Marriage and family
-
Bromley married in 1581[1] Joyce Leighton, Latinised as Jocosa in the Heraldic Visitation[11] and elsewhere, although this is a misunderstanding of the name.[12] Joyce Leighton was the daughter of:
-
Edward Leighton of Wattlesborough.
Anne Darrell, daughter of Paul Darrell of Lillingstone Dayrell, Buckinghamshire.
-
This was a marriage of equals, with both partners coming from the dominant group of county gentry families. Edward Leighton was a powerful force politically in Shropshire during the 1580s.[13] He was a member of the Council in the Marches and became custos rotulorum of his county in 1587.
Francis Bromley and Joyce Leighton had two children:[2]
-
>>>>
Thomas Bromley, the heir, who married Eleanor Jenks[14] but died without issue in 1610, leaving the Bromley estates to Edward Bromley, Francis's younger brother. Edward died in 1626, also without issue, leaving them to Sir George's third son, also called George.[6]
<<<<
Jane Bromley, who married William Davenport.[14]
-
Hallon became the focus of a bitter legal wrangle, lasting over several decades, the origin of which is recounted by Randall, the historian of Worfield, with some apologies for straying into the "region of tradition, but tradition fortified by facts."[15] Joyce Leighton remarried after the death of Francis Bromley, becoming the second wife of Walter Wrottesley of Wrottesley Park, near Tettenhall: a remarriage mentioned by the Visitation of Shropshire[11] and Burke's Peerage.[16] William Davenport and Jane Bromley allegedly eloped after a secret and forbidden courtship in the grounds of Wrottesley.[15] Subsequently, they put forward a claim to Hallon, which Edward Bromley had assumed was his. The family dispute was ultimately to be resolved in the Davenports' favour, with Hallon becoming Davenport House.
