Families covered: Tempest of Bracewell, Tempest of Hertford, Tempest of Holmside, Tempest of Stella, Tempest of Studley
| This family provides an interesting example of how contradictory some sources can be. Burke's Commoners and the Visitations sometimes contradict each other but sometimes we ignore both and follow the article in BLG1952 which appears to be a major effort to correct previous information. | |||||||||||||||
