(2) She [Cecily Massey] and Geoffrey de Osbaldeston, her second husband, were to take charge of the land and the heir, viz. Henry son and heir of Sir John, and half the manor of Speke (the Norreys part). Should Henry die while a minor they were to have charge of his sister Katherine, paying to Roger or his executors 25 marks of silver and an additional 10 marks within six months from Henry's death, supposing that Katherine should in that event be living and under 14 years of age ; Norris D.

64 Some Notes on the Family of Osbaldeston PDF page 6

Alexander married Katharine, daughter of Thomas de Molyneux of the Edge, Sefton, before 1336. More will be said of this marriage afterwards. But it was a beginning of a series of connections between the families which con- tinued for nearly two centuries. The issue of this union was Geoffrey de Osbaldeston, who married Cecily, daughter of Sir John Norreys, in 1379.

Geoffrey Osbaldeston was succeeded by Thomas, aged 29 in 1412.

'Townships: Osbaldeston', in A History of the County of Lancaster: Volume 6, ed. William Farrer and J Brownbill (London, 1911), pp. 319-325. British History Online http://www.british-history.ac.uk/vch/lancs/vol6/pp319-325 [accessed 14 February 2021]. The only issue of Alexander de Osbaldeston and Katherine de Molyneux was a son Geoffrey. In 1380, at the instance of the Duke of Lancaster, he and Thomas de Molyneux, his maternal uncle, were pardoned for certain offences wherewith they stood charged. (fn. 34) He married in 1357 Margaret daughter of William, whose surname has not been ascertained, (fn. 35) but it is uncertain if the marriage was consummated, as he subsequently married Cecily, probably daughter of Sir John le Norreys, kt. (fn. 36) 36. She was co-executrix in 1375 with Nicholas le Norreys of Sir John's will; De Banco R. 459, m. 10. The same year her husband was defendant in a plea brought by William de Charnock touching lands in Speke; ibid. m. 49.
