| Richard Disney of Norton Disney, Sheriff of Lincolnshire (d 30.12.1578) | |||||||||||||||
| m1. Margaret (or Neile) Hussey (b c1511, dau of Sir William Hussey of Bevall) | |||||||||||||||
| m2. Jane Ayscough (bur 27.12.1590, dau of Sir William Ayscough of South Kelsey) | |||||||||||||||
| The Visitation records both show Richard's children as by his second marriage (to Jane Ayscough) but BLG1952 shows them (naming only the eldest 2 sons but "with other issue") as by his first marriage (to Margaret Hussey). As BLG1952 appears to have referred to the Lincolnshire Visitation but (presumably) found reason to disagree with it, we do not know which version is correct or whether some children were by the first marriage and some by the second. | |||||||||||||||
