Research Notes

Edward Windsor, currently said to be born about 1500, has previously been shown as a son, based on a 1921 article in The New England Historical and Genealogical Register [5] referring to him as the brother of an unnamed "Lord Windsor." The article gives no source for this and does not indicate which Lord Windsor is in mind. No reliable evidence has been found for Andrew Windsor and Elizabeth Blount having a son called Edward.

The unsourced Andrew Windsor, said to have been born at Stanwell, Middlesex in 1492, has also been previously shown as a son. Again no reliable evidence has been found for Elizabeth and her husband having a son called Andrew.
