• Roland Threlkeld is said to have been founder of the College of Kirkoswald and Dacre. Its suppression within, comparatively, a few years must have been regarded by him with peculiar feelings of bitterness and indignation, for he must have been a benefactor, if only so far as to convert the Rectory into a fitting habitation for the few priests who were to fulfill the duties ; and that this building was secularised is proved by its present existence as the seat of the Fetherstonhaugh family. Roland, however, from his various rectories accumulated, as his Will evidences, a goodly amount of worldly gear.
• A sister of Humphrey, Richard, and Roland, named Margaret, became the wife of Thomas Bellasis of Henknoll, Durham, who, it appears, (Mis. 17.) died in 1499, leaving several children, the eldest son being about eleven years old. She afterwards married one Simpson, whom I suppose to have been the Robert Simpson named in a pedigree of Hutton of Hunswicke (Mis. 18.) as of Henknoll ; which, if it were he who married the widow, he very likely might be during the minority of the heir. I am much inclined to think after a careful study of the Will of Richard Bellasis, dated Sept. 25th, 1539, and proved July 11th, 1540, and that of his brother Anthony dated Aug. 10, 1552, and proved Sept. 5, of the same year, that Margaret had children by both husbands. The sons, of course, were issue of the first marriage, but I am unable to fix the parentage of the daughters. I would have liked to give the two Wills I mention for they are, especially Anthony's, of great interest and have never been published, but I cannot ask for space for them in a Threlkeld paper. The children I embody in the Pedigree Sheet. .... etc.

• 7. In a pedigree of Bellasis it is stated that Margaret Threlkeld was a daughter of a Lancelot Threlkeld of Melmerby, who, it, is assumed, was that Sir Lancelot of Yanwath who was certainly one of the escort who accompanied the Princess Margaret when she went to Scotland to become the wife of James IV.*

  • 1. Henry Threlkeld or Thirkeld of Threlkeld (d 1452)
  • Visitation (Yorkshire, 1584/5, Vaughan of Sutton) starts with this Henry but does not identify his wife. Visitation (Yorkshire, 1563-4, Lomley) shows that the Sir Lancelot who married Margaret Bromflete was son of Henry by Maud, dau of Sir John Lomley, sister of Lord George who m. Elsabeth Thornton. That Visitation is not consistent with what we show for the Lumley family on Lumley02, apparently mixing-up various generations. Accordingly, we provisionally follow those web sites which show the mother of Lancelot as ...

Nevertheless, the Lancelot who married Margaret Bromflete is identified as the father of at least those daughters. However, Visitation (Yorkshire, 1584/5, Vaughan of Sutton) shows Grace as of the next generation
