Comments

Husband of Agnes Illingworth. The Visitation pedigree has conflated him with his son, husband of Agnes Pulteney. The IPM (1500) shows the younger William as his son and heir. Assheby is the spelling in the primary sources (IPM, marriage settlements of his daughter Ann and relative George Assheby).
