Willoughby04: Willoughby of Grendon, Willoughby of Risley, Willoughby of Willoughby Nottinghamshire, Willoughby of Wollaton

This family took its name from Willoughby in Nottinghamshire. Noting that the following Ralph had a younger son called Ralph Bugge of Bingham see below, it is thought likely that he was related same person? as the Ralph Bouge of Bingham shown on Temp43.

Wi24. Ralph Bugge or Bogg

Wi23. Richard Bugge of Willoughby

The above is as in BEB1841. But the visitation shows that the father of the following Sir Richard was William Willoughby of Willoughby.

Wi22. Sir Richard de Willoughby of Willoughby and Wollaton d 1325-6

Wi21 Sir Richard or Robert Willoughby of Willoughby and Wollaton judge

Visitation shows only one marriage for Sir Richard, identifying his wife and mother of his successor Richard as Isabell Mortein. BEB1841 names him as Sir Robert and identifies Isabel Mortein as his first wife by whom he had "several sons, who all died without issue". BEB1841 becomes rather obscure hereafter, implying that there is some doubt on the succession, but indicates that there were several generations between this Robert/Richard and the father it names as Henry of the Henry who married Elen Egerton. We follow Visitation except to suggest that Sir Richard's successor may have been by a later wife the wives named below being found on a web site.

BEB1841 reports that the father of Johanna Strelley who married Sir Hugh was Sir Nicholas. Visitation identifies Sir Hugh's wife as ...

m Jane Strelley dau of Sir William Strelley of Strelley

i Sir Henry Willoughby

BEB1841 shows Sir Henry, Baronet of Risley, as son of Johanna Strelley by Sir Hugh son of William dvp, son of Sir Henry by Ellen Egerton. Although Sir Henry might have purchased Risley from his kinsman Sir Henry below, we suspect that BEB1841 has confused this Sir Henry with the Sir Henry of Risley shown below. However Visitation may also be mistaken as it describes Sir Henry as "of Wollaton Knt. & Baronett". Unfortunately it does not show if he married and had issue. We presume that the Sir Henry of Risley below was the baronet.

1 Sir Henry Willoughby, Bart of Risley b c1579, d 20.11.1649

As noted above, there is confusion as to the ancestry of the Sir Henry who became Baronet of Risley. Noting that BEB1841 shows that the Sir Henry who was created baronet in 1611 after the date of the Visitation married Elizabeth Knowles, we presume even though the Visitation shows the other Sir Henry above as a baronet that he fitted here, given that Visitation shows that this Sir Henry married Elizabeth Knowles. The dates and details of their children come from BEB1841.
