| Note A. There is much confusion regarding the generation-attribution of various of the daughters of various of the John Savages of Clifton. We have tried to use dates and common sense to attribute them correctly but where there is doubt we prefer to show them a generation earlier rather than later as otherwise people may presume an additional maternal line that turns out to be irrelevant. However, whilst some time was spent on this, more time is needed to gain full comfort on it so this is all subject to review. Any comments on this, from anyone who has studied the matter, would be welcome! | |||||||||||||||

Sir William Brereton - shown a generation earlier), Isabel (m. _ Needham, presumed sb Maude not Isabel) & Anne (m. _ Hampden). | |||||||||||||||
| partner unknown. | |||||||||||||||
| Visitation (Cheshire, 1580, Boner's Pedigree) supports Armstrong's & Ormerod's reports that Sir John had a bastard son, George, reporting that George "begatt these 7 bastards by 3 sundry women". | |||||||||||||||
| (7) | George Savage (parson of Davenham or Dunham) | ||||||||||||||

| (1) | Sir Edmund Savage (a 05.1544) | ||||||||||||||

| j. | Margaret Savage see Note C below | ||||||||||||||
| Margaret is shown by Armstrong a generation earlier but by Ormerod (vol 1), BE183 and (possibly) Visitation as of this generation. Ormerod (Cheshire, vol 3, Honford and Brereton of Honford) suggests that she m2. William Honford (d 09.1513) but the dates do not support that given that she had 2 children by Edmund. Provisionally we show the Margaret who m. William Honford a generation earlier.. | |||||||||||||||
