The MP, subject of this article, is the grandson of
Sir Francis Winnington. Sir Francis's son, Francis, was a solicitor, but not, apparently, an MP. He married Susanna Courtenay. This MP is the son of that Francis and Susanna.

Burke's is generally reliable; are you sure it isn't just a misleading pronoun? Having 3 Francis Winningtons in succession is bound to be a bit confusing. A web page I've found showing the correct arrangement claims to be sourced to Burke's of 1934. The following is the tree as best I can make out:
My assessment of Burke is that it is usually OK, but I know of articles that were wrong, sometimes being amended in later editions. My copy is the 1939 edition. It says that Francis of Broadway had two sons, but only names Edward, hence my confusion. You have been follwing me around tidying up what I have done imperfectly: Do keep up the good work!
