     Richard Coningsby is the son of Robert Coningsby and Mary Wentworth.²
     Is this the Richard Conisbee father of Elizabeth who married Thomas Wyndham of Kentsford.? According to the Author of Juliana Coningsby he could well be the one as he does fit the description and his family were of Hampton Court

.........................................................................................................................................................................

The article on Juliana Coningsby and the Coningsby cavaliers was written some 50 years ago. The following pedigree attempts to put the pedigree into perspective. It is possible from the pedigree to trace all the family members mentioned. Juliana's Aunt Elizabeth Coningsby married to Sir Thomas of Kentsford, her cousin Francis Wyndham (married to Anne Gerard of Trent) but not Juliana herself. All the pedigrees of the very famous Wyndham family do not mention the Coningbys in more than a passing way and hence we do not know how they link!

If Juliana was related to the Wyndhams and Elizabeth was her Aunt, who were her parents? and where does Elizabeth fit in the pedigree?

n returning to the article we have.
'Elizabeth, Lady Wyndham, nee Coningsby, widow of Sir Thomas Wyndham of Kentsford. This lady appears in the Complete Baronetage, Collins’ Peerage (Egremont) and Collinson’s History of Somerset as a daughter of Richard Coningsby of Hampton Court, Herefordshire. Reference to the detailed pedigree of Coningsby of Hampton Court, given in C. J. Robinson’s Mansions of Herefordshire, p. 144, shows however that not only was there no Richard “ of “, in the sense of owner of, Hampton Court but that this Christian name does not occur on the pedigree at all and there seems no loophole for suggesting that any sons at this period have been omitted. That is legitimate sons, for Humphrey Coningsby of Hampton Court in his will pr. Oct. 24, 1559 (P.C.C. Chaynay, 45), mentions an illegitimate son, Humphrey, of whom nothing further seems to be known.

He had also a servant, Thomas Coningsby, who may well have belonged to the senior but less prosperous branch of the family of Neen Sollars in Shropshire, whose pedigree is given in the 16?? Visitation of Shropshire (Harleian Soc. 28). A Michael Coningsby was steward of Hampton Court in about 1617 (Robinson, p. 147) and might thus have styled himself of Hampton Court, but even in this way there does not appear to be any mention of a Richard connected with Hampton Court at the date when Elizabeth, who was married c. 1600, was born. On the other hand in the unpublished Wyndham pedigree by Wyndham Rickford, Sir Thomas Wyndham’s wife is described as Elizabeth, daughter of Richard Coningsby of Warwickshire'

And in Robinson's Mansions and Manors page 174 :-Thomas Coningsby of Leominster, (second son of Rich. C., who was fourth son of Humphrey of Nene Solers, the elder brother of Thomas Coningsby, who was progenitor of the Hampton Court line) m. Eleanor, d. of Thos. Hacinyt of Eyton, and heir to her mother, Mary, d. and coh. of Thos. Lochard of Grete, co. Salop. They had issue (with three daus.) five sons, viz.,
1 Humphrey, who m. Jane, d. of Sir Roger Windham, and o.s.p.
2. Robert, m. Mary, d. of Wentworth of Suffolk, and had Richard, Michael, and William;
3. Thomas of Hampton Wafer, d. 1615, leaving issue (see Grendon Warren and Hampton Wafer.);
4 Gilbert (see Withing'on); and
5. George, bap. at Leominster, x6 Feb., 1559-60.
The three daughters. were Winifred, wife of Simon Berington of Winsley; Elizabeth, (bap. at Leom., i8 July, 5563) en. Geo. Ketleby of Steple, co. Salop, and Fortune, bap. 24 Sept., 1565.

We can now see that indeed Michael has a brother Richard who would seem to fit the above idea. Indeed Humphrey Coningsby the Uncle of Richard actually married a Jane Wyndham of the Fellbrigge line (The Line of our Thomas Wyndham). which points to an early relationship between the two families. So wast Elizabeth was the daughter of Richard ?²
