William Dernelee (II) was the son of John Dernylye (II) and Helen (?)
On 12 Oct 1537 William attended Wakefield manorial court and paid 16s 8d as fine to inherit one messuage and 29 acres of land and meadow in (Upper)Thong and 3 acres and one rood in Mark Bottoms and "one rood of land parcel of one acre" called Binns1 after the death of John Dernelee his father.
If his father was the son of William D. (son of John & Alice), then he would have been young when he inherited. He could have been as young as 14 to attend court in his own right and unlikely to have been much older.

In the 1599 will of Nicholas Hadfielde of Hadfield (Findmypast) his list of debtors starts thus:
The impression given is that William (III) is now running the Padfield establishment and so is given the label of 'William Dernelye of Padfield', implying that his father had, at some point, made over the property to him. Maybe this Derbyshire handover was at the same time as the 1585 transactions on the Yorkshire property?
William (III) is currently listed as c.1560- but could be a little earlier. The gap from William (II) to William (III) could be explained by a late marriage, lots of daughters, and maybe an older son who died young.
All in all, my feeling is that 'Ould William' is this William (II). -JAD.

A couple of thoughts. If Oliver is to inherit at 26, and William in 4 years, does this make William 22?. If the daughters are to live at Blackshaw after Helyn's death, until Oliver is 26, does this imply that Oliver is one of the youngest in the family?
Oliver is under-age so this could be Oliver of the Blackshaw. -JAD
