(1) The following family was probably connected to the above. Thoroton appears to have confused the Thomas shown below as m1. Margaret Mollineux m2 Elizabeth Strelley with the Thomas shown here.
(2) The early generations in this section come from Visitation, the later ones from Commoners, with (as noted below) it being presumed that they were connected. Commoners introduces its article on the family with a note that indicates that it was connected to the line shown in the section above. It claims "to be descended from Wyamarus Whalley, who accompanied William the Conqueror from Normandy, and was the standard bearer at the battle of Hastings."
