Thank you. I know my Edward Sutton that married Anne Stanley has been mixed up with Edward Sutton, 5th Baron that married Theodosia Harrington. I have since found out that my Edward Sutton married Anne Stanley 14 May 1576 in Ormskirk, Lancashire. She is the daughter of Peter Stanley and his second wife Cicely Tarleton of Lancashire.
