It records that Nicholas le French later granted the manor for eight years at a rent of 50 shillings to Fulk Harwode. Because the source expresses uncertainty about the legal route by which the French family acquired the manor, the date and nature of Nicholas's title are retained as uncertain.

It does not identify the precise conveyance or date of acquisition. William Jolliffe also purchased Merstham Manor in 1788, but the consulted evidence does not permit the date of his acquisition of Albury to be equated with the 1788 Merstham purchase.

Albury was eventually united with Merstham Manor. Previous holder: William Jolliffe and later Jolliffe family holders Holding arrangement: sole Share / interest: Not stated Shared holding: Jolliffe-Hylton family Narrative / explanation: The Victoria County History states that Albury eventually became the property of William Jolliffe and was united to the manor of Merstham, with Lord Hylton as the present owner at the time of publication. This identifies Lord Hylton as the latest securely evidenced historical holder in the consulted sources, but the exact transfer from William Jolliffe and the precise date of the union are not stated. A late nineteenth-century Kelly's directory also identifies Lord Hylton with Merstham House and as lord of the manor in the locality, corroborating the Jolliffe-Hylton connection. Source citation: A History of the County of Surrey, volume 3, Victoria County History, 1911, parish of Merstham, p. 216; corroborated by Kelly's Directory of Surrey, 1885, entry for Merstham.
