Family Tree Maker Descendants of Lydulph (Liulf) de Aldithley Generation No. 1 1. LYDULPH (LIULF)1 DE ALDITHLEY was born Bef. 1066 in Aldithley, Normandy, and died Aft. 1130 in Staffordshire, England. Notes for LYDULPH (LIULF) DE ALDITHLEY: Was the first member of the Audley family to appear in official records. He was the freehold tenant of the Manors of Aldithley and Balterley in Staffordshire. Children of LYDULPH (LIULF) DE ALDITHLEY are: 2. i. LYDULPH FITZ LIULF2 DE ALDITHLEY, b. 1115. 3. ii. ADAM DE STANLEIGH, b. 1125, Staffordshire, England; d. 1200, Staffordshire, England. iii. RALF FITZ LIULF DE ALDITHLEY. Generation No. 2 2. LYDULPH FITZ LIULF2 DE ALDITHLEY (LYDULPH (LIULF)1) was born 1115. Children of LYDULPH FITZ LIULF DE ALDITHLEY are: 4. i. ADAM3 DE ALDITHLEY, b. 1135, Staffordshire, England; d. 1211, Staffordshire, England. ii. LIULF DE ALDITHLEY. iii. ROGER DE ALDITHLEY. iv. MARGERY DE ALDITHLEY. 3. ADAM2 DE STANLEIGH (LYDULPH (LIULF)1 DE ALDITHLEY) was born 1125 in Staffordshire, England, and died 1200 in Staffordshire, England. Notes for ADAM DE STANLEIGH: Adam de Stanleigh was born circa 1125, and was the brother (or brother in law) of Lydulph de Aldithley, who was born circa 1115. They were both thanes (the early equivalent to knights) and they held the freehold tenancies of their respective estates in Staffordshire from the Norman De Verdun family by socage, i.e. military service, which required them to defend their Overlord and his possessions. Lydulph held Aldithley and Balterley, whereas Adam held Talk on the Hill. It is unlikely that either held a surname during their actual lifetime. Surnames were introduced into England by the Normans, but they were still rare at the time of the Great Survey in 1086, when only the more important barons used them. These surnames were generally derived from their Normandy estates. The minor barons and knightly families began adopting surnames during the 12th century and these were generally derived from their new English estates. 1 Children of ADAM DE STANLEIGH are: 5. i. WILLIAM3 DE STANLEIGH, b. 1170, Staffordshire, England; d. 1236, Staffordshire, England. ii. ADAM DE STANLEIGH, b. 1171. iii. THOMAS DE STANLEIGH, b. 1172. iv. RICHARD DE STANLEIGH, b. 1173. Generation No. 3 4. ADAM3 DE ALDITHLEY (LYDULPH FITZ LIULF2, LYDULPH (LIULF)1) was born 1135 in Staffordshire, England, and died 1211 in Staffordshire, England. He married EMMA. Notes for ADAM DE ALDITHLEY: He appears to have been the first member of his family to have used the surname 'de Aldithley' in official documents, when in 1155 and again in 1160 he witnessed Charters of his Overlord, Bertram de Verdun. His two brothers, Liulf and Roger, still continued to sign themselves as 'Liulf fitz Liulf' and 'Roger fitz Liulf' respectively, when they witnessed Charters in 1160-1202. In 1184 and 1185, Adam de Aldithley succeeded Bertram de Verdun as Sheriff of Warwickshire and Leiscestershire. When Bertram de Verdun departed for the Crusades in 1190 with Richard I, as special evidence of his favor, granted the Manor of Stanleigh to Adam de Aldithley. During the latter part of his life, Adam decided to rearrange his estates by granting to his cousin, William (the son of his uncle, Adam de Stanleigh), all the Manor of Stanleigh and half of the Manor of Balterley in exchange for his cousin's tenancy of the Manor on Talk of the Hill. Thus it was that the two separate lines began, with the Audleys at Aldithley and the Stanleys at Stanleigh. Children of ADAM DE ALDITHLEY and EMMA are: i. ADAM4 DE ALDITHLEY. ii. HENRY DE ALDITHLEY. iii. WILLIAM DE ALDITHLEY. iv. LUCAS DE ALDITHLEY. v. ISABEL DE ALDITHLEY. 5. WILLIAM3 DE STANLEIGH (ADAM2, LYDULPH (LIULF)1 DE ALDITHLEY) was born 1170 in Staffordshire, England, and died 1236 in Staffordshire, England. Notes for WILLIAM DE STANLEIGH: The eldest son, succeeded to his father's Manor of Talk on the Hill, and to the manor of Bagnall, near Leek, which had been passed to his father by Adam de Aldithley. (Talk on the Hill was one of three manors held by Gamel, a Saxon Thane at the time of the Domesday Book of 1086.) After the death of his father, his cousin, Adam de Aldithley, wished to rearrange his estates by exchanging his Manor of Stanleigh (which was near William's Manor of Bagnall), and half of the Manor of Balterley, for William's Manor on Talk on the Hill, (which adjoined Adam's Manor of Aldithley). The Manors concerned were all held from the De Verduns, and their exchange had to 2 have the Overlord's consent. Since Stanleigh was an additional tenancy held by special favor, Adam de Aldithley proposed that if that Manor could not be warranted, he an his heirs would give as much in value to William and his heirs. Stanleigh