• Notes

  Briggs, p. 282, transcribes the following entry from the parish register of Otley: "Mrs. Olive Oldfeild of Leedes dau of Sr. Robert Dyneley of Bramhop bur the xxjth of Februa." College of Arms MS. Norfolk 4, pp. 140-41, states that Olive married Edward Hoppey, and that her sister, Ellen (or Helen, according to her baptismal record), was the wife (as her second husband) of ". . . Oldfield." The foregoing record of burial suggests that Coll. Arms MS. Norfolk 4 has the spouses of Olive and Ellen confused. The error in MS. Norfolk 4 is confirmed by the records of the Court of Chancery. There were several legal suits between Richard Oldfield and his wife Olive, on the one hand, and their niece, Olive Croft, née Dyneley, on the other hand. Olive Croft was the sole heiress of Mrs. Oldfield's brother, John Dyneley of Bramhope. Richard Oldfield and his wife claimed five hundred pounds under the terms of John's will. John Dyneley had died in 1627, seized of estates worth approximately six hundred pounds per annum. He devised his lands to his daughter, Olive, who was then an infant. A pecuniary legacy allegedly to be paid from the income of the estates was disputed. It is not certain whether Edward Hoppey was therefore a second husband of Helen (or Ellen), or whether he had no connection to the Dyneley family. [4]
