widow of John, son and heir
of Sir John Ardern (ix. 370). John Arderne, Rector of Brinton 1452 (ix.
370). Isolda de Arderne presented to Plasset and Attleborough in King
John's time (i. 503, 523). She was a benefactress to the Abbey of
Windham (ii. 516, 525). She was a daughter of Alured de Plesseto, and
left her body to be buried at Windham, and benefactions to the Abbey,
with the consent of William de Arderne, her son. Thurston Holland, of
Denton, married Jane, daughter of John Ardern, of Hawarden (i. 342).
Elizabeth, Duchess of Norfolk, presented Robert Arderne to the Rectory
of Aldeburgh (149), and at his death, 1504, gave it to Will Taylor (v.
353). Peter Arderne trustee for John Copputdike, of Witlingham, in 1432
(v. 456).

Page 196.--In relation to the Cheshire Ardens, Burke says that "the
elder branch of Ardens became extinct by the death of Walkelin Ardern,
_temp._ Richard II. Sir John Arden, younger brother, became head of the
family. A younger branch of Arderns settled at Alderley (Edward III.),
and ended in a few descents in a female heir, who married into the
Weever family, whose heiress married the ancestor of Sir J. Stanley. The
Ardernes of Leicestershire descended from Thomas, the younger son of Sir
Ralph Arderne of Harden, 1420, and brother of John of Harden." This is
confusing and unsatisfactory.

Page 199.--Does the following notice refer to this Thomas Arden of
Elford, etc.? "Thomas de Arderne, Chivaler, who was in Gascony in the
retinue of Ed. Prince of Acquitaine and Wales, had letters of protection
granted him for a year, Feb. 13, 1367.--Vascess. Roll, 41 Edward III."

Page 201.--In reading through the books of the Haberdashers' Company, I
find that "William Arden of Timporley, co. Cestr., Armiger, apprenticed
John Wigge 1583."

Page 202.--Debrett states that Baron Alvanley descended from Ailwin de
Arden. Vincent's "Cheshire Collections" state that he descended from
Ralph de Hampton. Ormerod disagrees with both.

"Mrs. Anne Goldsmith, of Nantwich, Chester, left a legacy to her
grandson, John Arden, 1709" (Marshall's "Genealogist," ii.).
