Beconshaw of Ellingham, Hants



Will's and Leo's recent posts caused me to turn to this family, the
paternal line of Alice Lisle (d 1685).

The Hampshire RO's site states:

"The Victoria County History for Hampshire records that a Robert White
held Rockford Moyles manor in Ellingham parish, and several
generations later another Robert White was holding it in 1557. He was
succeeded by William White, on whose death in 1594 it passed to his
daughter Alice, wife of William Beconshaw. Ellingham manor was also
held by William Beconshaw in the 1630s, and on his death it passed to
his son Sir White Beconshaw, whose co-heiresses were his daughters
Elizabeth and Alice (Lisle)." It adds that Sir White lived at Moyles
Court and died in 1638.

The Gentleman's Magazine, 1828, p 18 adds some further particulars.

So we have:

1. William Beconshaw, married Alice White (d 1622), daughter and sole
heir of William White of Ellingham (died 1594); issue:

2. Sir White Beconshaw, died 1638; married Edith; issue:

3a. Elizabeth Beconshaw
3b. Alice Beconshaw (c1614-1685), married John Lisle (d 1664)

Do these Beconshaws connect with the Henry Beconshaw who married Joan
Farrington?
