Note:
James,
I have seen your RootsWeb entry under "Willoughby Skipwith", and I believe that,
under his ancestry, you mix up the Prestwold and South Ormsby lines.
After Sir William Skipwith (of South Ormsby, Lincolnshire) and Alice Dymoke you
have:
Henry Skipwith and Jane Hall
William Skipwith and Anne Hussey
Willoughby Skipwith
In fact, Alice Dymoke was the second wife of Sir William.
Their son and heir was, as you say, Henry Skipwith (he was "of Keythorpe, and
later of Cotes and Prestwold") who married Jane Hall/Neale. Their son and heir
was Sir William Skipwith of Cotes and Prestwold.
The line from Sir William Skipwith of Ormsby (who died 7 July 1547) down to
Willoughby goes via his first wife, Elizabeth, daughter of Sir William Tyrwhit
of Kettleby and Bigby.
Their son and heir was Sir William Skipwith who was buried at South Ormsby on 18 October 1586. He married Elizabeth, daighter of
Sir Richard Page of Beechwood, Hertfordshire. Elizabeth was buried at South
Ormsby on 7 April 1573.
The son and heir of Sir William and Elizabeth Page was:
Sir Richard Skipwith of South Ormsby. He married (1565)Mary, daughter of Ralph
Chamberlain of Gedding, Suffolk.
The son and heir of Sir Richard and Mary was:
William Skipwith of Skipwith and South Ormsby. Buried at Ormsby 1 October 1622.
He married:
1. Anne, daughter of John Hussey. She was already two times a widow. No children
are recorded of this marriage.
2. Anne, daughter of Thomas Portington.
William and Anne had nine children.
Their son and heir was Willoughby Skipwith who was baptised at South Ormsby on 3
January 1612-3. He is recorded as having been aged 9 years, nine months and 8
days on 1 April 1623. He sold Ormsby in 1638. He died in 1658.
Willoughby married Honora, daughter of Dr. Patrick Saunders of London. Honora
died in 1680.
The son and heir of Willoughby and Honora was John Skipwith of Dion's Head, Hemingbrough, Yorkshire. He
was buried at Skipwith, the family estate that he sold.

I hope this may be of interest. Please let me know.

Sir William died on 7 July 1547.
