: Villiers of Brokesby Brooksby, Villiers of Howthorpe
| Although various earlier family members have been identified, the first known to be ancestor of this family was the following Alexander. Visitation, which spells the family name as "Villers", shows him as father of John a 1277 father of Sir George & John who by Joane Symon was father of Alexander of Brokesby father of Robert, William & John who was father of Richard father by Elizabeth of John father of the William who married Joane Bellers. We follow Collins which leaves us uncertain where for example Sir George fitted in. | |||||||||||||||
