Annoyingly, the Visitation used as the Main Source for most of this page appears to be wrong in the way that it shows how the family's most famous member Lord Chancellor Thomas connected to the undermentioned family. BE1883 Audley of Walden reports a Lord Braybrooke as having reported that "It seems extraordinary that neither Camden, who lived so much nearer those times, nor Dugdale could with all their industry satisfy themselves as to the birth-place or extraction of Thomas Audley" but goes on to identify the following Geoffrey as his father. This is supported by TCP Audley of Walden. BE1883 indicates that the family had been at Earls Colne for several generations. TCP notes that Thomas "appears to have had two brothers, both also named Thomas, who inherited the manors of Berechurch and Gosbecks, near Colchester." This appears to confirm that Thomas was of the family covered by the Visitation but, until we see how Geoffrey fitted into that family, we show him separately. | |||||||||||||||

Visitation Bedfordshire shows Henry as dsp and his brother Thomas of
Houghton Conquest 2nd of that name, the other being Lord Chancellor Thomas
as father of the Thomas who m. Anne Hewet. However, the Harleian editor
notes that the Essex Visitation shows that Thomas m. Anne Hewet as son
of Henry rather than Thomas and adds "which I think is right, as I do not
think Henry had two brothers named Thomas."
