Visitation ends with this generation. The following comes from VCH Shropshire, vol 11, Madeley - Manor and other estates and comerfordfamily.blogspot.com. However, whilst VCH suggests that Madeley passed from this Thomas d 1675 to his grandson Basil, who dsp 1699, and then to Basil's cousin Comberford Brooke of Comberford, the comerfordfamily site shows Comberford as son of Thomas, the son/heir of Sir Basil who was executed in 1646. Noting the dates when this Thomas's sisters were married, we suspect that the Thomas who married Anne Comberford was not son but grandson of Sir Basil and so show the succession as follows: | |||||||||||||||
