From John D's 1705 will, Elizabeth's (married) children could well be the four nieces named Sarah Dixon, Mary Langly, Anna Newton and Martha Charlesworth in John IV's will. However, without Elizabeth's married name it is hard to prove this, and they could be the nieces of one of John's two wives. - JAD

William & Elizabeth's children's birth order & dates are speculative from William's 1613 will.
- MED

Our principal guidance is the 1613 will:
1.     John and Nicholas are named as overseers of their father's will (in that order)
2.     Nicholas's inheritance is his father's farm, where his mother Elizabeth is to continue in residence
3.     I.G. suggests that John and William may have already received property, hence the minimal bequest of 3s 4d (obviously not an insult as John is      named as overseer of his father's will)
4.     Edward and the 2 girls share two-thirds of the rest of the estate (valued at over £30).

I am wondering if the above could be used to argue that Edward was the youngest of the sons.

(Also viz a viz Edward and Joane Brammall, their children (born and died Padfield) are only ten years adrift in age from Nicholas's, and they named their eldest daughter Elizabeth and their eldest son William.) - JAD.

There is the possibility of some confusion between this Edward of Padfield (c.1605-) & Edward D. of Hadfield (c.1616-) married to Elizabeth Hadfield (family raised in Padfield).

Latin text dated 2 October 1661 which appears to mention Edwardi Dearnelei (Glossop) & Joanna Dearnelei de Hadfield

The dates here are confusing – the Inventory is clearly dated ’64 and the second page is 1661.
The William Derneli & William Derneli junior could be:
1. Edward's nephew William born 1616, son of Nicholas D. see William Dernely
2. Edward's brother (born circa 1588 so he would be quite old) & son. see William Dearnley
#1 seems the more likely.

A Thomas Doxon also was a witness of William D's 1613 will (Edward's father) see William Dearnley (III).

Name from William's 1613 will
I can't be entirely sure about the Elianor; it could be Eliza or even Emma at a push, but the paper is creased and small parts have flaked off.

Upperthong
In 1504 a William Dernelegh paid 17s heriot (a fee to inherit his father's estate) on the death of his father John and mother Alice.
see William Dernelegh (I)

In 1537 a William Dernelee paid 16s 8d as fine to inherit one messuage and 29 acres of land and meadow in (Upper)Thong and 3 acres and one rood in Mark Bottoms and "one rood of land parcel of one acre" at Binns¹ after the death of John Dernelee his father.
see William Dernelee (II)

In 1585 there are more transactions involving land in Upperthong. In January William Darnylee of Padfield, Derbyshire, yeoman, let a tenement or house and 16 acres and one rood to William Broadhead of Middleton at a rent of 20s a year for a term of 21 years. However, in April William Darnylee surrendered by William Broadhead half a messuage and all its lands, meadows and tenements estimated at 16 acres and one rood, occupied by Nicolas Hadfield which were then let to John, son of Nicholas Hadfield for a term of 21 years.

When James I succeeded to the throne, the manor of Wakefield was a royal manor and James disputed a number of tenancies in 1608-9. As a consequence many tenants of the manor had to pay to have their tenancies secures. One of these was John D who paid 9s 5d, well into the upper quartile.

There is no evidence that any of these Dearnley families actually lived on this land in Upperthong and clearly William didn't in 1585. There are no Dearnleys in the parish registers at this time."

The William D of Padfield sounds particularly interesting as he must have been contemporary of Roger of Glossop in the lawsuit against the Whiteheads.
see Roger Dearnley (II)

The similarity in the amounts of heriot suggests that the 1504 & 1537 estates could be the same. It looks as if by 1585 it had been subdivided - there's half a messuage and the area is also about half the 1537 area.

Ian Goddard

¹ "Binns" : There is more than one Binns & in this context Binns is actually Upperthong.
see this streetmap.co.uk map
Mark Bottoms on this map is the valley of the stream just to the north running from Wolfstones to New Rd. The stream is the boundary between Upper-and Nether-thong and hence of Wakefield manor (Mark in this context must mean boundary, cf the Welsh Marches). - IG.

In 1585 William (William III) let two parcels of land which, taken together, correspond to the description of the land taken by William II almost 50 years previously.
On 15 Jan 1585 William Darnylee of Padfield, Derbyshire, yeoman, surrendered by Nicholas Fenay, the lord's tennant, a tenement or house and 16 acres and one rood to William Broadhead of Middleton at a rent of 20s a year for a term of 21 years.
On 28 Apr 1585 William Darnylee surrendered by William Broadhead, the lord's tenant, half a messuage and all its lands, meadows and tenements estimated at 16 acres and one rood in Thong, occupied by Nicolas Hadfield to John, son of Nicholas Hadfield for a term of 21 years.

In 1613 William Dearnlye of Padfeld made a Will naming his wife Elizabeth, Nicholas, John, Edward and William and daughters Alice and ?Elianor. He also names William Collier as a son-in-law to whom he owes money. He also mentions debts owing to him from Thomas Oldham and John Broadhead, both of Upperthong in the parish of Almondbury for rents and, part of the latter's fine. Nevertheless the Upperthong property itself does not appear to be mentioned in the will. Nicholas received the Padfield estate apart from Elizabeth's share during her widowhood. John & William receive nominal sums suggesting they had already received property. The presence of looms and wool amongst the farming stock and implements in William's inventory suggests that William followed the same lifestyle as the clothiers, as they came to be called, of the West Riding.
According to a Goddard pedigree dated 1591 Elizabeth, daughter of John, son of Sir John Godard, Kt, of Glossop, was the wife of William Dernly.
The William of the leases and of the Will seem likely to have been the same person and the William of the 1591 pedigree may also have been.
Although William III's origins are not certain he seems likely to have been a descendant of William II. If John II died young then William III is likely to have been William II's son but an intermediate generation can't be excluded. He married Elizabeth, probably Elizabeth Godard. - Ian Goddard.

