He is believed to be Thomas Wolsey's uncle, being a brother to his mother Joan.[1] His daughter, Agnes, married William Ferneley, and their daughter Anne married Thomas Gresham.[2] His son, Robert Daundy, was also subsequently MP for Ipswich.

In 1509 he founded a chantry chapel located in St Lawrence Church, Ipswich. This has since become Chantry Park, Ipswich.[3]

He left extensive bequests for the town in his Will dated 2 May 1515.[4][5]
