• Background Information:. ⁷²⁹
In Dugdale's Visitation in 1664, it is stated that Annota, only daughter and heir of Benedict Gernet, was the wife of Adam Molines. The Speke extract from the old Lanchsire Feodary makes Roger Gernet the grantor in frank marriage, and Richard Molyneux the receiver. Later the manor of Speke was given to to William Erneys by Ricahrd Molyneux, kinsmans and heir, and the former Molyneux was grantee from Gernet.

Dugdale names the husband as Robert Erneys, and the bride as Joan, daughter of Sir William and sister of Sir Richard Molyneux of Sefton. Gregory King, Lancaster Herald, and well read in Molyneux and Blundell Charters is most precise. "This Sir William did grant his manor of de Speke in marriage with Joan his daughter, to Robert Erneys, with ward and relief of Sir Patric de Haselwal, to hold of him for xvi pence by the year." Alice Erneys, daughter of Joan Molyneux and Robert de Erneys, brought this manor in marriage to Sir Henry Norreys.
