Thomas Clarell born about 1375 England, married Elizabeth Scrope who was born about 1379 at Upsall, Yorkshire; she was the daughter of John and Elizabeth (Strathbogie) Scrope. It is believed she died March 8th, 1430

Their daughter and heir Elizabeth Clarell born about 1415 of Aldwark, Yorkshire, who died April 23, 1503 She married in about 1447 to Richard FitzWilliam of Aldwarke. Their son Sir Thomas FitzWilliam, of Aldwarke, married Lady Lucy Nevill, daughter and co-heiress, living 1530.

Richard Fitzwilliam, Knight of Wadworth, Yorkshire, and in right of his wife, of Aldwarke, Birkby and Haldenby, Yorkshire and hereditary patron of Austin Friars, Tickhill, Sherriff of Yorkshire. He married before 1448 to Elizabeth Clarell, daughter andf co-heiress of Thomas Clarell of Aldwark by Elizabeth Scrope. They had 7 sons and 5 daughters:

There may have been another daughter of Richard and Elizabeth Clarell. I
have an Elizabeth dau of Sir Richard FitzWilliam of Aldwark m [her distant
cousin] John son of William FitzWilliam (-1494) by Elizabeth dau of Sir John
Conyers. I think this is from the CP pages on FitzWilliam, but I have not checked it

There was.

According to an e-mail Douglas Richardson sent me privately, and the tudorplace website, Sir Richard FitzWilliam and Elizabeth Clarell had six (or seven) sons and five daughters:

• 1) Sir Thomas Fitzwilliam, the heir, born 13 Jan. 1448
• 2) Edmund Fitzwilliam, who married and had a daughter Elizabeth, who married Thomas Burgh, son of the 3rd Lord Burgh.
• 3) Richard Fitzwilliam, died 1521.
• 4) Edward Fitzwilliam
• 5) George Fitzwilliam
• 6) Humphrey Fitzwilliam
• 7) Humphrey Fitzwilliam, clerk (per Douglas - tudorplace website only lists one Humphrey)
• 1) Isabel Fitzwilliam, m. William Wentworth
• 2) Margaret Fitzwilliam, m. Ralph Reresby, who d. 25 July 1505
• 3) Catherine Fitzwilliam, m. 1st, Thomas Wakerley, m. 2nd, John Skipwith
• 4) Anne Fitzwilliam, m. William Mirfield
• 5) Elizabeth Fitzwilliam, m. 1st, Sir John Wortley, m. 2nd, John Fitzwilliam of Sprotborough

HOP's bio of William, Earl of Southampton, calls the Fitzwilliams "a relatively undistinguished Yorkshire family." I have a note among my papers on the Atholl descendants that Sir Richard Fitzwilliam was High Sheriff of Yorkshire in the 1460s, which probably aided him in securing such a distinguished Nevill bride, cousin to the Yorkist kings, for his son and heir Thomas.
