• Background Information. 141
Isabel, the mother of Hugh Shirley, appears to have been a sister of the last Lord, Ralph Basset, the 3rd Lord Basset of Drayton, -possibly of the half blood - inasmuch as Alice the mother of the last Lord, married secondly, Hugh de Meinill.

It is possible that she might have been a bastard sister, and "the late Francis Townshend, Esq., Windsor Herald (1784-1819), on the authority of Robert Glover, Somerset, a most learned and skilful herald, considered the illegitimacy of Isabel Shirley to be indisputable; quoting a pedigree drawn out in 1583 by that herald (Glover) for Sir George Shirley, her lineal descendant and heir, in which she is called natural sister of the last Baron.
