Families covered: Arthington of Arthington

(1) References to this family sometimes spell the family name as Ardington. We do not know whether or not the Arthington family in Yorkshire was connected in any way to the Ardington family of the parish of Ardington in Berkshire.
(2) VCH (Yorkshire, vol 3, 'Houses of Cluniac nuns: Priory of Arthington') reports that Arthington priory was founded by Peter father of Serlo father of Peter. The ingilbyhistory site starts with Cerill who we presume to have been the same person as Serlo. Accordingly we start with ...
