Notes for George Raleigh
In the CP Saye and Sele article it does not give the name of George Raleigh’s wife. I have been informed that this was Frances Fortescue, the repudiated wife of Thomas Fitzgerald, earl of Kildare; I have yet to find confirmatory evidence for this.

However the Warks visitation of 1619, p. 77, says that he m.:
1. Jane da. of Will’m Connysby of Aldenha’ Kt, with 5 s. and 3 daus,
2. Widow of Fitz Gerrard, with one dau.,
3. Anne da. of ... Erneley, with one son.
Obviously “Widow of Fitz Gerrard” is not clearly an identifier of the Frances Fortescue, (repudiated) wife of Thomas FitzGerald, earl of Kildare. But it is a start.
