  Noted events in her life were:

• Background Information: ⁷⁷⁵
"The vaccary of Lowgill, with which Ivah, formerly Ivetho or Ivo, seems to have been joined, was held by a younger branch of the Tatham family, and passed to Urswick and Kirkby of Upper Rawcliffe. Robert de Urswick in 1376 obtained a grant of free warren for his demesne lands in Tatham, Cansfield and Upper Rawcliffe. [*]

* Deeds concerning it are in Dods. MSS. cxlix. John son of Sir John de Tatham gave his brother Robert the vaccary called Lowgill; [fol. 91b] Sarah widow of Sir John in 1319 released to Robert de Tatham her son all her right (by dower) in the same [ibid]. Edmund de Dacre granted for life to Robert de Tatham in 1323-4 a vaccary in Tatham Fell (in monte de Tatham) called Ewardsclough, as it was inclosed and dyked [fol. 91]. Afterwards he released all his right in it [fol. 92]. Robert de Tatham twenty years later gave Lowgill to John de Urswick, rector of Tatham, probably as trustee [ibid]. At the same time he gave Ewardsclough to his daughter Sarah and her issue [ibid]. She married Adam de Urswick (d. 1361), and so the inheritance in Tatham, Hornby, Cantsfield, Wray, Kellet, &c., descended to Kirkby. In 1334 Isabel widow of Adam de Urswick claimed dower in a messuage in Tatham against John de Roeburndale [De Banco R. 297, m. 219 d]. John son of Roger Kirkby of Upper Rawcliffe held land in Tatham in 1438 in right of his wife Ellen daughter of Sir Robert de Urswick and Margaret his wife [Towneley MS. C 8, 13, K 37. See also Final Conc. iii, 133].
