In 1415, his father appointed an attorney to receive possession of the manor of Hall in Sutton, but there is no more definite evidence that the marriage ever took place (Surr. Arch. Colls. xii. addenda; O. Manning and W. Bray, Surr. iii. 54).

Notes

Some idea of the complex genealogy of the Weston family can be gained from the pedigree drawn up during the heralds’ visitation of Surrey of 1623 (Surr. Arch. Colls. xii. addenda). It is sometimes difficult to distinguish the subject of this biography from the two other William Westons who sat, respectively, for Sussex and London during our period. The problem of identification is further complicated by the activities of another of Weston’s kinsmen and namesakes who lived at Clapham in Surrey at this time (VCH Surr. iv. 39; C139/68/13).
