Family and Education
m. by Feb. 1418, Katherine (b. by 1406), da. and h. of Katherine née Brown (d. Aug. 1436), of Gamelsby, Cumb., Puttocks Hardwick, Hunts., Wrestlingworth and London, poss. by her last husband, John Asplion (d. by 1417), at least 2s.C139/82/51; CCR, 1454-61, pp. 78-79. The VCH is both wrong and inconsistent in its various accounts of the pedigree of Manningham’s wife, Katherine. According to VCH Hunts. (ii. 276), her mother was the daughter of Oliver Raghton of Wrestlingworth, while elsewhere in the volume (p. 334) and in VCH Beds. (ii. 257) she is described as Oliver’s sister. It is, however, clear from CFR, xiv. 209, that Katherine’s mother was the only surviving child of Eleanor Hereford and her second husband, John Brown, Oliver being the issue of Eleanor’s earlier marriage to John Raghton.
