Contents

Early Years

Edward (second of the name), son of Edward Stradling and his wife, Ellena/Elleanor Strongbow, [1] was born about 1318, given his mention as Bristol merchant in 1339, most likely in St. Donat's, Glamorgan, Wales, but possibly in one of the Somerset estates.


Marriage and Family

Sir Edward Stradling and Gwenllian Berkerolles, daughter of Sir Roger Berkerolles and heiress to her brother, Sir Lawrence Berkerolles, were married about 1360 [1] [2] in St. Athan, Glamorgan. [3]

This marriage had the following children.

Upon his father's death, Edward gained hereditary titles, along with the knight's fee of St. Donat's and other Stradling family estates. His marriage into the Berkerolles line set the stage for his grandson to eventually inherit most of their estates, as well.

Armorial Achievement

He was heir and armiger of the Stradling of St. Donat's lineage and by his mother, co-heir to Strongbow and Garnon. Given his grandson, Edward Stradling KHS, quartered St. Barbe, Justyn, Turberville and Berkerolles with subsequent descendants showing Stradling, Hawey, Strongbow and Garnon ahead of those in their quartering, Sir Edward must have added to his father's heraldic arms by quartering (1) Stradling, (2) de Hawey, (3) Strongbow, (4) Garnon. [4]

Death

Sir Edward died about 1394 leaving his estates to his son and heir, William Stradling. [5]

Bettye Carroll and I have been collaborating on John Stradling parentage, as the source material we have reviewed points to his profile being misconnected as son to his grandfather, Edward Stradling, instead of son to his father, William Stradling. After preliminary discussion with the Medieval Project, we are now requesting the PMs for John Stradling, Edward Stradling, and William Stradling review the references below with the goal of having...

1. John Stradling profile moved from Edward Stradling to position as 2nd son of William Stradling 2. John Stradling estimated birthdate adjusted to the early generation of John's wife, Joan (Dauntsey) Dewall

References for these changes are cited below: 1. Royal Ancestry Vol. II, Douglas Richardson; page 398 "...Joan (or Jane) Dauntsey, born about 1396. She married (2nd) before 8 July 1418 John Stradling, 2nd son of William Stradling, Knt., by Isabel, daughter and heiress of John Saint Barbe. They had two sons, Richard and Edmund. Sir John Stradling died in 1435. His widow, Joan, died in 1457." Richardson assigned John Stradling as 2nd son of William Stradling.

2. The History of Wales, Caradoc of Llancarvan, translated by Dr. Powell, augmented by W. Wynne, (London: T. Evans, 1832); page 108 https://books.google.ca/books?id=hblVAAAAcAAJ&printsec=frontcover#v=onepage&q&f=false "The Sir Edward married with Jane, daughter to Henry Beuford, afterwards Cardinal... This Sir Edward had to his brother Sir John Stradling, Knight, who married with the heir of Dauncy in Wiltshire, and had issue Sir Edmond, who had issue John and Edmond. John had issue Anne, Lady Davers, of whom the Davers, Hugerfordes, Fynes, and Leuet, and a great progeny of them are descended; and of the said Edmond cometh Carnysoyes, of Cornewal." Llancarvan assigned John Stradling as son of William Stradling and brother of Edward Stradling.

3. Memorials of the Danvers family (of Dauntsey and Culworth), Francis Nottidge Macnamara (London, Hardy & Page, 1895); page 234 https://archive.org/details/memorialsofdanve00macn/page/234/mode/2up?q=stradling "Sir John, Joan's second husband was second son of Sir William Stradling, of St. Donat's, by Isabel, daughter and heir of Sir John St. Barbe, of Somersetshire. He died about the year 1434, leaving a son, Edmund Stradling, aged 28 and more at the time of his mother's death." This assigns John Stradling as 2nd son of William Stradling.

Looking forward to your review and response.
