From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Geoffrey Daniell (born by 1516 – 1558/1561) was an English politician. In 1545, he was the Member of Parliament for Devizes.
Daniell was the second son of Piers Daniell of Budworth, Cheshire, and Margaret, née Savage, a Cheshire heiress. He was a member of the Inner Temple. By 1537, he had married a widow, Margaret, of Chippenham, Wiltshire.
Daniell was surveyor to Anne of Cleves in 1540, and to Katherine Parr by 1545. He was Justice of the Peace for Wiltshire in 1543 and 1554. He was a steward for the uncle of King Edward VI, Thomas Seymour, Baron Seymour of Sudeley, who was executed for treason.[1]
In March 1543, he is recorded as living at Marlborough, Wiltshire. Daniell probably had no surviving children – none were mentioned in any of the wills he made over the years. He died between 9 July 1558 and 4 February 1561.[1]
