Maude is nickname for Margaret as seen below

Walter and Margaret are also names of 2 of Sir Thomas Luttrell's children - what is the relationship between this John Luttrell and Sir Thomas Luttrell of Luttrellstown (John of Killeigh is Sir Thomas Luttrell's brother)

John Luttrell of Dublin, merchant (residing in Dublin) is survived by wife, Eleanor Humphrey Luttrell, daughter, Maude Howlder, and son, Walter Luttrell. Maude survived her brother, Walter, who survived his mother, Eleanor. Maude was in possession of the estate of John when this suit was filed. Walter had died a few weeks previous.

And after her decease Walter Luttrell, son to the said John, possessed the said goods, and entered to the said farms about four years past, and the same enjoyed all his lifetime without any letters of Administration sued. And wheareas the said Walter dyed about four weeks passed without issue of his Body, and after the Administrations of all the goods, Chattels, and leases of the said John Luttrell, the father [John's estate] was Committed by letters of Administration ready to be shown; by and duly protected to your petitioner, the said Maude.

Notwithstanding, Mary Luttrell, alias Preston, entered to the said farms presently after the death of the said Walter, and unjustly possesseth all the said goods and Chattels without any colour of right. The premisses considered, and the rather for that your petitioners know not what the certainty of the said leases, or of the said goods all at this time, whereby they may not commence any certain action by course of Common Law. And for that the said Mary keepeth the said deeds of the said leases in her own hands, and possesseth the said goods which she is like to dispose of if your Lordship give not remedy to your petitioners to prevent the same.

Your Lordship may be therefore pleased to give due order for Sequestration of all the said goods, and Chattels, leases to the hands of some Indifferent persons, and to grant a Subpoena, with a duces tecum to be directed to the said Mary to produce all the deeds of the said leases before your honour till your good Lordship, upon discovery of the right evidence, and of the leases and Chattels of the said goods, shall order the said controversy by due course of law, or equity and conscience to your grave consideration shall seem expedient. And your petitioner shall duly pray, etc.
