From soc.genealogy.medieval “Zenobia Monke 1555-1620” (2018) <link>

The Lincolnshire visitation of 1592 has a Morison pedigree, and it shows Thomas Morysine of Sandon Herts, husband of Ellen daughter of Edward Powlter, as second son of Thomas Morysone of Cadby, and his wife Elizabeth, daughter and co-heiress of Thomas Moyne by Bridget, daughter of Sir William Hansard of North Kelsey, Lincs. There is no Moyne in the visitation, nor does Hansard appear there, but there is a Hansard pedigree in the 1562 visitation that named Bridget but marries her to Vincent Grantham. The solution to this is found in a published collection of Lincolnshire pedigrees, where Bridget is shown marrying fist Thomas Moigne of North Willingham, attainted and executed 1536, second to Vincent Grantham, and third Thomas Taylor of Lincs. Elsewhere in the same volume is a pedigree for Moigne of North Willingham, which shows several generation above Thomas, husband of Bridget and father of Elizabeth, wife of Thomas Moryson of Cadeby.
