The Cholmeley branch of the Cholmley/Cholmeley family was resident at Brandsby Hall.
Richard Cholmeley and Hugh Cholmley went to a play on 5 May 1620. Richard Cholmeley of Brandsby's father was Roger of Brandsby (d. 1577), and Roger’s father was Sir Richard of Roxby (d. 1583). Sir Richard’s second wife was Katherine Clifford (d. 1598) and their great-grandson was Sir Hugh Cholmley (1600–57) of the Whitby line, author of the memoirs. This is the Hugh who went to the play in 1620. There are only two other Hughs in the family, son and grandson of this Hugh, neither of them born yet in 1620.
