Lebus something is my best guess, although it sounds like rubbish.
Heap - Holmfirth WRY
Rhodes-Flockton WRY & NE Cheshire
Ridgway- NE Cheshire & Lancahire
Roebuck - Upperthong WRY
Wild - NECheshire
Riley - NE Cheshire & Derbyshire
Greaves - NE Cheshire & Lancashire

I really don't have a clue, since it is a witness, and not family that I may have seen before.
Using other writting on the page, I would guess it would read...   L - - n, witnefs
