   Note: Simon de Burley is mentioned as the son of William, which could only be William de Burley II. He appears as both Simon of Burle in Shropshire and of Birleye in Herefordshire in 1242-3 and 1249. The ownership of these lands in both counties by the first Simon de Burley is important, because it is indicates we are dealing with one family rather than two. It also gives an indication of when he died, as in 1274, the Shropshire properties had been put in the hands of Sir Simon’s successor Sir John de Burley. By 1292, these same lands were in the hands of Sir John’s son Sir Roger. This would indicate that by 1292, at the latest, Sir John had inherited what was now the main family property in Herefordshire from Sir Simon which allows us to arrive at 1283 as an approximate year of death, a very good life span for someone born around 1200.
