Research Notes:
A Wortley pedigree, by Hunter, reports that Sir Nicholas de Wortley, son of Sir Nicholas de Wortley, married Elizabeth de Wannerville. They were the parents of John Wortley, under age in 1360. [3]
A different Wortley pedigree, published by Foster, inserts an extra generation and reports that Sir Nicholas de Wortley and Elizabeth de Wannerville were the parents of Sir Nicholas de Wortley, husband of Katherine Lizours, who were the parents of John Wortley, under age in 1360. [4]
