Norris: Norreys of Bray, Norreys Norris of Davyhume Hall, Norreys of Penwortham, Norreys / Noreis or Norres of Speke, Norreys Norreis or Noreis of Sutton
No27=25. Related to Hugo le Noreis Norensis of Noricus de Blacrod d 1223, to whose son Hugo he was kinsman and heir male, was ...
No26=24. Alane le Noreis of Sutton a 1230
No25=23. Alane le Noreis of Sutton b about 1220 d a 1250, bailiff of Halton
BP1934 differs from Ormerod which we follow not least because of the additional detail he provides. BP1934 shows this Alan as father of Sir Henry father rather than brother of his successor Alan father rather than brother of his successor Henry father of Thomas father of William of Sutton who is reported as having acquired the manor of Speke by marriage with Joan, dau of Sir John Molyneux of Sefton. William & Joan are shown by BP1934 to have been parents of Sir Henry father of the Sir John who married Katherine Balderstone.
