2. Henry2 HOWARD Earl of Stafford (William1)19 was born circa 1647 at Westminster, London, England.20 He married Anne Gilbert (Of Gloucester I), daughter of Thomas Gilbert, on 3 Feb 1669 at St Margaret's, Westminster, Middlesex, England. There is quite a lot of confusion about this marriage. The certificate of marriage was supposedly lost and a reward of £2000 was offered for its recovery. However, regardless of the lost certificate (if it ever did exist), there may be no record of the marriage. (The marriage shown here is the only one found that appears to match. As to why Henry was called Stafford could be because his parents, in 1669 were the Viscount and Countess Stafford. However, at this stage, the marriage and Ann's maiden name should be treated with some skepticism.)

In 1825 an enquiry was held by the House of Lords, London, England, into a claim made by one of Ann's descendants to the Stafford title (Charlotte Gertrude MacCarthy). The claim was dismissed, not because it was incorrect, but because there was insufficient evidence. Ann "of Gloucester" was a Protestant , while the Howards were a Catholic family of longstanding . It could therefore have been an illegitimate union that resulted in the daughter, Ann, or very possibly a clandestine marriage, to protect property. Ann (the daughter) could have been a "foundling", or orphan if her mother had died in childbirth and her father had seen fit to ignore his daughter.21,22 He married Claude Charlotte Gramont, daughter of Count Philibert de Gramont and Elizabeth Hamilton, on 3 Apr 1694.23,24 He died on 27 Apr 1719 at France. According to Burkes Peerage he died without issue, but that reference only quotes his second marriage. His supposed first marriage may not have occurred.25 He was buried at Westminster Abbey, London, Middlesex, England. Even though Henry was a staunch Roman catholic he is buried in a Church of England abbey (this was a time when all churches by definition were C of E).26
On 1688 his name was legally changed to Henry Stafford-Howard. Henry Howard, later Stafford-Howard (1688), 1st Earl of Stafford, so created 5 Oct 1688, with remainder, in default of heirs male to his body; to his brothers and their male issue. Colonel of Foot 1688, Jacobite following Glorious Revolution. Married 3 or 6 April 1694 Claude-Charlotte Gramont and, according to Burkes Peerage he died without issue.27

Anne GILBERT (Of Gloucester I) was born on 28 Aug 1654 at Ashleworth, Gloucestershire, England. Ann, who was supposed to have wed Henry Howard, was named Ann of Gloucester. The assumtion that this is the correct Ann is based on a marriage found of an Ann Gilbert to a Henry Stafford around the correct dates. This Ann Gilbert in the only one listed on the IGI that came from Gloucestershire.28,29 She died circa 1670 at England. This is a rather tenuous date as no records have been found and it is a pure assumption.30
The only known child of Henry2 Howard Earl of Stafford and Anne Gilbert (Of Gloucester I) was:

    +  11  i.   Ann3 Howard (II), born 1670 at England; married Edward Rawlins; married Thomas Gorden (I).
