Note 1
!Note: There are other related sources under Isabell and her daughters, but this is the baseline for this Anabille. This grant has to take place at a time when it can first be given to Sir William though an older Anibille in the line of succession for Totleworth. It mentions a father named John de Wallebonkes for Richard lord of Totleworth and a coheir for Isabell. This is the only place I can see to fit Anabille, thus assuming she would have to be a sister to Isabell. Anabille’s husband is named John, and like the other men, he would hold in right of his wife..
