The manor passed to the next heir, Alice, sister of Michael le Fleming, who conveyed it in marriage to Sir Richard Cancefield, Knight, lord of Cancefield and Farlton. She survived her husband, and her name occurs during her widowhood as confirming a grant of lands to the Abbey of Cockersand. The issue of the marriage was two sons, John and William, and a daughter Agnes.
  
  John, the eldest son, married, but died childless. The inheritance went to his younger brother William, who was aminor at the time and a ward of the abbot of Furness, who in right of his wardship entered into possession of the manor. The feeling of hostility entertained by the lords of Aldingham towards the fraternity at Furness, though it had slumbered for a time, was manifested with renewed vigor by the William. It is recorded that William Cancefield with the aide of several friend, ejected the representative of the abbot from the possession of his lands, for which offense the sheriff was directed to seize the manor and deliver it into the custody of the abbot until the offender should be of age. William reached an age of majority in 1292, in which year he made proof of his titled to the various manorial rights. he married, yet died without issue. His estates passed to his sister who was married to Robert de Haryngton, who in his wife's right, became the lord of Aldingham.

  Michael II and Christian de Stainton had several children. William, the eldest son, attested several of his father's charters as "William son of Michael de Furness," and 1186, paid twenty marks to the Crown pro fine terre, doubtless upon succeeding to the paternal estates [Lancs. Pipe Rolls, ed. Farrer, p. 60]. Circa 1190, William obtained a grant of various liberties in his lordship of Aldingham, including the right of gallows and jugment by iron, water, and duel [Rot. Chart., Rec. Com., p. xl]. In 1193 he was amongst those fined for having taken part in the rebellion of King John, then Count of Mortain, against Richard I [Farrer, Lancs. Pipe Rolls, p. 78]. William apparently died about 1203, leaving a widow, Eleanor (who married, secondly, William le Butler, lord of Warrington), and a son and heir, Michael III, who was six years old at his father's death [Ancient Deeds, A. 13453; Farrer, Lancs. Pipe Rolls, pp. 180, 191; Lancs. Inqs. and Extents, Lancs. & Cheshire Rec. Soc.]
