father Thos. Strickland married twice

  • First to Agnes [Parr?],
  • then remarried to the wid. of John Byron, Margaret, dau. of Robert Fouleshurst.

Strickland's first wife said to have 1 dau. Joan, who married Thomas Middleton. Maybe Anne Ashton nee Strickland, was the dau. of Strickland's second wife, Margaret Fouleshurst ... which might explain the deed of c. 1502.
