| Commoners identifies William's wife as Elizabeth, 3rd dau of Amos Meredith, sister/coheir of Sir William, Bart of Henbury, with the implication being that her brother was the 3rd Bart. We suspect that she was a generation earlier, being ... | |||||||||||||||

| m. Alice Quixley (dau of John Quixley of Quixley) | |||||||||||||||
| (1) It appears that Quixley is the old spelling for Whixley, a village in Yorkshire. (2) The following comes from Visitation (Foster 1875, Yorkshire, 1584/5+1612, Banke of Quixley) which spells the name througout as "Banke" and which appears to have been subjected to some revision by the Harleian editor. |

| m1. Alice Wilstropp (dau of Robert Wilstropp) | |||||||||||||||
| (1) | John Banke of Quixley or Whixley | ||||||||||||||
| m. Alice Stokes (dau of Robert Stokes) | |||||||||||||||
| (A) | Richard Banke of Quixley | ||||||||||||||
| The Harleian editor reports of contradictions between different manuscripts on the names and order of his wives. For example, one identifies _ Thoresby as his 2nd wife and _ Slingsby as his 4th wife. We broadly show what is given in the main body of the pedigree subject to the fact that it shows _ Slingsby as 2nd wife as well as _ Chasy, albeit the latter in italics. | |||||||||||||||

| ((2)) | Oswald Banke or Bankes | ||||||||||||||
| We speculate in showing the following which comes from Walker's Yorkshire Pedigrees (1942, Bankes of Whixley). Walker mentions an Oswald (son (not brother) of Thomas of Whixley son of Thomas son (by Margaret, dau of Rafe Pulleyne of Scotton (= Pulvertofte below??)) of Richard brother of Alison (m. Sir John Mauleverer of Allerton Maulevere) and son of John son of Thomas) and reports that he sold Whixey and went into Ireland. His wife was ... | |||||||||||||||
