Families covered: Berney (Barney) of Gunton, Berney (Barney) of Reedham, Barney of Wichingham
| (1) Visitation (1563+1589+1613) spells the family name "Barney" but Visitation (1664), BP1934 & BLG1886 show it as "Berney". (2) BP1934 reports that the family is thought to be of Saxon or Norse origin. It starts with Sir Thomas who married Margaret, heiress of Reedham "whither he removed from Witchingham in the time of Edward III". From this we presume that the later Barneys/Berneys of Wichingham were of the same family as those of Reedham. |

| BP1934 starts with the above Sir Thomas who married Margaret, heiress of Reedham "whither he removed from Witchingham in the time of Edward III". From this we presume that the later Barneys/Berneys of Wichingham were of the same family. Noting that Visitation (Norfolk, 1563, Sowthwell) shows the Alice who married John Barney of Redeham as sister of the Amy who married Rafe Barney of Wychingham, which gives us a rough fix on the generations, we presume to show the following Sir Thomas, the first mentioned in the entry on the Barneys of Wichingham, as younger son of the above Sir Thomas. It should be noted that Visitation does not show any connection between the following and the above whilst BP1934 makes no mention at all of the following family. | |||||||||||||||
| 2. | Sir Thomas Barney | ||||||||||||||
| m. _ Argentyne (dau of Sir _ Argentyne) | |||||||||||||||
| A. | Sir Robert Barney of Wichingham | ||||||||||||||
| Visitation identifies Sir Robert's wife as a daughter of Sir Walter Walcott. We have seen her identified on a web site as ... | |||||||||||||||
| m. Margaret Walcott (dau of Sir Walter Walcott of Walcott & Gunton) | |||||||||||||||
| i. | John Barney of Wichingham (and Gunton) | ||||||||||||||
| m. _ Allington (dau of Sir Robert Allington) | |||||||||||||||
| a. | Robert or Rafe Barney of Wichingham | ||||||||||||||
| Visitation (Barney) identifies Robert's wife as Amy, dau of Sir Robert Southwell. As mentioned above, Visitation (Norfolk, 1563, Sowthwell) shows an Amy as married to Rafe Barney of Wychingham, whom we presume to be this Robert, as follows. We have seen (on a web site) reference to Ralph, brother/heir of Robert Berney of Gunton, so we presume that there was/is some confusion between the brothers. | |||||||||||||||
| m. Amy Southwell (dau of Richard Southwell of Woodrising by Amy, dau of Edmond Wichingham) | |||||||||||||||
