notes

Two of the offspring of that union {Sir Thoms Urswick and Johanna Hertforth} were Robert (Robert Urswick of Badsworth, High Sheriff, 1466) and Ellen. Robert married Katherine, daughter of Sir Thomas Haryngton, of Brierley, and Ellen was first wedded to Sir Richard Molineux, son and heir of Sir William who was son and heir of Sir John Molineux, living in the reign of Edward the 3rd. By Sir Richard, Ellen had two sons and three daughters, and becoming a widow in the year 1397, was afterwards married to Sir James Haryngton, a younger brother of Sir Thomas of Brierley. On the occasion of this her second marriage Ellen seems to have been well dowered, for we find the following Fine dated the year 1406, "Between Sir James de Haryngton, Plaintiff (which in these documents signifies the party who either purchases or accepts the property as a gift) and Thomas de Urswick with Johanna his wife, Deforciants (ie vendors or, in this case, grantors of the same) of messuages and lands in Wessington and Barningham, and also of a moiety of the Badsworth estate, known as Hertford's.
