| Hugh Preston of Bolton, Lancashire | |||||||||||||||
| Commoners (vol 3, Tighe of Woodstock) identifies Hugh's son John as "great grandson of Jenico Preston, 3rd Viscount Gormanston". However, noting that BLG1886 (Tighe of Woodstock) just identified John as "John Preston, Esq.", and that Hugh is shown as from Lancashire, we presume that that suggested connection was fallacious. | |||||||||||||||
