Family of Holme.

Bankes, of Winstanley Hall, is paternally The family of Holme, from which Mr. descended, has been seated in Lancashire, in different branches, from a period shortly subsequent to the Norman Conquest. The surname, which was originally and properly spelt Hulme, is local, and derived from the manor of that name between Trafford and Manchester, formerly possessed by the family.

In the 3rd vol. of Holinshed's Chronicle, among the number of the Norman gentlemen attending on William the Conqueror, is mentioned the Seigneur de Houlme, but whether he was the father of Ranulph or Randulphus, who was possessed of Hulme about the end of the 11th century, is not clearly ascertained. The great-grandson of this Randulphus,

(Corry's Lanc. Part iv. p. 398.) From a son of this Robert a family of Hulme claimed descent, which is mentioned in the Visitation of 1664, and is supposed to be still existing.

JACOBUS, OF JAMES DE HULME, of Hulme Hall, was living as late as the 9th year of HENRY V., when he was one of the witnesses to the license for the foundation of Manchester College by Thomas de la Warr. He was succeeded at Hulme by his son William, who either alienated or forfeited the manor of Hulme, as Radulphus de Prestwyche appears seised of it anno 1434-9, and it continued in the Prestwyche family more than two hundred years. The descendants of William de Hulme continued however to hold property near Hulme, till the line terminated somewhere about the end of the 17th century in an heiress, who m.
