Commentary

Sir Urian Legh, of Adlington, near Prestbury, Cheshire, who died in 1627, married 6 Sept. 1586, Margaret, a daughter of Sir Edmund Trafford (Old Stretford, p. 20). He is described at that time as “ a young gentleman of great worship and good education.” For his services at Cadiz in 1596 he had been knighted. His brothers were Thomas, Edward, and Ralph. “ Mr. Wortley” may be Sir Richard Wortley (Foster’s Yorkshire Pedigrees), whose son Francis (afterwards Sir Francis) was, about 1607, attending Oldham Grammar School with Sir George Radcliffe, under the Rev. Mr. Hunte. (Radcliffe’s Letters, pp. 19, &c.) His name again occurs. George Booth, Esq. (born 1566, died 1652), of the Booth family of Wilmslow and Dunham, became Sheriff of Cheshire in 1597. Two messuages and their appurtenances at Dunham formed part of the possessions of Manchester College (Hibbert-Ware, i. 95), and there was some disagreement about it (Cf. 23 June posteà). Mr. Booth had evidently a good opinion of Dee. “ The Bishop” is clearly Chadderton. The Bishop of Chester had recently died ; but Vaughan was the bishop elect, nominated 16th May. A few days earlier Vaughan had desired that his confirmation might be performed at Lambeth by commission, the bishoprick being but small (Baker MSS. Mm. i. 45, p. 380). His request was made, through Whitgift, to Archbishop Hutton.
