| Siward or Sighard (a 1093) | |||||||||||||||
| Ormerod shows a dotted line between Siward and the following Richard whilst Visitation indicates that Sighard was Richard's father. We presume that this implies that an illegitimate son of Siward/Sighard was ... | |||||||||||||||
| 1. | Richard de Launcelyn | ||||||||||||||
| Ormerod spells the family name/designation as Launcelyn or Lancelyn, Visitation as Launcelin and then Lancelin. | |||||||||||||||

| (a) | Henry de Launcelyn (a 1315, dsp) | ||||||||||||||
| (b) | Richard de Launcelyn | ||||||||||||||
| Visitation ends with this generation, suggesting that Richard was under age 31E3 (i.e. born after 1336). Ormerod suggests that his son William succeeded to Poulton & Bebington before 23E3 (1349-50). It is surely impossible that both can be correct. | |||||||||||||||
