| Ormerod starts with the first Thomas mentioned below and identifies him as "younger son of Wettenhall of Wettenhall". Visitation (Cheshire, 1580) also starts with him and identifies him as "younger brother to Wetnall of Wetnall". However, Visitation (Cheshire, 1613) shows him as son of John of Nantwiche (a 1498-9) "(descended) of a yonger brother of Wetenhall" shown as son of John of Nantwiche (a 1444) who married Alice (d c1488). That is supported by Visitation (Rutland 1619). Provisionally, we hold back from connecting this line to that shown on Wettenhall1 but note that it is, of course, virtually certain that this line was a cadet of that shown on that page. | |||||||||||||||
