Brother of Lancelot Andrews.
Thomas' brother Roger Andrewes' life was intertwined with that of his older brother, Lancelot. They were the only brothers who were part of the translation, sharing in one of history's greatest religious and literary endeavors. Though twenty years separated them it must have come as a shock to Roger to lose Lancelot to death on the morning of 25 September 1626. He had lost two other brothers, Thomas and Nicholas months earlier.
Ancestry of Lancelot Andrewes (b 1555), Bishop of Winchester:
PART ONE
Relatively little seems to be available on the ancestry of Lancelot Andrewes, Elizabethan scholar and Bishop successively of Chichester, Ely and Winchester until his death in 1626. Similarly, various claims may be found in print and online about other Andrews families who claim descent from the Bishop's family - many of these turn out to be spurious but there are some notable descendants living today, including the Parker Bowles children of HRH the Duchess of Cornwall.
John Aubrey ("Brief Lives") tells us that Lancelot Andrewes was born in London and was educated at Merchant Taylors School there, before going up to Pembroke College, Cambridge. Otley in his biography "Lancelot Andrewes" (1894) states that "he was born in Thames Street in the Parish of All Hallows Barking in 1555", noting that the exact date of his birth is unknown; he records that "the family was connected with Suffolk, but very little seems known of its history" - based on statements by the Bishop's earliest biographer, Henry Isaacson, in his "Exact Narration of the Life and Death of the late... Lancelot Andrewes" (1650) ("his father was... descended from the ancient family of the Andrewes in Suffolk".)
Bishop Buckeridge in his funeral sermon said that Andrewes's parents "left him a sufficient patrimony, which has descended to his heir", and Isaacson described the parents as "honest and religious". Andrewes himself, in his private prayers, records his thanks that he was "not the sad egg of sorry crows".
The best two articles dealing with the history of the family may be found in "More About Stifford & Its Neighbourhood", by W. Palin (1872), at pp 8-13 and 70-71, summarising the research of H.W. King, and in Suffolk Manorial Families, which re-examines the former material and provides the texts of some probate records to augment it. These articles are largely correct, but include some incorrect statements, as well as omitting some important facts.
There are also a couple of unreliable references in three Harleian Society Manuscripts in the British Library (Harl MSS 1094 and 1184, and 4031), nominally papers connected with the Vistation of Northamptonshire in 1618-19 by Augustine Vincent, and an undated roll pedigree in the Society of Genealogists' Library. These provide the following originating stemma:
1. Thomas Andrewes of Carlisle, ff 1286, married Magdalen Tokett
2. Ralph Andrewes, ff 1334, married Mary Thompson
3. Ralph Andrewes, of Cockold, married Jane Witney
4. Richard Andrewes of Husdon, married Elizabeth Marcant
5. John Andrewes, married Emma Vaughan
6. Henry Andrewes, married Blanche Smythe
7. Thomas Andrewes 'of St Edes' [i.e. St Neots, Cambs], married Mary Brough
8. Richard Andrewes, of Horndon-on-the -Hill, Essex, married Joyce Bresom
9. John Andrewes, of Horndon, married Joan Cotton
10. Thomas Andrewes of Horndon, "had three wives"
11. Thomas Andrewes of London, father of
12. "- Andrewes, Doctor in Divinity, Bishop of Chichester".
It is curious that the latest (i.e. contemporary) generation in this pedigree should be the only one missing a Christian name! These documents have normally been treated as an ambitious, but essentially fanciful, attempt to connect various disparate Andrews families, and hence it testimony rejected in terms of accuracy.
Nevertheless, we find that it is correct in relation to what it tells us about the Bishop's father and paternal grandfather, including (as we shall see) the statement that the latter had three wives.
I have been unsuccessful in ascertaining whether there is any historical evidence for the earlier generations, and accordingly suspect they should be treated as myth.
