Thomas de Osbaldeston

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.

Thomas Osbaldeston, eldest son of Geoffrey, succeeded his father, and by the death of Thomas Molyneux, his grandmother's brother, in December 1387, became heir to the manor of Cuerdale. (fn. 42) In or before March 1406 he demised this manor to Robert Radcliffe, younger son of William Radcliffe of the Tower, who had married his grandmother Katherine after the death of her second husband Thomas Banastre. (fn. 43) She had been first married as far back as 1336, and must have been near eighty years of age at this time. That she died soon after this date is evident from the fact that her third husband's son and heir was born in or before 1415. (fn. 44) Thomas Osbaldeston married before 1406 Alice, by whom he had Geoffrey his heir and John, and died soon after. (fn. 45)
