Families covered: Dykes of Wardhall
| This family is reported as having originated from the region near Hadrian's Wall, or Dyke, from whence it took its name, having been located at Dykesfield in Cumberland prior to the Norman Conquest. The first 3 generations are as reported in Commoners but, as they are not mentioned in BLG1952, may be doubtful. | |||||||||||||||
