_____________________________

--------------------
He married twice, on each occasion to a lady of the same name: Anne Middlemore. His first wife was the daughter of Margery née Throckmorton and Richard Middlemore of Edgbaston. The exact date is unknown, but the marriage probably took place sometime in 1506 because in that year William entered into a bond of 1000 marks to Dame Margery, his mother in law, to secure lands in Stratford, Banbury and elsewhere immediately; they were to be held by feoffees in trust for himself, his wife and their children. Any future purchase of land worth £9.13s 4d would also be held by trustees on Anne’s behalf. This suggests the possibility that this agreement formed part of the marriage settlements, perhaps Anne’s jointure lands.

By the time William’s father died in 1512 the couple already had three daughters, Margaret, Dorothy and Alice. Each received a silver spoon and two sheep; Dorothy did not survive into maturity. At least five others followed – again, all girls. Anne herself died around 1537 of ‘a sickness in the brest’ as Roger Morris of Shipston reported to the inquiries of 1560. Morris added that Michael Dormer, mercer and Alderman of London, had written proposing a suitable second wife to which Willington replied ‘he would have no other heirs’ – and turned the proposal down. He did not re-marry until 1545 when in November a Faculty Licence was issued to permit him to marry, without banns and in whatever church he chose, the second Anne Middlemore, widow of Thomas Middlemore of Studley, the brother of Willington’s first wife.
