Biography

Christopher Lancaster of Depedale who married, Joanne, daughter of Christopher Lancaster and Eleanor Musgrave, of the Sockbridge Lancasters. But his inheritance disputes show him to be a member of another Lancaster family.

• C1/536/20 dated 1518-1529. "Christopher, son of William, son of John Lancastre. v. Thomas, Lord Dacre, son of Humphrey and grandson of Thomas, Lord Dacre: Refusal to allow complainant to redeem mortgage of ground called `the forest of Glenecone,' mortgaged by the said John to the said Lord Dacre the elder"
• In 1518-1529 he was involved in a case C 1/520/46 relating to deeds for land in Kirkby Thore, ancestral territory of his line, versus three couples of the families Hoton, Middylton and Sandford. In that account he is called a gentleman and a son and heir of William Lancastre.

It appears his son and heir was William:

• Machel Vol 1 page 606 says that William, son and heir of Christopher Lancaster of Deepdale purchased land at Melkinthorpe from Edward Lancaster of Brampton in 1521.
• [1536] 31 Aug., 28 Hen. VIII. Bond from Henry Barton of Ormished, gent., to William Lancaster of Deppedall, gent., in 201., respecting the sale of a tenement in Patriksdall.
