suposed to have died without issue

NOTE!
Robinson's Mansions and Manors of Herefordshire refers in notes on"Breinton", to several members of a branch of the Coningsby' family whichthey were unable to trace, viz ......... Fitzwilliam Coningsby, gent of,Corporal of ye Lord Coningsby's Hospital, buried 4 may 1715.
In the IGI in the London Entries is an entry for a Fichwilliam Coninsgbyson of Henry and Annae Coningsby baptised 1655 at St Martins in theField, Westminster. Could this have been the son of this Henry and Ann.Unfortunatly there is no corborating evidence at present.
