We first prepared this page using Maddison who shows a section with 3 generations before starting the main pedigree with Edward, Mayor of Lincoln in 1492 & 1505. The implication was that those earlier generations were connected to the main pedigree but that Maddison did not know exactly how. We reviewed the page on 18.03.21 using MGH which provides earlier generations for that Edward but with no mention of the early generations given by Maddison. We are suspicious of the early generations provided by MGH but do not want to lose sight of them. Accordingly, we show them in the following section but give precedence to Maddison's work in the lower section.
