The About Me needs a review, it shows
"Elizabeth of CLIFTON was born in 1473 in , Lancaster, England, Great Britain. She has Ancestral File Number 9FG2-BM"

It goes on to say

"Elizabeth Clifton was just eleven years old when she married her first husband Richard Hesketh, who was the king's attorney for the County Palatine, a middle aged man. Her father had died two years earlier in 1512 and she became a ward of the Crown, as was customary for a child heiress. "

If her father died in 1512 it means she married in 1514, if she was eleven years old it means she was born in 1503

It went on to say
"Richard Hesketh died in 1520 when Elizabeth was just seventeen."

Again further proof she was born in 1503

Should we remove ""Elizabeth of CLIFTON was born in 1473 in , Lancaster, England, Great Britain. She has Ancestral File Number 9FG2-BM

The ancestral file is not a very good source. :(. But it's the only one I see listed in the profile.

Carole (Erickson) Pomeroy,Vol. Curator could i prevail on you to take a look?

Well, Anne Standish has probably got the wrong maiden name (Clifton).

From the 4 references for Sir Cuthbert Halsall, MP , Anne & Henry Halsall do not seem to be Cuthbert's parents.

Here are some references I have found, the dates vary, I don't think some are much help. I will post them on the relevant profiles.

17—109. Sir William Molyneux, a great commander in the Co. Lancaster; b. 1433, d. 1548. William Molyneux led a considerable force to serve in 1513, under his cousin Sir Richard Stanley at Flodden Field, where he took with his own hand two Scottish banners and the Earl of Huntley's arms. For this service he was personally thanked in a letter by Henry VIII. Sir William brought a considerable strength to the seasonable succor of the Duke of Norfolk, with whom he performed signal service at the battle of Flodden Field. He married Jane, dau. to Sir Richard Rugge (sometimes Rugg, — Riggs) of Rugg, in Co. Stafford; m. 2d, Elizabeth, dau. of Cuthbert Clifton, in Lanc. ; widow of Sir Richard Heskeith, Knight of Ruf-

ford, in Co. Lanc., and became in consequence Lord of Clifton. Sir William was a gallant Knight in the reign of Henry III, and displayed great bravery. On his death-bed he gave this advice to his son, "Let the underwood grow ; the tenants are the support of the family, and the commonality are the strength of a kingdom. Improve this fairly; but force not violently either your bounds or your rents above your fathers. He died 1548 and was buried at Sefton Church, where there is a monument and a eulogistic Latin inscription to his memory. Knighted at Flodden Field in 1513 and given a tiger passant proper on a crown or, for his crest.

Sir William Molyneux (1483-1548), son of Sir Thomas, by his wife Anne, daughter and coheir of Sir Thomas Dutton, led a considerable force to serve in 1513 under his cousin Sir Edward Stanley at Flodden Field, where he took with his own hands two Scottish banners and the Earl of Huntly's arms; for this service he was personally thanked in a letter by Henry VIII. He joined Derby's Salley expedition in 1536 (GAIRDNER, Letters and Papers, ii. 1251), and died in 1548, aged 65, being buried in Sefton Church, where there is a monument and eulogistic Latin inscription to his memory. He was twice married, and his son Richard by his first wife, Jane, only daughter and heir of Richard Rydge or Rugge of Ridge, Shropshire, was knighted at Mary's accession in 1553, served as sheriff of Lancashire in 1566, and died in 1569. He also was twice married, and by his first wife, Eleanor, daughter of Sir Alexander Radcliffe, was father of William, who predeceased him in 1567, and grandfather of Richard Molyneux created baronet in 1611, who was father of Richard first viscount Maryborough .... etc.

PAGE 7. "Mr. Heskethe."] Richard Hesketh was a member of a Lancashire family not unknown either to history or heraldry. He was the second son of Robert Hesketh of Rufford Esq. and of Alice his wife, daughter of Sir Robert Booth of Dunham Massey Knt. and niece in half blood of Lawrence Booth, Archbishop of York and Lord Chancellor, whose birth was not obscure, and whose merits were various. See Campbell's Lives of Lord Chancellors, vol. i. p. 389. Baines states (vol. iii. p. 427) that the Hesketh pedigree has been 'evidently drawn up with great care," and yet implies that Richard Hesketh's mother was not Alice Booth, (p. 426,) an altogether unwarranted implication. Nor is this the only erroneous statement in the pedigree, Richard Hesketh being there recorded as the husband of Grace, daughter of John Towneley of Towneley, whereas he married Elizabeth, daughter and heiress of Cuthburt Clifton of Clifton Esq. by his wife Alice, daughter and coheiress of Sir John Lawrence of Ashton Hall near Lancaster Knt. Having no issue by Richard Hesketh, whom she survived, she married secondly Sir William Molyneux of Sefton Knt. (a widower,) and had issue by him one son, who inherited her manor of Clifton, and two daughters. Grace, daughter of John Towneley, was the wife of Sir Robert Hesketh, the nephew of Richard here named;; whilst Thomas Hesketh, Richard's elder brother, married Grace, daughter of Sir Richard Towneley Knt. but had no child. — Harl. MS; Whitaker's Hist. of Whalley, p. 344 ; Maines, vol. iii. p. 428, Note; Lanc. MSS. vol. xii. Ped. Richard Hesketh belonged to a Lancastrian house, and being brought up to the law, was indebted for his promotion to the good offices of Margaret Countess of Richmond and Derby, the generous patroness of learned men. His influence in Lancashire was great, and his practice of the law profitable to himself, and it may be hoped not less so to

