Which William?
I see that Leo's message ties in Lucy Fitwilliam (nee Nevill) who m2 Sir Anthony Browne - see my recent message. As per that message, Lucy Browne described her daughter as Gascoign wife of Sir William Gascoign in her will of 20 Aug 1531, in the Will of her brother (that is Elizabeth's brother) William FitzWilliam 10 Sept 1542 she is again called Gascoign wife of Sir William Gascoign, but by 21 April 1547 in the Will of her half brother Sir Anthony Browne she is Elizabeth wife of Nicholas Hervey. Here she was described as sister not half sister of Sir Anthony Browne, but his full sister Elizabeth was than married to Hugh Somerset 2 Er Worcester (he d 26 Nov 1549), so he must have been referring to his half sister. Note that in Burkes extinct peerage Elizabeth Fitzwilliam is shown as m1 Sir Thomas Mauleverer and m2 Sir Nicholas Hervey (who he survived). No mention of Gascoign See Burke's Extinct Peerage (1883) page 277.
During the period 1450 to 1490 there were three Gascoignes, a father(I), son(II) and grandson(III). It was a family tradition to call the first-born son William... extensive lands in West Yorkshire and lived at Gawthorpe Hall, ... At this time, the Gascoignes relocated to Lotherton Hall, a few miles down the road from Towton. In the grounds of Harewood House is a church containing the tombs of Sir William (I) and Sir William (III). Sir William (I)'s grandfather's tomb is also here - a famous judge of his time. ...
Sir William was born c.1469 (aged 18 and more in November 1487), and died 20 October 1551, at the advanced age of 82! .... But did he live that long? Confusingly, there appears to be two wills for this same Sir William: the first, dated 14 October 1528, is printed in Knaresborough Wills Vol. 1 (Sur. Soc. 104, 1902), and the second, dated 28 January 1546, was proved 23 March 1552, and printed in Testamenta Eboracensia VI. The problem is, though the first will is clearly that of the above Sir William, as he mentions younger sons Marmaduke Gascoigne and John Gascoigne, the second will only mentions wife Dame Bridget, and no other family members, and makes no mention of superceding any previous will...
