Wow, thanks, Adrian. What an amazingly detailed will, with so many
relationships spelled out in full!

If only they were all like this...

Cheers, Michael

I can illuminate a bit on who is Dorothy , daughter of Joan, and wife
of Edmund Huddleston.

Joan Farrington married twice, her first husband was Henry Beconsaw
and by him she had a daughter Dorothy who married Edmund Huddleston.

Joan Farrington in turn was the daughter of William Farrington by his
wife Isabel Clayton who afterwards married Nicholas Butler (Botiler)
and had two more daughters by him Elizabeth and Ellen.

Isabel Clayton was one of two co-heiresses of her own father John
Clayton by his wife Elizabeth Langton.

Now now we run into those pesky Langton's again.
Five stars for who can correctly place this Elizabeth Langton.

I should add that this William Farrington was the son of Sir Henry
Farrington who himself was the son of that Sir William Farrington who
died in or about 1501
