Person:William Stanley (44)

William (II) de Stanley; Lord of Manor and Bailiwick of Wyrall (modern Wirral) Forest; went to law with the Prior of Trentham, Staffs 1292/3 over land in Over Elkeston, Staffs; married 27 Sep 1282 Joan (living 1326), eldest daughter and coheir of Philip de Baumville, hereditary Forester of Wirral, by Agnes, daughter and coheir of Alexander de Storeton (cognate? with Stourton, Staffs) by Anabilla, daughter and heir of Ranulph de Silvester, son of Allan Silvester, Lord of Storeton. [Burke's Peerage]

Note: I count three different Storeton's/Stourton's in the above text. No wonder Burke's entitles the next few generations as "Lord of Storeton or Stourton etc.". It is hard to sort out the different Storeton/Stourton places. It is a case of TOO MANY STORETON/STOURTONs.

Following copied from Dave Utzinger, World Connect db=utzing, rootsweb.com: Which appears to be a quotation from the "Complete Peerage".

WILLIAM DF STANLEY, son and heir. In 1292-93 he sued the Prior of Trentham for land and wood in Over Elkeston, Staffs, of which he claimed that the Prior had unjustly disseised Master John de Stanley, his uncle, whose heir he was; in the same year, with Joan his wife, he brought proceedings for breach of an agreement whereby he had conceded a wood to William de Bagenholt in return for a site for a mill. He married, 27 September 1282, Joan, eldest daughter and coheir of Philip DE BAUMVILE, at the church of Astbury, co. Chester, at a banquet given by his uncle, Master John de Stanley, rector of Astbury. [CP 12[1]:247]
