        Thomas Lyster, or Lister, who is stated to have been of Wakefield in 1426, and to have had a son, Michael, of Brockden, who, by Mary his wife, was father of John, father of Lord Chief Justice Sir Richard Lyster. He, or his son Thomas, may be the Thomas Lyster who was a trustee of Thurston Banastre (of Brockden) for the foundation of the Roger Nowell Chauntry in Wakefield Church, 25 Sept. 1478. The Banastre and Nowell connection tends to confirm the alleged relationship of the Wakefield Lysters. However, in Flower's "Visitation of Yorks.", 1563-4, Thomas Lyster is stated to have m. . . .

        Lawrence Lyster, or Lister, of Midhope, &c., 4 Hen. VI., 1426 . At the Michaelmas Sessions at Lancaster 9 Hen. VI., 1431, "Lawrence, son of John Lyster de Berlewyck," appeared. In Jan. 1442 Edmund Parker of Colne granted Lawrence Lyster of Midhope land in Merelysden. "Lawrence Lyster" was plaintiff in a case at York, 33 Hen.

In 1466/7 Richard Banastre of Brokden granted Lawrence Lyster and Christopher his son lands in Todbarges in Rimington. In 1463 Lawrence Lyster rented the fisheries of Colne. He granted 20 Sept. 1467, to Christopher his son, and Joane his wife, dau. William Calverley, Esq., lands in Pontefract Houghton, Castleford, Whitwoodmere, and Hoogill in Craven. According to most pedigrees, Lawrence Lyster m. a dau. of Richard Banastre of Brockden, but in an ancient MS. pedigree at Browsholme, which gives proof of each link in the Lyster descents, so far as it goes, it is stated that he m. Ellen Banastre, dau. Christopher Banastre, "as appeareth by a deed bearing date ye 12 Henry VI.," and that he was son of John "as appears by a deed of Intayle of 4 Hen. VI." (1425/6), which deed is entered in the Dodsworth MSS. "P" agrees as to the marriage, giving "Ellena fil. Chris. Banastre de Brockden, per quam Manorium de Swinden, et tenementa apud Brockden ed Tedber." [H.L.L. Denny, "Memorials of an Ancient House" (1913) - pp. 8-9]
