Thomas Wybergh was the son and heir of Thomas Wybergh of Clifton manor, Westmorland, and his wife Anne Lowther.[1][2]
Thomas Wybergh and Ann Dacre nee Grindall were married at St Bees in Cumberland on 13 October 1586.[3] Sometime before 1606 Wybergh purchased the manor and rectory of St. Bees in Cumberland, which he held along with the manor of Clifton. [4] He seems to have fallen into financial difficulties by 1606, however.[5][6]
