The above seems to have been a family dinner. Sir Edward married, for
his second wife, a daughter of Sir Ashbornham, as appears by the
following entry:--
"1. January 1624/5, beeing Saturday, at sixe of y'e clocke att
night, atte Whitehall, in y'e Duke of Buckingham's lodgings, I
married Anne Ashbornham, third da of Sir Ashbornham, late of
Ashbornham, Kt."
In another entry we have--
"... Dec. 1626, being thursday, Elizabeth Lady Ashbornham widor of
S'r Jno Ashbornham, was married in S't Giles his Church in y'e
feildes, nere London, to S'r Thomas Richardson, K't, then Lo.
