interesting to note that Wyghtwysill is given as the _alias_ for

Wightwisle and Mary Morton daughter of Henry Morton of Wightwisle,
referred to in this deed. John is said to have had a living in Norfolk.
His eldest daughter Mary married Christopher Wilson of Broomhead. William
and Richard Ibotson were probably related to John whose grandson Charles
Wilson was vicar of Sheffield. See F.M.G. vol II, page 650.
