Ada de Huntingdon - Curators :Ada was also married to Ralph Brereton please add

To help keep record of what is found this is information from the link given my Pamela on the Ada of Huntingdon, Heiress of Yardley

There are old tombs of the Brereton family in the churchyard. The one with a canopy shows the effigy of a knight with his lady. It is rare to see a monument of such age outside and these are badly weathered. Raymond Richards notes that it is the tomb of Sir Ralph Brereton but the brochure in the church mentions that is could be the tomb of a Brereton or a Ventables. My photograph below, taken with flash and enhanced digitally allows one to pick out most of the following incripiton, but the beginning of the last work was provided from Ormerod's History of Cheshire, Volume 3 page 33. Note that the letter N is written back-to-front throughout. It translates as "Here lie Radulphus Brereton, knight, and lady Ada his wife one of the daughters of David Earl of Huntingdon. Ormerod gives a family tree of the Breretons of Brereton in which he states "Sir Ralph de Brereton, knight, said in some pedigrees to marry Ada, daughter of David Earl of Huntingdon, relict of Henry Hastings, and living in 1275".

I have also posted this information on Ada's 'About' section.

And this link would supply more information to Pamela's Ada of Huntingdon, Heiress of Yardley

https://histfam.familysearch.org//getperson.php?personID=I93191&amp...
Which lists both husbands, Henry de Hastings, Lord Hastings and Sir Ralph de Brereton, Knight, also some of the children

Sir Ralph de Brereton

This should be "To help keep record of what is found this is information from the link given by Pamela on the .... "

And the actual discussions do not present themselves from the link I provided they just take you to Ada's profile overview.

The first is the discussion about the tomb is titled "Ada de Huntingdon - Curators :Ada was also married to Ralph Brereton please add"

and the second about familysearch.org is titled "Ada de Huntingdon - Ada's children"

Carole I'm confused by this note on the profile of

Sir Ralph de Brereton

"Sir Ralph Brereton was born at of Brereton, Cheshire, England. He died after 1275; He did not marry Ada of Huntingdon, wife of Sir Henry de Hastings.2"

* 2.[S16] Douglas Richardson, Magna Carta Ancestry, 2nd Edition, Vol. III, p. 321-323.

And his wife is showing in Geni as Ada de Hastings

But https://histfam.familysearch.org//getperson.php?personID=I93400&amp...

Has

1) Ada de Huntington and
2) (Research):MARRIAGE: Investigate> Lloyd's 'History of the Princes, the Lords Marcher and the Ancient Nobility of Powys Fadog' volume 3 page 92 states he married secondly, Margred ferch Sir Rhydderch "Groes", Knight.

OK do we have date discrepancies ?

Here's what Jim Weber currently has for Ada de Huntington. 3rd daughter of David, 9th Earl of Huntington

http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=jwebe...

Death: BEF SEP 1242 in Yardley Hastings, Hardingstone, Northamptonshire, England

Ada, sister and coheir of John the Scot, 10th Earl of Huntingdon, 3rd daughter of David of Scotland, 9th Earl of Huntingdon. [Complete Peerage VI:345]

Did Ada de Hastings marry her step father?

Yuck.

Erica Howton

Sir Ralph de Brereton was born c1224

one wife Ada de Hastings was born c1227

they have a child Sibil de Brereton born c 1236

Mix up possible??

Ada of Huntingdon, Heiress of Yardley was born c 1199

One husband Sir Henry de Hastings, of Ashill was born c 1193

Second husband Sir Ralph de Brereton was born c 1224

Second husband was 31 years her senior?? possible

If you read the About of Sir Ralph de Brereton

It states "Sir Ralph Brereton was born at of Brereton, Cheshire, England. He died after 1275; He did not marry Ada of Huntingdon, wife of Sir Henry de Hastings.2"

This why I maintain who ever edits the 'About' of a a profile there names shows on it, just like Revisions..

If the information or translation from the tomb has not been fabricated then it would seem that there was a Ada dau. of David Earl of Huntingdon who married a Radulphus Brereton, knight

http://www.thornber.net/cheshire/htmlfiles/astbury.html

Just posting on to one discussion what was basicly in the two discussions to try to make it easier to understand.

