The webpage referenced above starts with an obscure couple whose surnames resonate down all the generations that follow:

• Elizabeth Egerton, * 1678, + 1720, Md. 1698, Rev. Peter Leigh, of the West Hall, High Leigh, Rector of Whitchurch, Shropshire, * c. 1663, + 1719.

from which I've extracted the following sequence. We see that Egerton Leigh (a pivotal figure in the history of the White family of Bantry), whose first wife Lady Elizabeth Mary Gore Hedges-White had died at the sadly early age of 33, then married Violet Cecil May Tippinge. This second marriage produced another son, Cecil Egerton Leigh, and another daughter, Cynthia Egerton Leigh, who married Sir Grey Humberston d'Estoteville Skipwith, 11th Bt. His previous marriage to Elsie Maude Allison-Browne had produced Grey d'Estoteville Townsend Skipwith, who predeceased him, but not before producing a son and heir, Patrick Alexander D'Estoteville Skipwith, who would later become the 12th Bt.
