iv. Anne Stucley, born ? in Affeton, England.

Anne married William Denys, s/o 77968. John Dennys & 77969. Eleanor Gifford.

·         Since Thomasine, wife of son Nicholas, did not die until 1477, Anne could not be the daughter of Ann Pomery and still fit the timelines of her descendents. The church of St. Andrew, built in the 13th century, has only one “ancient” stained glass widow, dedicated to the marriage of Nicholas Stewkley and Thomasin, d/o John Cockworthy. There is no indication of a 2nd wife. Anne is more likely d/o Hugh & Katherine. Either way, the ancestry through Hugh and Katherine is the same.
