The following was found in a couple of web sites on Corby.
Richard de Salkeld of Corby (a 1337)
1. Hugh de Salkeld
  m. ??, heiress of Rosgill
  A. John de Salkeld of Corby
i. Richard de Salkeld of Corby
  The sites do not mention Richard's wife but report that he had 5 daughters, Catherine (married a Salkeld of Whitehall), Mary (married a Blenkinsop of Holbeck) and 3 others (not named). This is presumably the Richard of Corby identified in the Dykes records as father of Christiana by ...
  m. Jane Vaux (dau of Richard Vaux of Tryermain) mother of Christiana, presumed also of ...
  a. Catherine Salkeld
  m. (Richard?) Salkeld of Whitehall below
  b. Mary Salkeld
  m. _ Blenkinsop of Holbeck
  c. Christiana Salkeld probably of this generation
  m. William (del) Dykes of Wardhall
  d.+ 2 daughters
  The Salkelds of Whitehall are reported as being descended from a younger son of the Corby branch who settled at Gowbarrow. Possibly of this generation was the following Richard who is the first named in Visitation (Cumberland, 1615, Salkeld) which provides the bulk of the following. Note that Visitation does not designate any of this family as being of Whitehall although cross-references to individuals make it clear that it was. Similarly, Visitation identifies only Launcelot (who married Margaret Hodleston) and his father as being of Gawbarrow or Garbarrow. We (provisionally) add the designations.
  B. Richard Salkeld 'of Gowbarrow'
  i. Hugh Salkeld (dsp)
ii. John Salkeld 'of Gowbarrow'
  a. Richard Salkeld 'of Gowbarrow & Whitehall' (d 1438-9)
  Visitation identifies Richard's wife only as "Catherin". It is a presumption that she was the following Catherine but the dates appear to fit.
  m. Catherine Salkeld (dau of Richard de Salkeld of Corby) above
  (1) Thomas Salkeld 'of Gowbarrow & Whitehall'
  (A) Thomas Salkeld 'of Corby'
(i) Richard Salkeld of Corby
  Visitation designates Richard as "lord of Corby".
  (ii) Janet Salkeld possibly fits here
  m. John Brisco of Crofton
  (B) John Salkeld of Gawbarrow (Gowbarrow) 'and Whitehall'
  (i) Lancelot Salkeld of Garbarrow (Gowbarrow) 'and Whitehall'
  Visitation reports that one source shows Lancelot's father as named Richard but appears to favour what we show.
  m. Margaret Hodleston (dau of Richard Hodleston, sister of Richard)
  (a) Thomas Salkeld 'of Whitehall' (b c1505, d 1572)
  m. Mary Vaux (dau of William Vaux (or Vaulx) 'of Caterlen')
  ((1)) Lancelot Salkeld 'of Whitehall' (b 1550, d 1610)
  m. Elizabeth Bardsey (dau of Nicholas Bardsey of Bardsey Hall)
  Visitation ends with naming Lancelot & Elizabeth's children (and Anne's husband).
((A)) Anne Salkeld
  m. Joseph Porter of Bolton
  ((B))+ other issue - Francis, Nicholas, Thomas, Lancelot, Jane, Amye, Margaret
  One of the sons is presumed father of ...

  ((2)) Thomas Salkeld of Salter 'and Brayton' (d 1627)
  ((3)) John Salkeld of Holmerock (d 1613)
  At least one web site identifies this John as (also) 'of Threapland'.

  m. Leonard Dykes of Wardhall
