LOCKED 2026-10-21 as father of william-bessiles. Thomas Bessiles (Bessells/Besils) of Besselsleigh, Berks; d. 29 Sep 1459. CONFLICT on his own parentage (LEAD, not linked): visitation and WikiTree make him son of Sir Peter Bessiles (d. 1424) x Margery Hannys/Hawes (WikiTree: illegitimate son of Margery, named in Peter's will as 'Thomas, son of Margery Hannys'); VCH says Sir Peter died childless and calls William 'probably a distant cousin of Sir Peter'.
