[This page was originally launched as Worsley1. It was renamed Worsley3 on 18.03.22 when a new Worsley1 was launched to cover earlier generations.]
| BEB1844 indicates that the following family derives from Sir Elias de Workesley of Workesley, now Worsley (near Manchester), who is shown at the top of Worsley1. ArchCamb, mentioned just below, reports that Hugh who m. a dau of Standish of Standish (presumed to be this Hugh) was descended from Jordan Worsley of Worsley Manor. | |||||||||||||||
| Hugh Worsley of Worsley Maynes, Lancashire | |||||||||||||||
| m. Anne Standish (dau of Ralph Standish of Standish) | |||||||||||||||
| 1. | William Worsley of Worseley Hall and/or Berkett, Cheshire | ||||||||||||||
| William is mentioned by Visitation with reference "vide Surrey" but we have yet to find anything of use on this family in any of our records of the Surrey Visitations. Visitation (Hampshire, 1686) just identifies him as ancestor of later Worsleys of Lancashire. However, ArchCamb ('vol VII, Series 4, 1876, p24+) shows that William of Berkett, son of Hugh by a Standish, had the following family. | |||||||||||||||
