Brian Annesley was a gentleman pensioner of Queen Elizabeth, master of the harriers, and warden of the Fleet Prison.
In November 1596 Brian Annesley, Cordell, and John Wildgose husband of her sister Grace, were granted a house and lands forming part of the manor of Lee in Kent.
[4] Amongst news from court in January 1600, Rowland Whyte mentioned that "Mistress Onslow" might marry one Gifford of Hampshire, arranged by Lord Sandys, her brother-in-law.
[7] The husband of her sister Christian, William Sandys, was implicated in the rebellion of the Earl of Essex in 1601 and Lady Kildare took Grace's letter to the queen to plead for him.
She also wrote to Sir Robert Cecil, excusing her husband's fault as he was, "drawn into that clay by that wild Earl's craft".
John Wildgose, acting under advice from Sir Robert Cecil, went to Brian Annesley's house in October 1603 and found him "fallen into such imperfection and distemperature of mind and memory" that he was unfit to manage his estates.
She thanked him for the visit of the "sundry gentlemen of worship" but explained that this was not enough to satisfy John Wildgose, who wanted his father-in-law declared a lunatic.
If her father was declared a lunatic and incompetent to manage her affairs, she preferred that Sir James Croft would be made administrator of his estates.
It indicated that Cordell Annesley had erected the lost monument for her parents, "against the ungrateful nature of oblivious time".
[18] Her sister Grace had a son, Sir Anthony Wildgoose, who married Margaret, the daughter of Henry Lennard, 12th Baron Dacre.
