LAWLEY, Robert (c.1550-1622), of Much Wenlock, Salop.

All that is known of Lawley’s career is that, when his brother Thomas wrote to Sir Thomas Bromley asking for the reversion of an office for Robert and himself, Robert carried the letter to the lord chancellor and explained ‘the particularities’ of their suit. He died 1622 and was buried at Wenlock 20 Jan. The register notes that he had ‘but one hand’.Vis. Salop (Harl. Soc. xxviii), 132, 248; (xxix), 313; Wenlock par. reg.; Trans. Salop Arch. Soc.
