Families covered: Sleigh of Ashe, Sleigh of Bigging Grange, Sleigh of Pilsbury, Sleigh of Stockton
| Visitation (Derbyshire, 1662) starts with Gervaise of Ashe, identified as son of Hugh of Pilsbury. Visitation (London, 1634) starts with Hugh of Pillesbury father of Ralfe. The coats of arms shown in the Visitations (described in the Derbyshire one as 'Gules, a chevron between three owls argent') indicate that they were covering the same family. Having regard to the dates, we speculate that the Hugh mentioned in the London Visitation was father of the one mentioned in the Derbyshire Visitation. | |||||||||||||||
