    • Email note from Peter Bruges (email: peter_bruges@hotmail.com), Aug 29, 2002:

      Henry Bruges (Brydges) of Newbury was indeed the father of Sir Richard Brydges (Bruges). The family name is in fact Bruges and this is what Henry wrote in his will dated 06/12/1537 (Probated London 29/01/1538). Sister Joan only had two children by Gifford - whatever his first name was - namely John and Anne. Henry mentioned only them as grandchildren in his will. Joan did marry a Mr. Thornehull before the date of the will. Henry also mentioned his wife Margery late deceased who had a son Robert Bedford. Henry was indeed the son of the Thomas Brugge (Bruges) mentioned and Florence Darrell. Henry additionally mentioned and left money to Anne Darrell daughter the daughter of Constantine Darrell. So all of Henry's information ties up very nicely. The line from brother Sir George Darrell through Margery ties into the line of the ancient family - Longs of Wraxall and that ends with very aged Catherine Long spinster (1717-1814). Ironically her residuary legatees were a Reverend Chas. Coxwell and an ancester Thomas Bruges of Seend. Thomas died in 1835 after his wife and three daughters and nearly all the land and money passed into the Ludlow family.

      Sir Richards wife Jane Spencer was also burried in Ludgarshall and there is a sculpted monument there, pretty impressive I am told but I have not seen it yet.

      Regards, hope that this is helpful,

      Peter Bruges

      (descending from Thomas's nephew Thomas! who also died 1835!)
