• Background Information. ⁸²⁶
Geoffrey was the son of Henry de Worsley. His son, Sir Geoffrey died without legal heirs, and the manor then went to Geoffrey's daughter and Sir Geoffrey's sister Alice, who was married to Sir John Massey.

in July 1356, Geoffrey son of Geoffrey de Worsley was the first defendant to a claim for land in Worsley put forward by John son of Agnes daughter of Henry de Hulton; Gilbert de Haydock was another defendant [Duchy of Lanc. Assize R. 5, m. 20]. It would appear therefore that Henry de Worsley died in or before 1350, leaving as his heir a minor, Geoffrey de Worsley the younger, who had come of age by 1356. On the other hand the jury in 1401 found that Geoffrey the son of Henry succeeded his father, and was in turn followed by his son Geoffrey [Ellesmere D. no. 203].
