Set As Default Person 
-
Name Laurence BAMPFIELD Relationship 
with Teresa Ann GOATHAM Born Bef 1521 - Shown first in Vivian, I am guessing she was the oldest daughter.
Gender Female Executor / Trustee Executrix for the will of John Bidwell - A Chancery Court case shows that Laurence, when the wife of Robert Fulford, was the executrix of John Bidwell, presumably her late husband of this name.
(So far, only Discovery catalogue entries seen, not the actual documents - pleading(s), ).
Died Yes, date unknown Siblings1 brother and 4 sisters Patriarch & Matriarch 
John [?] BAMPFIELD, b. Est 1362, d. Yes, date unknown (3 x Great Grandfather)
Katherine PAYNE, d. 20 Mar 1472/73 (2 x Great Grandmother)Notes - Vivian shows as the daughter of Edward, according to the original visitations and Edward's IPM. The names of her husbands are shown by Vivian (that her first husband was a Bidwell and 2nd Robert Fulford from the 1620 visitation. (Source of Christian name John of first unknown).
Also according to Vivian (Devon Visitations, p.38) she and her children are named in Edward's will; this is patently untrue. There are no children named in Edward's will and assuming she was the daughter of Edward was probably only a young child when her father died.
Has Vivian attached her to the wrong father or was it some other will he was thinking of? I wonder if it was the father of one of her husbands. John himself must have left a will as 'Lawrens' is described as executrix of it in a Chancery Court case (so far only Discovery entries seen), but there seems to be nothing about it surviving (judging from the DWP, checked 7 Oct 2017).
Lawrens was married to Robert Fulford by the time of the Chancery Case, which is dated in the range 1538-44.

Father Sir Edward BAMPFIELD, b. Est 1490, d. 20 May 1528 (Age ~ 38 years) Mother Elizabeth WADHAM, [Parents?], d. Yes, date unknown Married Est 1516 - According to Hemming ('The House that Richard Built') Edward had five daughters. No source is given but I suspect they are mentioned in Edward's IPM (which I have yet to see). Hemming also notes that all grew up and married, which the IPM would not show.
Estimate of marriage date based on number of children; I am guessing they were all with wife Elizabeth Wadham.

Family 2 Robert FULFORD, d. Yes, date unknown Married Bef 1544 - Laurence's husband John had died and Laurence remarried by a Chancery Case, dated sometime between 1538-1544.
This marriage is shown in Vivian in the Bampfield pedigree (from the 1620 visitation) but not in the Fulford pedigree, so I am not clear if he was the Robert shown on that pedigree, brother of John Fulford (d. 1544). Dates would suggest that Robert would have been somewhat older than Laurencia, but John's will does show that he was still living in 1544.
