BURDET.
Beatrix BURDET and Thomas BARNBY were married.
In the Visitation of Yorkshire in 1585 the pedigree of the Barnby family was
given.
"Thomas, son of Ralph and Beatrix Waterton, now living." "Thomas
Barnby de Barnby, ar.," is given among the "Liberi tenentes" of
Staincross along with Henericus Burdett de Denby, ar., and Franciscus Burdett
de Burthwaite, ar., and others. (ar = armiger). The Barnby family was one of
the few in this area which retained the Roman faith and had to suffer civil penalties
as "Recusants", refusing to obey the Act of Parliament which required
them to be in communion with the Church of England, as a safeguard (so it was
thought) against Papal intrigue against the State. In the 1604 "List of
Roman Catholics in the County of York " we read "Caiethorne parishe.
