Extracted from The Fee of Makerfield, with an account of some of it’s lords, the Barons of Newton. By William Beamont, Esq. (Read February 22, 1872.) page 97-99. < PDF >
“… We do not know whom Robert married, but we know that he left three sons, Richard, the eldest, who dying without issue before the year 1204, was succeeded by his brother Warin, who married a wife named Sara, and dying without issue was succeeded, in 16 John, (1213,) by Thurstan, his youngest brother, whose wife's name was Cecilia. …”
“… Before the time of Thurstan and Cecilia the great Banastre inheritance had passed for two generations through collaterals. But Thurstan and Cecilia had now two sons, of whom Robert, the eldest, who married Clementia, succeeded to the barony, and Thurstan, who married Maria Vernon, to whom his brother gave lands at Newton in Wirrall, and from whom sprang the Banastres of Bank and Brotherton. This line had for their arms, argent, a cross patonce, sable.
Robert Fitz Thurstan Banastre, being only a year old in 1219, when his father died, his wardship and marriage de- volved upon the king, who sold both for 500 marks, a sum which shews the great value of the property, to Philip de Orreby, justice of Chester, who married him to his daughter Clementia. Henceforward the Banastres bore a coat of gules, three chevronels argent, evidently derived from that of Orreby, with a change of tincture, which was a common practice on the adoption of the arms of an heiress. On their seal they used their old badge of creels or water buckets on either side of the shield-like supporters.
His early death, which might have been hastened by the troubles of those times, happened before the 27th July, 1242.
By his wife, who survived him, he had issue John, who died an infant before 16 Henry III, (1241,) and Robert, who survived him.
It was either by Robert Fitz Thurstan as Baron of Newton, or his son, that Sir John Mansel was presented to the rectory of Wigan.”
