  • In 1507 William Kirkby of Kirkby (see chapter VIII.) married Elizabeth, daughter of Thomas[1] Thornborrow and sister to Roland Thornborough, and in 26th Henry VIII. [1534-5], Gervase Middleton of Leighton, in Lancashire (son of Thomas Middleton), and Roland Thornborough of Hornsfield, were bound to William Kirkby of Uprawcliffe in a sum of 200 marks, the condition being that Gervase should marry Anne, daughter of the said William Kirkby. The marriage subsequently was celebrated.[2]
  • It is only natural to suppose that as the two families were thus allied it was through the influence of the Kirkbys that Thornborough obtained the living. We get some little information about this vicar from a case heard in the Duchy Court in 6th Elizabeth [1563-4], from which it appears that William Fleetwood, as the Queen's Sergeant of the Duchy, by indenture dated at Westminster 1st April, 1st Elizabeth [1559], granted a lease to Edward Williams, gent., of five acres of land called Michell Turley and Little Turley, in Claughton, then in the occupation of John Blackburn, and afterwards sold to Anthony White ; but at the instigation of William Kirkby and George Kirkby, gentlemen, John Blackburn re-entered, and tried by force to keep possession. This was the case for the plaintiff. The defence was that long before the Queen's lease was executed Michael Thornborough, clarke, late vicar of St. Michaels, and other persons, were seised of the said lands, and by their deed dated 8th April, 28th Henry VIII. [1534], granted them to William Kirkby, Esq., for 60 years, at an annual rental of six shillings. The rejoinder to this is that the lands were part of the dissolved chantry[3] (see p. 59). In a bill dated 13th August, 3rd Edward VI. [1549], relative to the purchase from the King of part of the parsonage lands of St. Michaels, Thornborough is mentioned as

  • John Kirkby (son and heir of William) died in 1505 (see p. 60), and Margaret his widow married, before 1st Henry VIII. [1509-10], Robert Butler of Middle Rawcliffe, as in that year the question of dower was in dispute, and she is described as late wife of John Kirkby, father of William Kirkby.[7] His son

  • and heir was William Kirkby, who married Elizabeth, daughter of Thomas Thornborow (see p. 112), in 1507. He probably died about 1550. He had issue : (1) John, died s.p. (2) George, died 13th August, 1558, seised of the manor of Rawcliffe and fourteen messuages and land in Tatham and Goosnargh ;[1] he was married but had no issue ; his widow Ellen afterwards married Edward Horsfall ; in 1567 an agreement was come to for extinguishing her dower.[2] (3) William, of whom presently.