would be held by William from Adam de Aldithley for a yearly rent of 12 pence. A Charter was arranged and the Manor of Stanleigh passed to William. He now being in possession, he adopted the surname "de Stanleigh" and thus became the ancestor of the House of Stanley. He used the surname when he witnessed the Charter in 1203 as "William de Stanle". Adam de Aldithley and William de Stanleigh were the first members of their respective families to use surnames in official documents. It is highly unlikely that their respective fathers, Lydulph de Aldithley and Adam de Stanleigh, possessed surnames during their actual lifetimes. Children of WILLIAM DE STANLEIGH are: 6. i. WALTER4 DE STANLEIGH, b. 1215, Staffordshire, England; d. 1285, Staffordshire, England. ii. JOHN DE STANLEIGH, b. 1220, Staffordshire, England; d. 1288, Cheshire, England. Notes for JOHN DE STANLEIGH: He took Holy Orders and rose to the distinction of Magister. Nothing is known of his early clerical career, but between 1265 and 1267, he was presented to the important and valuable living of Astbury in Cheshire, by the Abbot of Chester. He was said to have been a special friend of Simon, the Abbot of St. Werburgh, and he occurs frequently in the Abbey Records until his death in 1288. It was John who conducted the marriage of his nephew William to Joan de Bamville in 1282 at Astbury Church. Generation No. 4 6. WALTER4 DE STANLEIGH (WILLIAM3, ADAM2, LYDULPH (LIULF)1 DE ALDITHLEY) was born 1215 in Staffordshire, England, and died 1285 in Staffordshire, England. Notes for WALTER DE STANLEIGH: Succeeded to his fathers estates. He first appeared in official records in 1256. In 1270 he is shown as the tenant of the Manor of Stanleigh, paying a rent of 12 pence per year to the Audleys. Children of WALTER DE STANLEIGH are: 7. i. WILLIAM5 DE STANLEIGH, b. 1250, Staffordshire, England; d. 1324, Staffordshire, England. ii. BENEDICT DE STANLEIGH, b. 1255. Generation No. 5 7. WILLIAM5 DE STANLEIGH (WALTER4, WILLIAM3, ADAM2, LYDULPH (LIULF)1 DE ALDITHLEY) was born 1250 in Staffordshire, England, and died 1324 in Staffordshire, England. He married JOAN DE BAMVILLE. Notes for WILLIAM DE STANLEIGH: The marriage of William to Joan has become one of Cheshire's legends. The story relates that Sir Phillip and his wife Lettice, 3 were being entertained at a banquet given at Stourton in Cheshire. A marriage had been arranged for Joan (who was her father's heir) with the son of his wife (who was Joan's stepmother). She had no liking for that marriage, and while the festivities were at their height, she slipped out of the Hall to where William de Stanleigh was waiting with saddled horses. Together they galloped to Astbury where they were wed in the Church by William's uncle, John de Stanleigh, William saying: "Joan, I plight thee my troth to take and hold thee as my lawful wife until my life's end," and she replying, "I, Joan, take thee William, as my lawful husband." In 1284, on the death of his wife's father, William de Stanleigh acquired the hereditary office of Master Forester of Wirral together with the Manor of Stourton and the bailiwick of Wirral. In 1306 and 1307, he is mentioned as Hereditary Forester of Wirral. In the year 1316, by grant of Edward II, he assumed the Armorial Bearings, viz. 'Arg, on a bend asure, three Stags Head, cabossed, Or', in place of those previously borne by his ancestors. These arms are carried by his descendants to this day. Children of WILLIAM DE STANLEIGH and JOAN DE BAMVILLE are: 8. i. JOHN6 DE STANLEIGH, b. 1285, Staffordshire, England; d. 1346, Staffordshire, England. ii. ADAM DE STANLEIGH, b. 1286, Staffordshire, England; d. 1349, Stourton, England. iii. THOMAS DE STANLEIGH, d. 1346. iv. SARAH DE STANLEIGH. Generation No. 6 8. JOHN6 DE STANLEIGH (WILLIAM5, WALTER4, WILLIAM3, ADAM2, LYDULPH (LIULF)1 DE ALDITHLEY) was born 1285 in Staffordshire, England, and died 1346 in Staffordshire, England. He married EMMA (? LATHOM) 1310. Notes for JOHN DE STANLEIGH: Succeeded to his father's estate in 1324. He served in the French Wars with distinction, and was the favorite of Edward III. In 1310, John's father had granted him the Manor of Stanleigh and Over Elkston in Staffordshire as part of a marriage settlement. Children of JOHN DE STANLEIGH and EMMA LATHOM) are: 9. i. WILLIAM7 DE STANLEIGH, b. 1311, Staffordshire, England; d. 1360, Staffordshire, England. ii. JOHN DE STANLEIGH, b. 1312. Notes for JOHN DE STANLEIGH: Ancestor to the Stanleys of Dalegarth and Ponsby Hall. Generation No. 7 4 9. WILLIAM7 DE STANLEIGH (JOHN6, WILLIAM5, WALTER4, WILLIAM3, ADAM2, LYDULPH (LIULF)1 DE ALDITHLEY) was born 1311 in Staffordshire, England, and died 1360 in Staffordshire, England. He married CECILY CONGLETON.

