Ralph de Standish occurs in the time of Richard I, [Lancs. Pipe R. 378.] and in 1206 agreed with Siward de Langtree as to the partition of the manor and advowson of Standish. [Final Conc. (Rec. Soc. Lancs. and Ches.), i, 24] He died in 1219-20, and was succeeded, it is alleged, by a son Richard, a younger son, Alexander, having long held the rectory, and almost immediately succeeding his father in the manor. [Curia Regis R. 70, m. 16; 74, m. 8] His son Ralph followed, [Assize R. 404, m. 14 d] and left three sons, who held the manor one after another-Edmund, Hugh and Jordan. [Lancs. Inq. and Extents, i, 269] Jordan's eldest son, Ralph, died without issue in or before 1296, and a younger son, William, succeeded, holding the manor for nearly thirty years. William was, about 1322, succeeded by his son John, who lived until about 1350, and whose eldest son William appears to have died before his father without issue.
