Family notes:
·
Isabel is in some genealogies [Pole, Maclean] as
d/o Sir John de Whalesborough, s/o William and Joan Carminow. This does not fit
the timeline, although she may be his sister.
·
The arms of this family are described as Argent,
3 bendlets, gules. In a bordure, sable, 8 ezants. C.S. Gilbert [1820]
suggests that this family may have been a branch of the family of Valletort, as
the arms were also borne by that house.
Children of Henry
and Isabel:
i. John de Wilington (7605238), born 1343 in England. [Heir]
ii. Eleanor Wyllington (623827), born ~1345 in England.
