CORNYSHE, William, junior, son of the preceding, was a composer in the early part of the sixteenth century. Three part-songs by him are contained in a manuscript volume compiled by Dr. Robert Fayrfax, and now in the library of the British Museum (Add. MSS. 5465.) Two of those songs were printed by Hawkins in his History of Music.