I will look for some of the other references listed from the FamilySearch link, and post them in this discussion. Then if wanted they could be moved over to the pertaining profiles.

I dislike going off on a tangent but can anyone see a connection here http://www.geni.com/family-tree/index/6000000008630915526#600000000...

Do you think Ada (the Elder) of Huntington
was married toMalise de Strathearn, of Muthil

Maybe we could ask Private User why she added Ada (the Elder) of Huntington without an identifiable mother.

All right - I'm going to start with the children.

My thoughts so far are that Ada the heiress only had issue by her 1st husband Hastings & is not the mother of the Brereton boys.

Therefore Sir Ralph had an unnamed 1st wife & a possible 3rd wife named Margery.

He did not marry his step daughter, that is a mismerge.

So we need to understand who the husband of Margery Hastings was.

I did notice one source has Ada as 3rd daughter & another has her as 4th daughter. Not sure that's significant.

* Near the north-east angle of the church-yard are four recumbent figures carved in red stone. The figure to the north is that of an ecclesiastic resting on a slab, which forms the lid of a stone coffin, wholly above ground : that on the south is the figure of an armed knight placed on an altar-tomb, the feet resting on an animal, the helmet conical, and the shield emblazoned two barrs, in chief three leopards' heads, of which the centre and sinister head alone are remaining. The two middle figures, an armed knight and his lady, rest on a tomb higher than the last, over which is a raised pointed arch, with a pediment and pinnacles ornamented with crockets. The following inscription has been cut in capitals within the arch at the west end :
** Hie jacent Radulphus Br-
** ereton miles et domina
** Ada uxor sua, una fi-
** liarum Davidis comi-
** tis Huntingdonis.
* This inscription is mentioned in Church Notes taken 1576, but is noticed as being in characters more modern than the rest of the monument, which in Camden's time was claimed by the families of Venables, Mainwaring, and Brereton. It is, however, presumed that the question is settled by the seal mentioned in the account of the family of Venables of Astbury, which accords precisely with the arms on the shield of one of the figures already described (P).

These are omitted in the family pedigree, which begins with a William Brereton, a second William, and a Ralph, of whom no other notice has occurred. The first William was probably brother of the second Ralph.
* V. William de Brereton, son and heir of Ralph, by deed without date receives from Randle "de Torhaunt," in frank marriage with Margery his daughter, all the rents which Thomas de Wariul held from Peter, father of the said Randle, in Middlewich hundred(b).

Carole - can you translate that into your understanding of the family?

And what is the reference "he did not marry Ada de Huntington" citing Doug Richardson?

*David of Scotland (Medieval Gaelic: Dabíd) (c.?1144 – 17 June 1219) was a Scottish prince and Earl of Huntingdon. He was a claimant to the Scottish throne.
*He was the youngest surviving son of Henry of Scotland, 3rd Earl of Huntingdon and Ada de Warenne, a daughter of William de Warenne, 2nd Earl of Surrey, and Elizabeth of Vermandois. His paternal grandfather was David I of Scotland. Huntingdon was granted to him after his elder brother William I of Scotland ascended the throne. David's son John succeeded him to the earldom.
*In the litigation for succession to the crown of Scotland in 1290–1292, the great-great-grandson Floris V, Count of Holland of David's sister, Ada, claimed that David had renounced his hereditary rights to the throne of Scotland. He therefore declared that his claim to the throne had priority over David's descendants. However, no explanation or firm evidence for the supposed renunciation could be provided.
*On 26 August 1190 David married Matilda of Chester (1171 – 6 January 1233), daughter of Hugh de Kevelioc, 3rd Earl of Chester. He was almost thirty years Matilda's senior. The marriage was recorded by Benedict of Peterborough.[1]
*David and Matilda had seven children:
** Margaret of Huntingdon (c. 1194 – c. 1228), married Alan, Lord of Galloway, by whom she had two daughters, including Dervorguilla of Galloway.
** Robert of Huntingdon (died young)
** Ada of Huntingdon, married Sir Henry de Hastings, by whom she had one son, Henry de Hastings, 1st Baron Hastings.
** Matilda (Maud) of Huntingdon (-aft.1219, unmarried)
** Isobel of Huntingdon (1199–1251), married Robert Bruce, 4th Lord of Annandale, by whom she had two sons, including Robert de Brus, 5th Lord of Annandale.
** John of Scotland, Earl of Huntingdon (1207 – 6 June 1237), married Elen ferch Llywelyn. He succeeded his uncle Ranulf as Earl of Chester in 1232, but died childless.
** Henry of Huntingdon (died young)[2][3]
*Earl David also had three illegitimate children:[4]
** Henry of Stirling
** Henry of Brechin
** Ada, married Malise, son of Ferchar, Earl of Strathearn
*After the extinction of the senior line of the Scottish royal house in 1290, when the legitimate line of William the Lion of Scotland ended, David's descendants were the prime candidates for the throne. The two most notable claimants to the throne, Robert Bruce, 5th Lord of Annandale (grandfather of King Robert I of Scotland) and John of Scotland were his descendants through David's daughters Isobel and Margaret, respectively. .... etc.