his clients, as his name frequently occurs in Lancashire evidences, in conjunction with Sir Anthony Fitzherbert, Lawyer Hawarden, and others. In 1506 he was engaged in the great suit respecting the will and subsequent proceedngs of the feoffees of Warden Huntington of Manchester College, (Not. Cestr. vol. ii. part i. p. 60,) and he was apponted an executor of the will of Thomas first Earl of Derby K.G. dated July 28th and proved November 9th 1504, being therein styled "a trusty servant" of that potent nobleman. His official connection with the Derby family also led to his appointment as an executor of the will of Thomas the second Earl, who died 23rd May 1521, along with his brothers Thomas Hesketh, of Rufford Esq., Hugh Hesketh, Bishop of Man, and others, who are called the Earl's "trusty friends," Cardinal Wolsey, the Lord Chancellor, and Hugh Oldham, Bishop of Exeter, being amongst the supervisors of the will — Testamenta Vetusta, vol. ii. pp. 460, 590. Richard Hesketh was appointed Attorney General of the Duchy of Lancaster by Henry VIII. and died in the year 1520, 12 Henry VIII. — Lanc. MSS. vol. iii.

There are issues with some of the children of Sir William Molyneux, Lord of Sefton & Clifton & his wives

Jane Molyneux supposedly died 1521 and some of the children are born after her death.
Eleanor Molyneux , John Molyneux, MP , Alice Molyneaux

Elizabeth Molyneux, of Clifton has children who were before she was married to William Molyneux, before his first wife was dead.
Lawrence Mollenaux , Thomas Molyneux, of Clifton

There is a son Thomas Molyneux but he would of been born later & is listed in Sir William Molyneux About as dying without issue.

I had no parents in my records for Thomas Molyneux, of Clifton husband of Cecilia Osbaldeston.

N.B.- In the Office copy several of the baptismal names are abbreviated, and Henry Halsall is named Harry.
The arms quartered by Molyneux in this Visitation are those of Dutton, brought in by the marriage of Sir Thomas Molyneux, father of Sir William, the first in this pedigree, with Anne, daughter and one of the heirs of Sir Thomas Dutton of Dutton, in the county of Chester.
This family represents two other lines of foreign blood, Gernet and Villers, all three located in Lancashire at, or soon after, the Norman Conquest.
William des Molines is said to have taken his title from a town of the Bourbonnois in France, and to have been originally seated at Ceffton [Sefton], from which the family take the title now borne by them as earls in the peerage of Ireland, created in 1771, and of barons of the United Kingdom, created in 1831.
The first hereditary titular distinction conferred on this family was a baronetcy in 1611, followed by the creation of Viscount Molineux of Maryborough, in the peerage of Ireland, in the person of Sir Richard Molineux in 1628.

.... The seventh and eighth quarters, viz., Clyfton, sable, on a bend argent, three mullets gules, and Lawrence, argent, a cross raguly gules, came in through the marriage of Henry, son of Thomas Halsall, with Anne, daughter to Sir William Molyneux, by his second wife, Elizabeth, daughter and coheiress of Cuthbert Clyfton of Clyfton, whose wife was the heiress of Sir John Lawrence. Anne was heir to her brother Thomas, son of Sir William Molyneux by this second marriage. (See her will, p. 143, pt. iii. of Wills and Inventories, vol. liv. of the Chetham series.) The next in descent to Henry, son of Thomas, was Richard, who, although married to Anne, daughter to Alexander Barlowe of Barlowe, does not appear to have left legitimate issue, for Richard's younger brother Edward, whose will is given (pt. ii., p. 214, vol. li. of the Chetham series), but who does not appear in the Visitations of 1567 and 1613, was evidently in possession of the estate of Halsall, in which he was succeeded by Cuthbert the natural son of Richard. This Cuthbert is named as alias Norres in the will of Anne, widow of Sir Henry. He married Dorothy, natural daughter to Henry fourth earl of Derby, and had two daughters only ; Anne married Thomas Clifton, son and heir of Cuthbert Clifton of Westby. Bridget had been contracted in her nonage to her kinsman Thomas

Halsall, but did not marry him. See Dugdale's Visitation 1665, where four generations are recorded of collaterals of this line seated at Melling, Aughton and Bickerstaff. Sir Cuthbert, father of these two ladies, sold Halsall to Sir Gilbert Gerard, Master of the Bolls.

