Families covered: Delaval of Seaton Delaval
| Wotton (1771) & Lodge (1779) both start with a pedigee by Thomas Challock, Bishop of Oracade (a c1460s), which goes back to the 9th century and appears to be largely spurious. It ends with the children of Sir Guido who married Beatrix Bulmar. Wotton & Lodge report that the continuation was (according to Kimber) carried on by Dugdale & Bigland whose pedigree (according to Wotton) "begins with Sir Henry Delaval, Knt. temp W. Conq.". That appears to be the Henry who (reputedly by Gunnirilla, dau of Roger 'with the beard' de Beaumont or Bellamonte) was father of the following Henry who is the first mentioned by BEB1841. We might provide his disputed ancestry in due course but do not think it merits much attention. For these early generations we show in italics any data which we think derived from Challock. | |||||||||||||||

However, rather than lose sight of the information provided by Wotton & Lodge, we show James as Sir John's younger brother. |
