Biography

Thomas Ivie was born before 1519, the son and heir of Richard Ivie of Sodbury, Gloucester.^{[1] [2]}

He married first, Elizabeth, daughter of H. de Keynes^[2], before 1539, which is about eight years prior to 1547, by which time Elizabeth had died, and Thomas had remarried. Elizabeth Keynes is named the mother of Ferdinando, and probably the mother of at least three more children, which implies their marriage lasted at least seven years, assuming no twins.

Thomas married second, Elizabeth Malet, daughter of Hugh Malet of Enmore and Isabel Mitchell, by 1547, which is the latest possible birth of her oldest known child, Mary, who was married in 1562.^{[3] [2]} She had at least five more children, whose births are estimated between 1551 and 1571 at the latest. Elizabeth died before December 12, 1592, as she is not named in Thomas' will.

In 1579, he deeded land to Thomas Smith.^[2]

Children

By his first wife, Keynes:^[2]

1. Ferdinando, born before 1545, died before 1592 (father's will). But had children.

and possibly:

1. George? born before 1547, son and heir, mentioned in Father's will.

(not listed as a son of Elizabeth Malet in the Visitation, though her other sons are listed, so he was more likely the son of Elizabeth Keynes, or maybe his grandson, George, by his firstborn son, Ferdinando.)

1. Margaret m. Richard Digges.

(also possibly a grandchild, as his daughter Mary "also" had a daughter named Margaret who married a Richard Digges.)

1. Leonard

By his second wife, Malet:

1. Mary, born before 1547, m. Richard Gore/Gowre and probably ___ Digges
2. Judith, born by 1551, m. Anthony Prater. She died 5 Feb 1578
