The earliest Slifield I have is Geoffrey b. 1230 of Great Bookham. It seems probable that Edward St. John is the son of John St. John of Lagham by Katherine de Say. I believe the marriage of John and Katherine was contracted when they were minors, hence the date of 1320 for a marriage to be consummated would probably be 1330 when children would have been born. Some sources state that Edward St. John of Godstone (Lagham) was born about 1344. I am a bit troubled by the date of birth of Nicholas Slifield as 1320. > The de la Bisse family were joined to the Wintershull family when William Bysshe born 1510, married Sarah Wintershull. In 1207 William de Sandes and his wife Lucy sued Stephen de Turneham and his wife Edlina in Stlifield [Slifield].In 1261 John de Wyntereshull sued William Godalming and his wife Joania in Great Bocham [Bookham] and Wyntershull. > By 1409, Thomas de Wyntreshulle by his custos sued George Brewes for a carucate of land in Bromlegh, which Philippa de Neville had given to William de Wyntershulle and Beatrice, his wife, and heirs of their bodies in the reign of Henry III[1] In 1435, Robert Wintershull, Thomas Slyfield [Bruce Jun1]and Thomas Elyot sued Thomas Waller and Johanna of Guildford and Stoke. Chivington or Bysshe Court in was held by the d'Abernons of de Clare. > John Bisse married by 1466, Joan the daughter and heir of John Redinghurst in Cranley and his brother William married a daughter of Thomas Slyfield. There is of record in 6 Henry IV [1405] Special assize roll and file, Nicholas Slyfield and John Redinghurst v. Roger Alexander in Surrey (Just 1/863-869), from the records of itinerant justices and other court records. > Pat > > > On Nov 7, 2015, at 11:36 AM, mk via wrote: > > > Thanks Vance!
