Storeys of Old.

Mrs. Holmes Poulton, consort of Colonel Holmes Poulton, and Mrs. Machell, of Grange-over-Sands, are descended from William Storey, second son of William Storey and Mary, née Greenup, his wife. (See Pedigree Sheet II.)

Mr. Hedley Vicars Storey, of Oxford, is one of the Storeys originally dating from Troutbeck, and subsequently from Bolton-le-Sands. Some of this branch of the family were naggers and slaters in Lancaster. Mr. Hedley Vicars Storey's father resided in Lancaster, where he was born - as see Addendum Pedigree - in 1825, leaving his native town for Warrington when he was 21. He was married twice. Mr. Hedley Vicars Storey was so named owing to his father being a warm admirer of Captain Hedley Vicars, of the old 97th Regiment, that fought at Sebastopol.

Mr. Vicars Storey has a sister. Rose Lander, married to Mr. Thomas Cadwallader, a descendant of the Royal Cadwalladers of Wales, one of whom Cadwallader, son of Cadwallon Ab Cadvan, succeeded to the nominal Sovereignty of Britain in the year 660, but, being disheartened with the progress of the Saxons, he went to Rome in 685, where he died in 703. He was the last King of the Britons. Cadwaladyr Cesail was a Welsh bard, many of whose productions yet remain in manuscript. There was another bard of the same name; both flourished in the sixteenth century. (See Cadwalladers of Dumnonia and Cornu, also North Wallia, " Macfarlane and Thomson's History of England," Vol. I., pp. 71, 73, 74 and 75.)

Another and younger sister, Amelia Alice, married Mr. Arthur Beresford, of the ancient De Beresford family, who date from 1087. Mr. S. B. Beresford, brother of Mr. Arthur Beresford, was a genealogist of some note, and the winner of a gold medal, offered by Mr. Francis Galton, for proficiency in family records. Mr. S. B. Beresford died in 1906.

Mr. Hedley Vicars Storey has published a volume of poems, entitled "Home Once More, and other Poems." He is a member of the firm of Horser and Storey, booksellers, &c., High Street, Oxford.

In his library are books containing the following items on their title pages:- "William Storey, his book, 1698," and "William Storey, ejus liber. Anno Domini 1698;" "Gulielmus Storey, Anno Domini 1698."

These books were probably heirlooms, or regarded as such, and would be the property originally, of William Storey, brother of Henry Storey, of Preston Patrick.

Mr. Albert Storey, formerly of Springfield, Chesterfield, forwarded the particulars of his descent from Thomas Storey, third son of William and Mary Storey, née Greenup, of Low Ray (now written Wray). Mr. Albert Storey is the son of the late Mr. William Hollingworth Storey, of Navenby, in the county of Lincoln. His grandfather, Thomas Storey, was a land surveyor, of Bardsea, and nephew of the late Mr. Isaac Storey, of Bardsea and Lancaster.
