William Dalyson, of Scotney

William Dalison (died 1546) of Laughton in the parish of Lindsey, Lincolnshire, was Sheriff of Lincolnshire in 1546 and Escheator of Lincolnshire.

He married Anne Wastneys, a daughter of George Wastneys of Haddon in Nottinghamshire,[1] by whom he had at least two sons and one daughter:

1. George Dalison (d.20 June 1549), eldest son and heir. He married Isabel Hopkinson[2] and was the ancestor of the Dalison baronets, of Laughton (created in 1611 and 1624), namely Sir Roger Dalison, 1st Baronet (c. 1562 – 1620), Lieutenant-General of the Ordnance, and his son Sir Thomas Dalison, 1st Baronet (died 1645) who had to reapply for a new creation of the baronetcy as a clerical error was discovered in the register of baronets.
2. Sir William Dalison (died 1559), a judge who served as a Member of Parliament for Lincolnshire in 1553. As he instructed in his will, he was buried in Lincoln Cathedral under a "tomb which bears a picture of him wearing his robes of justice".[1]
3. Anne Dalison, wife of Edward Tyrwhitt, son of Philip Tyrwhitt (c.1510-1558), of Barton-upon-Humber, Lincolnshire, a Member of Parliament for Lincolnshire in 1554
