Research notes
✓ DOCUMENTED (WikiTree/History of Parliament; web-confirmed 7 Aug 2026): m. Ellen Grendon; son of John Burley of Broncroft (MP). The wider Burley house of Shropshire/Herefordshire (incl. Sir Simon Burley KG and Sir John Burley KG) is a documented onward vein worth a later pass. Added 7 Aug 2026 (Burley tie follow-up). Direct-ancestor line only.
