Middlemore Family Genealogy

Middlemore's of Edgbaston

2. Henry Middlemore mentioned in the Heralds' Visitation, but with no particulars added by which he can be identified. Dugdale states, but without giving his authority, that he was living 8 Edward III, 1334-5 and possibly he is that Henry de Middlemore, attorney in 1365 for Thomas de Beauchamp, and defendant in a plea of assize in 1368.  It is reasonable therefore to infer that, like his father, he was connected with the legal profession.  Presumably he resided at Mapleborough, since Dugdale expressly states that the Middlemores had their seat there before they acquired Edgbaston.

No record of his wife's name has been discovered, though we have allusion to her, since it was for the wealth of the souls of his father and mother that in 1406 Thomas Middlemorefounded  the chantry in Studley church. The only child of whom we have direct mention is

  1. Thomas Middelmore, of whom next (3), but possibly the following were also his sons
  2. Henry Middemore, chaplain in Herefordshire 1397-9
  3. Edward Middelmore, of Tanworth, living in 1380.
