I love finding this info and images! My 9th great-grandmother, Lady Dorothy Ann Plampin:
When Lady Dorothy Ann Plampin was born in 1555 in Nayland, Suffolk, England, her father, John, was 30, and her mother, Elizabeth, was 30. She married Thomas Stayerne/Sterne in 1566. They had 14 children in 33 years. She died on February 17, 1616, at the age of 61.
Thank you, and I had done that - many results and more likely an Italian noblewoman of the era, but I'll take a reasonable facsimile!
Do you know who painted this portrait or where it is currently located? She is an ancestor of mine, as well, and I am trying to add a source to this portrait.
Wow, that's amazing! I think it popped up on Ancestry, but I will look for more clues.
