In June 1513, he was named at a Court at which WIlliam Roby and three others were admitted to three curtilages (a small piece of land attached to a dwelling and forming one enclosure with it). He died shortly before Michaelmas (Christmas) 1515, leaving an heir Thomas Roby, and one daughter named Emmotte, or Emmot.
There is a possibility that he had a daughter named Margaret, who married on 12 Nov 1515, at Castle Donington, to Edmunde, son of Thomas Piggott of Weston-on-Trent, (G. Notts, 1614).
A son of Edmund and Margaret Roby Piggott, Gervase, acquired land in Thrumpton, (G. Notts, 1614)
Gervase married 1st, wife's name unknown. Then married second, Jane Bradshaw, daughter of John Bradshaw of Burton-on-Trent, John dying on 4 Feb 1611-12. They had a daughter Elizabeth Piggott, b cir 1609, d 20 March 1634/35.
The above named Margaret Roby, is not proven as a child of John Roby, but has been placed in this record as a possibility only.
SOURCES:
Most of the information on this family through the first 6 generations, comes from the book, "Pedigree of Roby of Leicester", by Henry John Roby, published privately by him in 1889, and a supplement, published in 1907. A copy of the first book is on microfilm in the Library of COngress in Washington, D.C., and the second book is in the Library at Castle Connington. W.G. Robey, the author of the Robey/Robie/Roby History published in 1994, has copies of both books in his possession.
This book traced the family that remained in England. Wherever some member of the family migrated out of England, he did not trace that family any further. Henry John Roby served as a member of Parliament, and was a textile manufacturer. There are probably a great number of descendants of this family not accounted for, since he published his book in 1889 and the supplement in 1907. He died in 1910. If there is any further record of the descendants of this family, please contact the author of this book, W.G. Robey.
