| 1. | Sir John Mainwaring of Over Peover (d before 1481) | ||||||||||||||
| Visitation (1580) shows Sir John's wife as Margaret Tuchett, dau of Lord Audley, and shows Mary Delves as first wife of their son William. We follow BP1934 & BLG1952 in showing the marriages as follows ... | |||||||||||||||

There is obviously some doubt here. | |||||||||||||||

| Visitation (Cheshire, 1580, Manwaringe of Peever) suggests an alternative parentage for the following Hugh, indicating that he may have been an illegitimate son of William Mainwaring of Peever by Emm Farrington, but goes on to give precedence to the connection we follow.

Ormerod (Cheshire, vol 3, 'Croxton and Mainwaring of Croxton', p114) reports that Hugh was "base sone of Randle Mainwaring of Peover" by ... | |||||||||||||||
