It is really something to sing and dance about.
Dig up those old bones and get them dancing!

Change the two party system
so people against something like abortion
but for something like environmental protection never again get bigger and badder storms
and two bankrupting wars instead.

Meynell

Menill/Meinill of Hilton, Mesnil/Menil of Langley Mesnil/Menil, Meinill of Whorlton
  According to BLG1952, Nichol's 'History of Leicestershire' suggests that descended from Hugo de Grente Mesnil was ...  ((i))
identified by TCP as "the first member of this family in England of whom there is record"
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
BE1883 suggests that this Stephen predeceased his father but the dates given by TCP, which we follow, disagree. 
 
 
 
  p. Lucy de Thweng (b 24.03.1278/9, dau of Robert de Thweng of Kilton) 
 
m. Alice de Ros (d before 04.07.1344, dau of William de Ros of Helmsley, Lord Ros of Hamlake) 
 
  m1. (c1344/5) John Darcy, Lord (b 1317, d 1356)
  m2. (before 18.11.1356) Sir Piers de Mauley, Lord (b by 1330, d 19/20.03.1382/3) 
  Possibly also an illegitimate child of Nicholas was ... 
 
 
 
  m. Catherine de Percy (d 11.05.1345, dau of Arnald or William de Percy of Kildale) 
 
 
 
 
  Walter de Boynton (dsp 1388) 
  m3. (c1364) John de Percy of Kildale
 
  m. John de Everingham 
 
 
 
  m. Sewallis de Shirley (a 1167, son of Henry) 
 
  This connection is provided by BLG1952 but it should be noted that, after referring to various cadet families of Worlton, TCP reports "There appears to be no documentary evidence to show that the Meinills of Langley Meinill, co. Derby, were similarly connected. They were descended from Hugh de Meinill, living circa 1251, steward of William de Ferrers, Earl of Derby". 
 
 
 
 
 
  m1. Alice Bassett (dau of Ralph Bassett, Lord of Drayton) 
 
 
 
 
  possibly Sir Thomas of Amington
 
  m. Roger (sb John?) Dethick
 
  m. Reginald Dethick 
  William Meynell of Yeaveley, Derbyshire (d 1402) 
  Hugo appears also to have married ... 
  m2. Alice de Audley (dau of Nicholas de Audley, 1st Lord) mother of ... 
 
 
 
  m3. (1369) Sir Gerard de Braybrooke (b c1332, d 01.02.1403) 
 
  The following connection is distinctly presumptuous. Hugh is not mentioned by BLG1952 as another son of Robert of Whorlton but TCP reports that the Meinills of Hilton were a cadet of the Meinills of Whorlton and that they were descended from him. Commoners starts with the reporting that "Sometime in the twelfth century, Walter de Mainill had a grant from his brother, Roger de Hilton, of lands, in Snotterdon." The dates indicate that there could not have been many generations between Hugh and Roger & Walter.
