He had<br /> a younger son, George Loftus,and I wonder why the title did <br /> not come down to his family line. He fits the terms of the <br /> patent of,James1st as a male heir of his house.George was <br /> born 1602 in Dublin he married Elizabeth Bullo at Ripon in<br /> 1631 The last male in direct line is a Sidney Loftus Who <br /> died in Hull in 1977.

Would love to hear from anyone around at that time. I believe it was Dad that brought Viola to hospital for the birth of one of her children, possibly Gerald. Dad is still with us 96 yrs old this year.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16061106623816313091noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2705771450596300887.post-84107883961595561362011-01-10T12:49:44.891+00:002011-01-10T12:49:44.891+00:00I believe my garndfather William Sparrow was gamek...I believe my garndfather William Sparrow was gamekeeper at Ely Lodge in 1920s or 30s.
