Subject: Shoresworth of Lancs - ancestral to the Worsleys & Booths
Date: Sun, 20 Apr 2008 10:13:33 -0700 (PDT)
The Visitation of Lancs, 1664-5, gives a pedigree for the Worsley
family which includes this element:
1. Henry de Worsley, married secondly "daughter of Schoresworth";
issue:
2. Robert de Worsley, of Booths; married Cicely Bramhall; issue:
3a. William de Worsley
3b. John de Worsley
3c. Ellen de Worsley, married Thomas Booth [ancestor of the Booth
family]
Some further particulars of the Shoreworths are given in VCH Lancs,
vol 3, sub Denton. This allows us to construct the following initial
stemma for them:
A. Robert, parson of Mottram; had a daughter:
B. Cecily, ff 1299, married (i) - Norris; (ii) Robert de Shoresworth,
dead by 1299; issue by both marriages:
C1. William Norris - had a son, Robert Norris, ff 1310
C2. Alexander de Shoresworth, ff 1281-1330
C2. William de Shoresworth, had issue:
D. Robert de Shoresworth, ff 1281; had issue:
E. Margaret de Shoresworth, ff 1348; married firstly by 1292 [VCH
Lancs, vol 4, sub Worsley, n 19] Henry de Worsley; married secondly by
1305 [ibid] Robert de Radcliffe. She also had a son, Thurstan, by Sir
William de Holand, who was assigned lands at Denton by his mother's
great-uncle in 1325-6 and left issue.
I have seen a death-date of 1363 assigned to Margaret, but am not yet
convinced that this is accurate.
