Biography

Thomas Awbrey was born in Wales.

This profile is part of the Awbrey Name Study.

Thomas was born about 1315. He is the son of Thomas Aubrey and Nest ferch Owain Gethin. No spouse is known.^[1]

Thomas had two sons Richard Awbrey and Griffith. Griffith married Margred, sister of Richard's wife, Crisli^[1]

Thomas had a daughter (c. 1345), name unknown, who married Philip Hen (c. 1135) ap Trahaearn (c. 1305) ap Hywel (c. 1270) ap Trahaearn (c. 1240) ap Hywel Ddu (c. 1205) ap Hywel (c. 1175) ap Gwgan (c. 1134) ap Llewelyn (c. 1115) ap Moriddig Warwyn (c. 1080) ap Drymboenig (c. 1050) ap Maenrych (c. 1015). That Drymboenig was a brother of Bleddyn, king of Brecknock until 1093.^[1]

Thomas had a brother, Jenkin (c. 1320), who headed a cadet of the Awbrey family which may have "daughtered-out" in the early 1500s.^[1]

Research Notes

There is confusion about this Thomas as he is not specifically listed in Lewys Dwnn's Awbrey pedigree, or some other pedigree lists. His existence is based on research done by The Center for the Study of Ancient Wales:

"Dwnn Vol II, page 57 lists 3 consecutive Thomas Aubreys who married, respectively, ladies born c. 1205, 1230 and 1300.

There must have been a Thomas Aubrey born c. 1255 since Nest ferch Owain Gethin married a Thomas ap Thomas born c. 1285.

Likewise, there must have been a Thomas Aubrey born c. 1315 since Crisly ferch Philip born c. 1360 married a Richard ap Thomas Aubrey born c. 1350.

It is just a matter of keeping the pedigree both chronologically stable as well as maintaining the exact sequence of Aubrey male names cited in these marriages. Each citation gives the name of the Aubrey groom and his father's name, but that ancestry is carried no further."^[1][2]
