The Manners family appears here on the ‘Man & Other Families’ website as the result of a series of marriages as follows: Frances Manners married Sir Henry Nevill(e), 6th Lord Abergavenny; their daughter Mary Neville married Thomas Fane; their son Francis Fane married Mary Mildmay; their son Robert Fane married Elizabeth Cartwright; their daughter Elizabeth Fane married Lewis Incledon; their son Henry married Mary Davie; their daughterMary Incledon married Philip Rogers Webber; their daughter Mary Webber married John Harris; their son John Webber Harris married Louisa Ayton Desborough; their daughter Louisa Mary Harris married Edward Desborough Man. Thus Mary Neville was the ancestress of all those ‘Mans’ who are descended from Edward Desborough.

Frances Manners was the daughter of Thomas Manners, 1st Earl of Rutland and Eleanor Paston daughter of Sir William Paston of Norfolk .

Thomas was the son of Sir George Manners, 11th Baron de Ros (c.1470-1513)  and his wife Anne St Leger (1476–1526).
