Biography

Mary was a daughter of Robert Troutbeck Esq. of Bridge Trafford, Cheshire.^[1][2][3]

NB Brownbill in his paper on the Troutbeck family^[4] did not record that Robert Troutbeck had a daughter named Mary.

The name of her mother is unknown.

Her year of birth is unknown and is estimated as c 1470.

She married, as his second wife, Edmund Denny.^[1][2][3] His first wife Margaret Leigh had died 10 Sep 1487.^[1][2]

According to the pedigree in the Visitation of Norfolk^[1] there were 15 children:

• [Sir] Thomas Denny
• Michael and Gabriel Denny (twins)
• Martha Denny (married Sir Wymond Carew)^[2]
• Edmund Denny (born 1501)
• Anne Denny
• Margaret [Mary] Denny (married Sir John Gates)^[2][5]
• [Sir] Anthony Denny^[6]
• Susan Denny
• Ursula Denny
• [Sir] Robert Denny
• Catherine Denny
• Elizabeth Denny (married John Daniel Esq.)^[2]
• Joyce Denny (married William Walsingham then Sir John Carey)^[2][7]
• Joan Denny

The article in 'The Topgrapher and Genealogist'^[2] mentioned the following children of Edmund Denny and Mary Troutbeck: Sir Thomas, Sir Anthony, Elizabeth, Mary, Martha, and Joyce.

She died 29 Jun 1507 and was buried in St Benet's Paul's Wharf, City of London.^[2] [The visitation pedigree^[1] stated she died 29 Jun 1506, 22 Henry VIII. This appears to include two errors: it should be 22 Henry VII and not Henry VIII, and 29 Jun, 22 Henry VII, was 1507.]
