1. Roger de Pilkington was born about 1325 in of Pilkington in Prestwich with Oldham, Lancashire, England; died on 2 Jan 1406.

Henry married Margery de Radcliffe. Margery (daughter of Richard de Radcliffe and (Unknown daughter of Henry le Boteler)) died after 1323. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

"Margaret, the third daughter, was married to Henry de Bury, and was one of the most remarkable women of her time. Her husband was slain at Bury in 1315, by partisans of Adam de Banastre, whereupon Margaret became the ruler of Bury Town, in the annals of which place she is known as Great Dame Margery, Lady of Bury. Two years before his death her husband made settlement of his lands, which were to remain to Margery, daughter of Richard de Radclyffe, for life; then to Henry, son of Henry de Bury, and in default of heirs, to Alice, Agnes, and Isabel, daughters of the elder Henry, failing whom, to Adam, son of Matthew de Bury, and his heirs. Shortly before the death of her husband, another son, Adam, was born to Margery, but his father's untimely end prevented any alteration of the settlement. Margery's elder son, Henry, was slain in another affray in 1318, one of the ringleaders in which was a relative of Roger de Freckleton, whom Margery had appointed Rector of Bury. She thereupon arranged an exchange of livings, sending Freckleton to Radclyffe, and bringing to Bury Richard de Radclyffe, her brother, that in the midst of a host of enemies she might have the support of one of her own indomitable clan. In the County Rolls, under date of 1323, it is recorded that 'Margt. de Burie held Manor of Burie, and renders Socage 8s. and the same Margery holds the town and renders for ward of the castle 10s.'"' On the death of Lady Margery, the Bury estate passed to the Pilkingtons, by the marriage of Alicia, eldest daughter of Margery, to Roger de Pilkington."

Notes:

Seneschal and Minister of the King's Forests of Blackburnshire.

Richard married (Unknown daughter of Henry le Boteler). (Unknown (daughter of Henry le Boteler and Isabella le Boteler) was born in of Warrington, Lancashire, England. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Robert married Amabel de Trafford. Amabel (daughter of Richard de Trafford and Margaret de Massey) was born in of Trafford, Lancashire, England. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

Annals of the Lords of Warrington (citation details below) says he was a knight of the shire for Lancashire in 1297 and died in the same year, but neither of these claims appear to be true. CP says that Henry died before his father, who died in 1280; this is why William's successor was William's grandson, Henry's son William (d. aft 1330).

Henry married Isabella le Boteler. Isabella (daughter of Richard le Boteler and Ellen de Haydock) was born in of Merton, Oxfordshire, England; died after 1328. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

Sometimes called Sibilla.

Other Events and Attributes:

• Alternate death: Aft 1248

Adam married (Unknown daughter of Alan de Curwen). [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

We have omitted the Traffords shown as preceding this Richard in, for instance, the Dugdale visitation of 1664-65 (citation details below). As J. Horace Round pointed out in a series of exchanges with W.H.B. Bird in the first decade of the 20th century, while this family and its surname certainly go back to the 12th and 13th centuries, some of the earlier names and connections claimed in the standard family pedigrees are implausibly fanciful.

Richard married Margaret de Massey. Margaret (daughter of Hamon de Massey and Agatha) was born in of Dunham Massey, Bucklow, Cheshire, England. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

Also called William Fitz Henry Pincerna. Knighted 1256; sheriff of Lancaster 1258-59; governor of Lancaster castle 1260.

VCH Lancaster (Warrington) appears to conflate him with his son William. Annals of the Lords of Warrington has him dying in 1303, contrary to CP's death date of 1280, which may be the result of a similar confusion.

William married Dionysia de Lostok. Dionysia (daughter of Henry de Lostok and Joanna) died before 1303. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

Asserted by some online sources to have been a supporter of Thomas of Lancaster, and executed as a result. We have so far been unable to confirm this.

Richard married Ellen de Haydock. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

"Henry de Haydock gave half an oxgang of land in Norcross to Richard son of Sir Richard le Boteler and Ellen his wife, Henry's daughter." [VCH Lancaster volume 7, "Townships: Marton", footnote 16.]

Sheriff of Lancashire 1194-95.

Alberic married Alina Garnet. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Henry married Joanna. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Richard married Alicia Carleton in 1281. Alicia (daughter of William de Carleton) died after 1284. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]
