  Research Notes:

From Wikipedia - Audley-Stanley family :

The Audley-Stanley family is a family with many notable members including the Earls of Derby who are descended from the early holders of Audley, Staffordshire ).

The first mention of Audley, however, is in the Domesday book of 1086, when it was called Aldidelege, when the lands were held by a Saxon thegn called Gamel.

The extended Audley family, originally of Audley Castle but who later built (or re-built) Heighley Castle , Madeley, Staffordshire in 1226, had several additional households including Red Castle at Hawkstone in Shropshire , Buglawton Manor in Congleton , Newhall Tower at Combermere and a home in Nantwich [1]. In the early 12th century Adam's grandson William married Joan de Stanley heiress of Stoneleigh, Derbyshire thereby becoming William de Stanley of Stoneleigh. This branch of the Audley thus took the name Stanley and Thomas Stanley, 1st Earl of Derby was a direct descendant.

The main line of the Audley family, who had become Baron Audley in 1313, failed in 1391 when Nicholas Audley, 3rd Baron Audley died without a male heir. His sister Joanne married Sir John Tuchet (b1327) for whose descendant John Tuchet (b1371) the title of 4th Baron Audley was granted in 1408. He was succeeded by his son James Touchet, 5th Baron Audley . Later generations of the Tuchet's became Earl of Castlehaven .

Another branch of the Audley family was created by Hugh Audley of Stratton Audley , Baron Audley from 1317, whose son became 1st Earl of Gloucester .

The Audley & Stanley families and their descendants remained prominent throughout the history of England and Ireland into modern times. The Stanleys were, at one time, one of the richest landowning families in England.