William Deernelee was godfather of Elizabeth:PageLink], daughter of [PageLink:]30957 of Overthwonge (Upperthong) baptised at Almondbury, the only mention of a Dearnley in the surviving Almondbury and Kirkburton registers prior to the 1650s.
Agnes, John's wife, was buried the same day having died in childbirth.
Q.? Was the above John Hadfielde the father of this John Hadfield ?

Living during the 1591 Heraldic Visitations of Wales. (towards the end of Elizabeth I reign)
source: FamilySearch

Heraldic visitation
Heraldic Visitations were tours of inspection undertaken by Kings of Arms in England, Wales and Ireland in order to regulate and register the coats of arms of nobility and gentry and boroughs, and to record pedigrees. They took place from 1530 to 1688, and their records provide important source material for genealogists.

Process of visitations
By the fifteenth century, the use and abuse of coats of arms was becoming widespread in England. One of the duties conferred on William Bruges, the first Garter Principal King of Arms was to survey and record the armorial bearings and pedigrees of those using coats of arms and correct irregularities. The officers of arms of England made occasional tours of various parts of the country to enquire about matters armorial during the fifteenth century.[2] It was not until the sixteenth century that the process began in earnest.

The first provincial visitations were carried out under warrant granted by Henry VIII to Thomas Benolt, Clarenceux King of Arms dated 6 April 1530.[3] He was commissioned to travel throughout his province and was given authority to enter all homes and churches. Upon entering these premises, he was authorized to "put down or otherwise deface at his discretion...those arms unlawfully used".[4] He was also required to enquire into all those using the titles of knight, esquire, or gentleman and decided if they were being lawfully used.

By this writ, Henry VIII also compelled the sheriffs and mayors of each county or city visited by the officers of arms to give aid and assistance in gathering the needed information. When a King of Arms, or his deputy, visited a county, his presence was proclaimed by presenting the Royal Commission and the local gentry and nobility were required to provide evidence of their right to bear arms. The Sheriff would collect from the bailiff of each hundred within his county a list of all people using titles or arms. These were summoned to the visitation and the hope was that none would escape the enquiry. The people that were summoned were to bring their arms, and proof of their right to use the arms. Their ancestry would also be recorded. Where an official grant of arms had been made, this was recorded. Other ancient arms, many of which predated the establishment of the College of Arms, were confirmed. The officer would record the information clearly and make detailed note that could be entered into the records of the College of Arms when the party returned to London. These volumes now make up the Library of Visitation Books at the College, which contain a wealth of information about all armigerous people from the period.[5] If the officers of arms were not presented with sufficient proof of the right to use a coat of arms, they were also empowered to deface monuments which bore these arms and to force persons bearing such arms to sign a disclaimer that they would cease using them.

The visitations were not popular with the landed gentry who were required to present proof of their gentility. Members of this class grew in power after the installation of William III in 1688, and further commissions to carry out visitations were not issued by William or his successors. This cessation of the visitations did not have much effect on those counties far removed from London. Over the period of visitations many of these counties were rarely visited. Those closer to London were more frequently subject to inspection. Also, there was never a systematic visitation of Wales. There were four visitations in the principality, and on 9 June 1551, Fulk ap Hywel, Lancaster Herald of Arms in Ordinary was given a commission to visit all of Wales. This was not carried out, however, as he was degraded and executed for counterfeiting the seal of Clarenceux King of Arms. This is regrettable, since no visitation of all Wales was ever made by the officers of arms.[6]

In the 1599 will of Nicholas Hadfielde of Hadfield his list of debtors starts thus:

     Debtes Owinge to me
first Willyam Dernelye of Padfield of lent money 
w(hich) I lent hym                                        xxxviijs
It(em) Ould Willym Dernely father of … aforesaid
Wm Dernelye of lent money, w(hich) I lent hym 
at another tyme                                           xs

The impression given is that this William (III) is now running the Padfield establishment and so is given the label of 'William Dernelye of Padfield', implying that his father had, at some point, made over the property to him. Maybe this Derbyshire handover was at the same time as the 1585 transactions on the Yorkshire property?

William (III) is currently listed as c.1560- but could be a little earlier. The gap from William (II) to William (III) could be explained by a late marriage, lots of daughters, and maybe an older son who died young.

All in all, my feeling is that 'Ould William' is William (II). -JAD.

Perhaps mentioned in the 1610 will of Nicholas Hadfield of Padfield. (note: Alternatively this might be the William D of the Blackshawe family)

Nicholas H. refers to "Wm Dernely my broth(er)inlaw", but currently we don't know whether this is Nicholas' wife's brother or sister's husband).

Some evidence points to family connections between William III and the Hadfields of Padfield (ref Nicholas Hadfield died 1610) and also the Hadfields of Overthong (ref John Hadfield died 1592/3). William III appears to have had just one wife with surname Goddard (assuming Elsbeth living 1591 and Elizabeth living 1613 are one and the same). The Hadfield connection might be explained by two of William's sisters both marrying Hadfields - one from Derbyshire and one from Yorkshire.

-JAD.

William & Elizabeth's children's birth order & dates are speculative from William's 1613 will.
- MED

Could this be the William D. who married Elizabeth Taylor in Emley in 1625?
