William Vaux III. was apparently a lawyer closely associated in business with Chief Justice Thirnyng. He owned, besides the Bottisham and Swafham Bulbee lands, some tenements in Northampton town. He married prior to 1398 Eleanor, daughter of Sir Thomas Drakelowe, Jr., and Ankeret his wife, and died in 1405. His widow then remarried Thomas Chambre of Sprotton, and died between 1445 and 1454. By her William Vaux III. had three children: William Vaux IV., Esq., born about 1400, who married about 1430-35 Maud Lucy, and was Sheriff of Northants in 1436 and Member of Parliament for Northants in 1441; Eleanor, who married about 1429 Thomas Giffard of Twyford, co. Bucks; and, apparently, Isabel, who married Sir William Tresham of Siwell, Northants.
