Dear 'MA-R',

Thanks for those posts re: the Penningtons, and Lacys of
Cromwellbotham. It would appear that the Pennington link has
a firm basis (while retaining assorted caveats re: the
pedigree from the link you provided), as I show the following
ties to Bridtwisel involving Henry de Lacy, son of John de
Lacy and Margaret de Eland (elder per the pedigree, younger
by my rendering):

1. Release dated 1328:

' Release: Walter s. of Nich. de Tours to Hen. de Lascy s. of
John de Lascy of Crumwelbothem & Beatrice dau. of John de
Calverley; an annual rent of lands & tenements in Bruddestwisel
& Dunnokshagh in Blaburnschir, Castelton, Ypotland, Hunresfeld
& Butterwrth in Rachedale (Seal) ' - A2A, Lancashire Record
Office: Towneley of Towneley , DDTO K 24/32

2. Grant dated 1361:

' Demise: Joan, formerly the wife of Hen. de Lascy of
Crumwelbothem, for my life, to Gilbert del Legh; all my lands
& tenements in Bridesthuesel which I have in the name of
dower ' - A2A, Lancashire Record Office: Towneley of
Towneley , DDTO O 12/73

These records appear to work better with the pedigree
presentation (i.e., with Henry being eldest son of John and
Margaret), including the reflection of two wives (Beatrice,
then Joan as widow).

I will post my current version of Lacy of Cromwellbotham
for your review in short order. This does not go too far
beyond the medieval range, but does indicate a need for
correction (either of my records, the on-line pedigree, or
possibly both).

Cheers,

John
