Notes

The following, edited by William Farrer (author of the above) contains a correction to the above concerning Robert's wife: Manor of Walton-le-Dale, Lancashire: The descent of the Banastres and of their successors the Langtons having been given in the Feudal Baronage, it is only necessary to add here a few additional notes more immediately relating to Walton. In 1253 Robert Banastre brought proceedings in the King's Court against Peter de Burnhull for felling trees in Walton Wood, and in consequence a perambulation was ordered to fix the bounds between Walton and Brindle. (fn. 22) The abundance of wood in the northern and eastern parts of the township at this date indicates the aptness of the name 'weald tún.' Banastre obtained in 1257 a charter of free warren here, and in 1278 took action against four of the principal freeholders who had withdrawn their suit from Walton Mill, but they denied his title to the mill. He married in 1269 Alesia relict of Philip de Legh of co. Stafford and daughter of Robert de Grendon of Grendon and Shenstone in the same county, and by this union acquired some small interest in that county.

The 1269 marriage date (which is in both the article for Walton-le-Dale & Newton) seems about 10 years too late for the next generation, especially for James' daughter Alesia/Alice who appears to have been 6 years old when she and her husband were summoned to prove their request for a market at Newton. Maybe some of the rootsweb people are right making two Alices, one the dau. of this generation (Robert & Alesia), who m. John Byron, and another Alesia, dau. of James, who m. John Langton. An older Alice makes sense for the Byron marriage.
