His son Roger became 1st Viscount Ranelagh (collateral). Father of Jane (our line). Direct ancestor.

Confirmed the same person - Archbishop of Dublin 1605-19, Lord Chancellor of Ireland, d.1619, father of Jane who m. Henry Piers of Tristernagh and of Roger, 1st Viscount Ranelagh - and merged into this record; @I100219@ and its family @F99962@ deleted.
