| m. Elsabeth Morton (dau of John Morton of Morton by Elsabeth, dau of Guy Rocyffe of Cothorpe) | |||||||||||||||
| (1) Visitation (Yorkshire, 1563/4, Roclyff) shows the above Elsabeth as married to "Henry Eltoft of Craven who had issue Crystofer". This is thought to be this Henry but the wording is such that it is not clear whether or not Elsabeth was Christopher's mother. (2) Walker shows two sons of Henry, William & Christopher, both "of Farnhill" and both having had issue with William as father of Anthony but no children being named for Christopher. Visitation (Eltofte) shows Christopher as father of Anthony. We provisionally follow the latter. |
