Jane Legh was daughter of Sir Piers (VII) Legh (1479-4 Dec 1542) of Lyme,
Cheshire and Margaret Tyldesley of Tyldesley, Lancashire. Margaret's
father was named Nicholas, but nothing further on this. There are a
number of references to this family in Marshall under "Tildesley."
Thomas Gerard (d. 1553) of Kingsley, Cheshire and Bryn, Lancashire and
Jane had at least three children: (1) Catherine m. William Torbock of
Torbock, Lancashire (and great-grandmother to gateway immigrant Oliver
Mainwaring of New London, CT) (2) Daughter whose name I do not have m.
Robert Charnocke and (3) Thomas m. Elizabeth Port of Etwall, Derbyshire.
Hope this helps.
