{Thomasina (or Damasyn) Stradling was a sister of Sir Edward Stradling, the second daughter of Sir Thomas. Traherne, p. 264, prints a 1567 letter from the Countess of Feria announcing her death. The Countess was Jane, daughter of Sir William Dormer and his wife, the daughter of Sir William Sidney, a maid of honor to Queen Mary, who married the Spanish Count of Feria, subsequently elevated to a Dukedom (Traherne, p. 1).}
