    Father Sir Edward BAMPFIELD,   b. Est 1490,   d. 20 May 1528  (Age ~ 38 years) 
    Mother Elizabeth WADHAM, [Parents?],   d. Yes, date unknown
    Other Partners: John WARRE  
    Married Est 1516 
    • According to Hemming ('The House that Richard Built') Edward had five daughters. No source is given but I suspect they are mentioned in Edward's IPM (which I have yet to see). Hemming also notes that all grew up and married, which the IPM would not show.

      Estimate of marriage date based on number of children; I am guessing they were all with wife Elizabeth Wadham.

    Family Elizabeth SIDENHAM,   b. Est 1540,   d. 4 Mar 1598/99  (Age ~ 59 years) 
    Married Bef 1557 
    • Children names from Vivian (Devon vis, p.39), as recorded in 1620, information probably supplied by Amias. Approximate dates of births based on that for Amias, based on age in his age as recorded in Richard's IPM. However, I am guessing an 18 month gap between children, but I don't know how the daughters were distributed amongst the sons, of if any who died in infancy are missing.

      Elizabeth was not mentioned in her father's will, written 8 April 1557. He mentioned only one daughter, making provision for her marriage. It seems safe to assume that Elizabeth and any other daughters living at the time were already married, and a marriage portion having been provided there was no need to mention them.
    Children 12 children
