Her mother was Alice Taylor of Claughton, Lancs, named in his spiritual Will by her uncle Richard Taylor 11 May 1726, Lancs. Rec. Off. RCCL/1/5. Her father was of the Butler of Rawcliffe and Eccleston family. His personal name may derive from a link with the Orde family of Weetwood, Northmb. (Catholic Non-Jurors, p. 209).
