Roskell et al say of Thomas Manningham, MP that he "was almost
certainly a Yorkshireman by birth, and although we do not know exactly
how he came into possession of the substantial estate in and around
Wakefield [including Wrenthorpe] which eventually descended to his son
John, some of it, at least, may well have been inherited."
Harl. Soc. Pub. Vol 96 'Yorkshire Pedigrees' contains at p 479 an
unreferenced pedigree of de Wrenthorpe ['Wyrenthorpe'] which leads into
a Manningham pedigree, the latter generations of which will look
familiar to anyone who has followed these posts, viz:
1. Roger de Wyrenthorpe ff 1275; dead by 1278
2. Robert de Wyrenthorpe ff 1278; quitclaimed to son, 1342 (sic)
3. Adam de Wyrenthorpe ff 1342; dead by 1348
4a. Claricia de Wyrenthorpe, daughter and coheir; married Roger del
Clay ff 1362
4b. Elianora de Wyrenthorpe, daughter and coheir, ff 1362; married
Thomas de Manyngham, ff 1375
5. Joseph de Manyngham, of Wrenthorpe, Yorks
6. Thomas de Manyngham; married Katherine [Asplion]
7a. John de Manyngham, of Wrenthorpe; ff 1455
7b. William de Manyngham ff 1454
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
At p 344 of Harl. Soc. Pub. 95 (also Yorks Peds) we are told that
"Henry Soothill, a lawyer, purchased the manor of Wrenthorpe from John
and William Manyngham for £300 in 1457".
I should add that I have been unable to source any of the above
statements, or to otherwise confirm any of them.