Hi, Elizabeth Clifton born 1503. The info I have gathered in the last few days points to the fact that the geni tree around her is wrong. She had two sons the first died very young and Thomas the second died without issue. Elizabeth's grandchild who inherited her estate was Sir Cuthbert Halsall the son of Elizabeth's daughter Anne who married Henry Halsall.

Hi, Correction to previous message I have missed a generation Sir Cuthbert Halsall was Elizabeth's Great Grandson, Richard Halsall who married wife Anne Barlowe was Elizabeth's grandson.

There seems to have been more then one Cuthbert Halsall, also more then one Bartholmew Hesketh.

I will see if I can find more information for Bartholomew Hesketh & Ann Halsall.

Thanks

There are several references which have the lineage of Anne (Halsall) Clifton.
I have not been able to find any published references that tells which Cuthbert Halsall was the father of Ann (Halsall) Hesketh.

Can Geoff. Baines please give us some references to show which Cuthbert Halsall is the father of Anne Hesketh

Impossible for Anne/Ann Halsall to have been married to both men, the last child with Sir Thomas Clifton was born c. 1646. Thomas died 1657, and Anne in 1675, time for her to have married a 2nd time, but Bartholomew Hesketh & his wife had at least 3 children, one being born c. 1641 and he seems to have had a 2nd wife Alice Pilkington by which he had no issue.

Hi, Anne Halsall's father is Sir Cuthbert Halsall Of Clifton & Halsall. I will add a source in the profile page of Sir Cuthbert Halsall copied from a book called The Clifton Chronicle.

Please it was impossible that Anne Halsall to have married both Thomas Clifton & Bartholomew Hesketh.

I have unmerged the Anne Halsall's.

Geoff.

Just a reminder to please take over curating the profiles that I have been curating in this area...

William Molyneux, of Sefton needed his data conflicts resolved his birth date is in question, I have not seen it listed as an exact date just before before 1544, so I have edited this. He is listed as the son of Sir Richard Molyneux, Sheriff of Lancaster and Eleanor Radcliffe in several references.

I will see if I can find information for Alice Prescott & James Prescott , his dates do not look to good as is, stated lived to be (120-128), I don't think so.

There is a Alice listed as Sir Richard Molyneux, Sheriff of Lancaster and Eleanor Radcliffe daughter, but her dates are b. 1531 - d. 11 May 1581 and she would be the other Alice Prescott

The James Prescott's have different parents listed so would not be the same person.

Thanks Erica

O'Gosh the Prescott line looks bad.

I have removed Alice Prescott as the dau. of Sir Richard Molyneux, Sheriff of Lancaster and Eleanor Radcliffe
Her name should probably be taken off.

I think they have gotten the line confused and James Prescott has got the wrong death date, as father of William Prescott, III the few possibly unrealiable references do not mention James Prescott's wife. James' death date should be removed I have not seen it listed

The About section for William Prescott, III has William married to Alice Molineaux b. circa 1485, d. Aug 27, 1538 , ANCESTRAL FILE NUMBER 9N3P-G9 this information is from a personal ancestral file https://familysearch.org/ark:/61903/2:1:M4WX-QMJ, and does not list the wife Alice as Molineaux (it may have at one time), there are plenty other ancestral files for William.

I would not use a ancestral file as a reference.

I do see that apparently Sir William Molyneux, Lord of Sefton & Clifton had a daugther Anne by each wife

Anne Standish is referred to in several pedigrees

I would love to validate this however on the Standish side if anyone can help.

I'm cleaning up the area & adding more references -- undo merge "was" needed to separate the two Anne's & we never quite finished up last year.

Hi Erica, In the Will of the widow Anne Halsall she talks about the Stanley & Halsall relations but no mention of any Standish. The very large files I have tried to send don't seem to be excepted by GENI. The main one is called The House of Standish - the French Connection. Maybe you could look yourself for it on the internet. The other one is called The Standish Family of Ireland. They have been produced by a American Standish Family. I have now enclosed it in a ZIP file if that is any good to you and you can tell me how to get it to you. Original size 46 MB and a HTML file. Well worth the time it takes to look at them. Great Information.
