'Temp39'Index links to: Lead / Letter TEMPORARY FILE This page is still being researched. It has NOT yet been launched formally into the Database but is shown here TEMPORARILY (albeit for an uncertain length of time pending further research), partly to record connections that we fear we might otherwise lose sight of and partly in the hope that one or more visitors to the site will contribute information that will enable us to develop our information on the families covered in this page to a standard that would support release of a dedicated page in the Database.

Reginald or Raynold (probably not Richard) Warcope or Warcopp 'of Smardale (Westmoreland)'
The following connections are wholly presumptuous.
(1)
Various web sites show the undermentioned Thomas of Tanfield as the same person as the above Thomas of Smardale. However, Visitation shows only 2 unnamed daughters of that Thomas (their names come from the records of their husbands) but we have found reference to at least one other lady who appears to have been another daughter of the Thomas of Tanfield. It is true that Agnes & Anne were often interchangeable and that it would not have been unusual for a widow to marry her late husband's brother but Visitation (Durham, 15575+1615+1666, Bowes of Streatlam) gives no indication that one brother married the other's widow. Noting that it is thought not unlikely that they were at least quite closely related, we provisionally show Thomas of Tanfield as cousin of Thomas of Smardale.
(2) Having set Thomas of Tanfield as cousin of Thomas of Smardale, we have an intermediary generation, a brother of John and another son of Edward. For no reason other than similarity of designation and rough guidance from the dates, we show the following Leonard, father of Eizabeth, as possibly father of Thomas.
B.
Leonard Warcop of Tanfield (Yorkshire)
i.
Thomas Warcop of Tanfield possibly of this generation
Visitation (Worcestershire, 1569, Habington) describes Phillip as "lord of the mannor of Brockhampton". Visitation (Worcestershire, 1569, Barnaby) shows him as husband of Agnes Croftes with his son John as married to the heiress of Brokhampton. Visitation (Herefordshire, 1569, Abington) just shows Elizabeth, wife of William Abington, as "D. and h. of Brokhampton, nupta Dumbalton" which suggests that her mother was the heiress of Brokhampton.
A.
John Dombleton of Brockhampton
m. Agnes Croftes (sister of Sir Richard & dau of William Croftes by Margaret Walwin)
