She is called by Richardson (citation details below), 2:500, "daughter of John Arderne, Knt." Could this be the John Arderne who married Margaret Pilkington and whose daughter Maude (their only daughter, says Richardson, 1:138-39) married Thomas Stanley of Elford, Staffordshire?

William married Alice. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

Said by Ormerod (v2, p. 365) to have been Alice de Mascy, daughter of Hamon de Mascy and Matilda de Tymperley, but according to CP:XII/2, p. 247, there is no satisfactory evidence of this, although it is plausible that a de Mascy married an earlier Stanley.

William married Katherine Torond. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

Hereditary forester of Wirral, Cheshire. Ormerod gives, as his wife, "Mabel, dau. of sir James de Hausket of Storeton Parva, knt." CP says "He is said to have m. Mabel, da. of Sir James Hawkset of Stourton Parva." According to Wikitree, the book The House of Stanley by Peter Edmund Stanley (Edinburgh: The Pentland Press, 1998) argues against this and suggests an alternative. We have not seen this book, but the Wikitree page for this John Stanley summarizes its argument as follows:

"[T]his cannot be, as from 1300-50 Stourton Parva was held by heirs of Sir Phillip de Bamville (grandfather of John) and that there was no family surnamed Hauskett associated with Stourton Parva or Little Parva during this period.

"The author further states that a charter dated 13 Feb 1310 (no further identification given) given at Sefton in Lancashire endows John with the manors of Stanleigh and Over Elkeston in Staffordshire to be held by the said John and his wife Emma. The witnesses were: Sir Robert de Lathom of Lathom and Knowsley, Sir Ralph Bykerstaffe (Sheriff of Lancashire), Alan Norris of Formby and Speke, Thomas de Osbaldeston, William Blundel and Roger de Haverburgh.

"Stanley suggests Emma may have been a Molyneux because of the location of the Charter, but ultimately decides she was a daughter of Sir Robert de Lathom, because when John Stanley's grandson Sir John Stanley married Isabel de Lathom in 1385, a papal dispensation was obtained owing to the prohibitive degree of consanguinity 'third cousins once removed' (Ormerod)."

William married Joan de Baumville on 27 Sep 1282 in Astbury Church, Cheshire, England. Joan (daughter of Philip de Baumville and (Unknown) de Pulford) was born in 1264; died after 1325. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]
