gives (just) time enough for them to have had a child.

William's second wife was Elizabeth Hopton, widow of John Tiptoft. Tiptoft was beheaded on 18 October 1470. William and Elizabeth married before 7 December 1471 when the Patent Rolls record them being given the wardship of Edward Tiptoft, her son by John Tiptoft: the record names Elizabeth as his wife and as late wife of John [Tiptoft], Earl of Worcester: Calendar of the Patent Rolls, A.D. 1467-1477, p. 297, Internet Archive.

It is conceivable that William had another, unknown, wife between the two known ones.

We do not know Jane/Joan's birth date, or which of William Stanley's wives was her mother.

As always with old sources, one should be wary of trusting what is said in the 1778 history of Cheshire.

A little more delving suggests how the error in the 1778 History of Cheshire may have arisen. Joyce, daughter of Edward Lord Powis, was mother of Elizabeth Hopton's first husband John Tiptoft (beheaded 1470). Joyce's husband - father of John d. 1470 - was another John Tiptoft. The two Johns, father and son, were presumably confused. Joyce died on 9 September 1445 - there is an Inquisition Post Mortem for her on the Mapping the Medieval Countryside website, here.

I have now finished the main work I intend on Jane's profile. If anyone spots any typos etc, please either correct them or message me - thanks!

I have transferred some information relating to her parents to their profiles, which I plan to edit in due course. Before I do that, I intend to do a little work on Jane's husband and children.

Because of the history of attaching children for whom there is no good evidence, and because of inaccuracies in unsourced trees on the web, I have added Project Protection.

Jane is on a prospective new Magna Carta Project trail from Gateway Ancestor Margaret Domville to Surety Baron Saher de Quincy. In accordance with Magna Carta Project and WikiTree policies, I have adopted the profile on behalf of the Magna Carta Project and added the Project as one of the profile managers. I have added a Magna Carta Project section to the profile.
