Disputed Name

Cokayne's Complete Baronetage gives his name as Frederick Pilkington. This appears to be incorrect. Other reputable sources agree that it was Thomas. See the discussion in soc.medieval.genealogy here (https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/soc.genealogy.medieval/MpYMek8AzZc) for more information.
