Relationships

Father: Thomas Swancote.

Mother: Joan.

Thomas Swancote names his daughter Agnes Dudley and his wife Joan in his will.

Spouse: Thomas Dudley.

This relationship is given by Glazebrook (pp. 59-62), citing Beltz, who was working from the Dudley family papers, where apparently an Agnes is attested as the wife of Thomas Dudley in 29 Henry VIII (1537-8); and also citing the 1557 will of Thomas Swancote of Eccleshall, Staffordshire, which mentions his daughter Agnes Dudley and her husband Thomas Dudley. I have been unable to track down the will.
