| (1) There are conflicts between the various Visitation records on this family. We considered holding back from releasing this page properly into the Database and identifying this page only as Draft. However, we have managed to develop a reasonably cohesive report - although we have varied between which of the Visitations we think should be followed (sometimes with little more than intuition to lead us) so that the following should not be viewed as fully reliable and is certainly subject to review in due course should further information on this family come to our attention. Note that VGWI, VGWY, VHWI & VHCE refer to the different Visitation records used to develop this page. These are identified at the foot of this page. We presume to treat John as the same as Jevan and Walter as the same as Watkin or Watkyn. (2) VHCE shows the progenitor of this family as Sir Tiens de Valence (son of Sir Teyns de Valence in France) father of Gilbert father of Yeban Wynston (sic, see below). VGWI starts with ... |

| m. Joane Cecill (dau/heir of Reiginald Cecill of Penclough) | |||||||||||||||
| (1) | Hugh (or Watkin) Winston of Winston | ||||||||||||||
| VGWI names him Hugh within the pedigree but the Harleian editor added a note reporting that, "According to official record in the Heralds' College" he was named Watkin. Not least because of this, we follow VGWY & VHCE on this generation. | |||||||||||||||

| m. Joane (dau of Howell ap Eignion) | |||||||||||||||
| VGWY shows Watkyn's eldest son as Thomas "a quo Wynston de Huyas" with younger sons John of Wynston (Winston), married to Margaret Walby, and Watkyn (also married to a Margaret Walby, parents of Joane who married William Gernon of Blakmore - note that we show that Joan as of a later generation) VGWI shows just one son, Sir Walter. VHCE shows just one son, John. We presume to show VHCE's John as younger brother of VGWI's Sir Walter. | |||||||||||||||
