The distinction between the two Anne Vavasours is clarified by Steven May [2] in the ODNB entry for Oxford’s mistress: [Oxford’s mistress] is often confused with her niece, also Anne Vavasour, who served as a gentlewoman of the privy chamber, c.1601–3. In 1603 she married Sir Richard Warburton of London (d. 1610), the third son of Peter Warburton of Hefferston Grange, Weaversham, Cheshire, with Alice, daughter of John Cooper. Their son Cecil was Warburton's heir. This Anne was related to Anne Clifford and in the service of Lucy, countess of Bedford, before coming to court. She attended Elizabeth's funeral and received a pension of £66 13s. 4d. early in James's reign. They had a son. [3]