PROBLEMSIt has been given to the peoples of Britain to evolve out of chaos a unified system of defensive force which shall serve as a shield to cover widely separated parts of the Empire. It is a task that, like all our tasks, we have been dilatory in beginning. In the latter half of the nineteenth century there was desultory discussion of the sub- ject. At intervals for the next three decades Colonial Conferences talked around the sub- ject in an academic way and passed resolu- tions. It was not all talk, however. Things were done : but the doing was spasmodic, the efforts were not co-ordinated. Local considerations dictated policies and not the best needs of the whole Imperial system. In 1892 Admiral Penrose Fitzgerald wrote in this connection : '* War would doubtless bring about federa- tion immediately.'' 7 8 THE IMPERIAL BRITISH NAVY It is in the hope that such naval federation is at hand, and that it will be achieved with the consent of the several States forming the Empire, that this book has been written.

Mr Keating’s immense capacity for the necessary research along with the Chairman’s endorsement and encouragement for the project was realised through the generosity of member Nicholas and Lynne Gould. The book was received in to the Club on the occasion of a commemorative service at St James’s Church, Piccadilly in September 2014 to mark the centenary of the outbreak of the First World War. Second World War members were researched and added in 2016 along with the appendices, which highlights some of the episodes and influences that involved our members in both conflicts. In October 2016, along with over 190 other organisations representing clubs, livery companies and the military, the club contributed a flagstone of our crest to the gardens of remembrance at the National Memorial Arboretum in Staffordshire. First published in 2014 by the East India Club.

Chatham Publishing 2006. 192 pp. index, line illustrations ISBN 1-86176-288-2 A Naval Life: The Edited Diaries and Papers of Admiral John Locke Marx 1852- 1939, ed. Mary Jones, Persona Press, Somerset (Distributed by Gazelle Book Services Limited, Hightown, White Cross Mills, South Road, LANCASHIRE LA1 4XS UK) January 2007. xiv & 281 pp. illustrations. ISBN 978-0-9553095-0-2, £15.99 pb Reviewed by Dr. Andrew Lambert King’s College London What was life really like in the navies of Nelson and Victoria? What did officers leave out of their letters home and their published memoirs? James Lowry and John Marx went to sea at either end of the nineteenth century. The first, a young Irish medical student, used the Navy and the Napoleonic wars to make his way in an expensive profession, and saw a good deal of the Mediterranean in the process. The second, the great grandson of a German Jewish doctor, had a long and successful career that demonstrated just how easily immigrants were absorbed into the British elite. The written remains of these two men repay study because they were never intended for publication. In contrast to the pious platitudes that usually pass for memoirs they record life in the round. Lacking the obvious professional interest in ships and seafaring Lowry spends most of his time recounting the delights of his various runs ashore, and his amorous adventures. Marx found relief from the demands of his career with the denizens of an altogether older trade, and left a clear reminder of the fact in his journal.

  • Some Stanley Heraldic Glass from Worden Hall, Lancashire
    SOME STANLEY HERALDIC GLASS FROM WORDEN HALL, LANCASHIRE BY F. A. BAILEY, M.A. Read 6 October 1949 TTERALDRY, by which we understand the bearing of distinctive JTl hereditary personal markings or emblems on shield, surcoat or otherwise, originated during the twelfth century, and for a long time one simple coat-of-arms, with any necessary marks of difference, sufficed to identify the individual bearer. But with the enlargement of many families, the failure of male lines of others, and marriages, particularly of heiresses, a tendency developed, first to group together a number of shields relating to some individual person, and secondly to display more than one coat-of-arms on the same shield, by inescutcheon, impalement or quartering. The last-named practice developed steadily throughout the fifteenth century, and in the sixteenth attained sometimes extravagant proportions, as when, for example, some enthusiastic herald designed a Stanley shield with no fewer than ninety quarterings. 111 It has long been a belief, in which so great an authority as J. H. Round concurred, <2) that the original Stanley coat (argent on a bend azure 3 stags' heads cabossed or) may have owed its three stags' heads to a fortunate marriage with an heiress, Joan, daughter of Philip de Bamvile, in the late thirteenth century; this was, in Round's estimation, "the turning point in the history of the family," for Joan brought to the Stanleys (hitherto of Staffordshire) the lordship of Storeton and the hereditary office of Master Forester of Wirral in Cheshire. As is well known, the Lancashire house of Stanley, Earls of Derby, became established in this county through the marriage of Sir John Stanley, second son of Sir William Stanley of Storeton, with Isabel, daughter of Sir Thomas Lathom, in 1385.
