Families covered: Morley of Droxford, Morley of Holme

                               
Both of the Visitation records used as sources for the families reported on this page report that the relevant family descended from Thomas, 3rd son of William, Lord Morley. [We are not sure whether this refers to the 1st Lord or the 3rd Lord.] It seems very likely that the family reported in the lower section of this page was connected to that reported in the upper section but we do not (yet) know exactly how they were connected. Maddison reports that the family in the upper section had the following arms: "Argent, a lion rampant sable, crowned or, a mullet for difference". Visitation reports that the family in the lower section had the following arms: "A lion rampant ducally crowned impaling Party per pale, three lions rampant".
