2. [S506] Note: Questions exist regarding the first name of this Dethick. This query has been found on-line from the Oxford Journal, 15 Dec 1906, but no response has of yet been seen. "Dethick Pedigree. — I shall be grateful to any of your readers who can inform me whether Sir Geffry de Dethick, living in 1287, was of blood royal, and, if so, where such descent can be found.
   Sir Geffrie Dethick, his descendant, of Dethick Hall, co. Derby, living 25 Edward III., married Emma, daughter and heiress of Sir Thomas Stafford, of Grafton, Kt. From what work can the lineage of this Sir Thomas be ascertained ? His arms are described as Or, a chevron gules, and a canton ermine.
   Authorities on the pedigree of the Dethicks of Dethick Hall appear to differ. According to Blomefield's 'Norfolk ' (1806) vol. vii. p. 505, the grandson of Sir Geffry, living 1287, was Sir Geffrey, who married Joan, sister of Mabel, Lady of Cadington, and was father of William Dethick, temp. Edward II. ; whereas in the ' Visitation of Norfolk 1563,' published by the Norfolk Archaeological Society (vol. i. p. 237), this Sir Geffrey and Joan his wife are entirely omitted and William, called Sir William, is given as the grandson in question.
   Again, Blomefield says that the son of Sir Geffrie by Emma, daughter and heiress of Sir Thomas Stafford, was John Dethick,
   who married Margery, daughter of ;
   whilst the Norfolk Archaeological Society's lineage gives the name as Sir William, and states that he married a daughter of
   Frankville, though it admits that this lady may have been the wife of this Sir William's son, also Sir William, as she appears to have been according to Blomefield, who, however, omits the marriage recorded of this last Sir William to Elizabeth, daughter of Thomas Derham, of Crimplesham (H.S. MS. 4756). Did this last-mentioned Sir William marry twice ?
   'The Visitations of Norfolk 1563, 1589, and 1613,' Harl. Soc. xxxii. 106, also omits Sir Geffry Dethick who married Joan, and the marriage of Sir William (8 Rich. II. ; 4 Henry IV.) with Elizabeth Derham.
   Can any of your readers inform me which of the above two pedigrees is correct ?
   The Genealogist (New Series), vol. vii. p. 78, gives the father of Robert Dethick of Dethick as Sir Geffrey Dethick, Kt., son of Sir William Dethick, Kt. ; in Blomefield's ' Norfolk,' vol. vii. p. 505, Robert is called the son of Sir William who married a daughter of
   Frankville ; whilst in the ' Visitation
   of Worcestershire, 1569,' Harl. Soc. xxvii. p. 47—for presumably Robert was the brother of William and John (see Norfolk Archaeological Society, vol. i. p. 237)—the father is called " Rauffe Dethicke of Dethicke Hall in Darbish." Of whom was he really the son ?" [This states our concerns as well - klm]
