Hounding the BASKERVILLEs

Humphrey Baskerville was an Alderman of the City of London from
1558-1564 (Beaven, v.1, 337), one of the Merchant Adventurers named in
Queen Mary's Charter of Incorporation of 1555 (CPR 1554-5, 55-9), and
Master of the Mercers' Company in 1560 (Beaven, v.2, 36).
I am trying to place Humphrey Baskerville, (? - 1564) in the Eardisley
Castle Baskerville family.
Humphrey married Jane, daughter of Humphrey Packington, and left six
daughters as his co-heirs:
Elizabeth Chr 16 May 1544
Angelica Chr 21 Sep 1549
Sarah Chr 5 Mar 1552
Anne Chr 28 Feb 1559
Mary Chr 2 Jul 1555
Martha Chr Nov 1561
(extracted IGI records, mainly christened at Saint Michael Bassishaw,
London).
Sarah married Thomas Owen of Condover, Judge of the Common Pleas
(?-1598) (DNB, Owen, Thomas p. 455)
Anne married Thomas Edwardes, Sheriff of Great Shrewsbury (1555-1634)
(Harl.Soc.Vis.Shropshire, Edwards p.173, as signed by their son Thomas).
The other daughters also married but I have no additional sources for them.
The Visitation of Shropshire 1623, in the Owen pedigree, says alderman
Humphrey was the son of Sir James Baskerville and Elizabeth Breynton.
However, other sources, notably Burkes, say Sir James and Elizabeth had
a son named Humphrey but he married Eleanor Gwillim and left issue. The
numerous online pedigrees all follow Burkes.
The main Eardisley Castle Baskerville seems to be;
1. Sir John = Elizabeth Tuchet
2. Sir James = Sybil Devereux
3. Sir Walter = Anna verch Morgan
4. Sir James = Elizabeth Breynton
5. Humphrey = Eleanor Gwillim
But Humphrey the alderman may have descended from one of the earlier
generations as it was not that uncommon for a younger son to be sent to
become a merchant.
Does anyone have any ideas about this?
