  Hissem_Gernets of Heysham
Heysham was a Gernet property, sub-enfeoffed to this junior branch of the family who, over time, assumed the title of 'de Heysham' to differentiate themselves from the senior branch, who resided at Halton.
Adam Gernet's widow, Agnes de Heysham, complained to King John in 1199 that Roger de Leicester had married his daughter to Thomas, her son, who ought to be a royal ward, in order to acquire the custody of Thomas and his land, consisting of five Carucates in 'Hessen' and 'Catton,' without the King’s consent.
In the reign of Henry III, 1216-1272, the Heysham manor was in the holding of Roger de Hesham.