In the Pipe Rolls of 1247, his wife Ada, being dead, it was noted that Henry held the manors of Condover and Worfield, Shropshire, "by reason of the heirs of Ada his wife whom he has by the said Ada." In 1249 he accompanied Richard, Earl of Cornwall with a great retinue to Lyons to visit the Pope. The same year he presented to the church of Blunham, Bedfordshire.

*Henry de Hastings (c. 1235–c. 1269) was created Baron in 1264 by Simon de Montfort. He led the Londoners at the Battle of Lewes, where he was taken prisoner, and fought at the Battle of Evesham. He resisted the King at Kenilworth, and, after the Dictum of Kenilworth he commanded the last remnants of the baronial party when they made their last stand in the Isle of Ely, submitting to Henry in July 1267.
*Henry was the only son of Sir Henry de Hastings and Ada of Huntingdon, one of four daughters of David of Scotland, 8th Earl of Huntingdon and Maud of Chester. Henry married Joan de Cantilupe, daughter of William III de Cantilupe and Eva de Braose.
*Although Henry was known by the title of Baron, his baronial title was not recognised by the crown; hence his son John Hastings, 1st Baron Hastings is regarded and enumerated as the first baron of the line.

Henry de Hastings died shortly before 9 Aug. 1250, Ada of Huntingdon died between 4 August 1241 and 30 June 1242, most of the references which list that Ralph Brereton was married to Ada state that she was widow of Henry de Hastings, it would seem that Ada died before Henry de Hastings. So how could she be his widow? And it would seem the 2 children attributed to her by Ralph were born after her decease.

If you ask me it does not seem then that Ada of Huntindon could of been wife of Ralph Brereton since she died before her husband Henry de Hastings.

re: Ada the elder. Source Wikipedia article on David of Huntingdon. See notes in about section.

OK, noting the discrepancy is what I needed. I wasn't following the thinking otherwise. :(

So we need to understand the death date of Ada of Huntington, Heiress of Yardley?

Who got the Yardley estates?

Do we agree that:

Sir Ralph or Randolphus de Brereton, Knt. He married, secondly, Margaret, daughter and coheiress of sir Rhydderch Groes. Knt.

This is as per http://books.google.com/books?id=xh0fAAAAMAAJ&lpg=PA92&ots=...

The History of the Princes, the Lords Marcher, and the Ancient ..., Volume 3, By Jacob Youde William Lloyd, page 92

If I get a "yes" I will go ahead and start that profile and cut loose "did not marry a possible stepdaughter"

makes sense to me.

As far as I can tell, the death date for Ada de Huntington is NOT known.

The exact quote is:

LIVING: 2 Nov 1241. (2, 4)

From
* 2. TCP vol 3 page 169 footnote
* 4. Magna Carta Sureties page 9 line 7:3

As cited on page https://histfam.familysearch.org//getperson.php?personID=I93191&amp...

I will see if I can get a view of the footnote. I assume she signed something on that date.
