| Visitation (1580) shows John as married to Katherine Hussey and his son George as married to Elizabeth, dau of Thomas Redish. From the children, who appear to be duplicated within Visitation (1580) both as being his children and his siblings, this appears to be the John who is the first mentioned by Visitation (1663), shown there as married to Elizabeth, dau of Thomas of Reddish. We presume that John married twice as shown below and provisionally ignore the reference to a George Holford. | |||||||||||||||
