Families covered: Waller of Groombridge, Waller (Valer) of Hockerton, Waller of Old Stoke
| This family has obviously been the subject of much investigation by various descendants for there are a number of web sites that provide information on it, some of the sites being quite impressive. BIFR1976 starts with the following William. As it shows a different father for the Thomas who married Christina or Christian Chassunt, and as BP1934 confirms that Henry of Hockerton, brother of David, Master of the Rolls, was ancestor of the later family, we give precedence to what is shown on various web sites but record what BIFR reports to preserve that data, albeit in blue to signify its subsidiarity. | |||||||||||||||

| ((A)) | John Waller of Groombridge (b 1363, d 1420) - continued below | ||||||||||||||
| m. Margaret (dau of Thomas Lansdall or Langsdall or Laudsdale) | |||||||||||||||
| BIFR1976 suggests that John's wife was called Mary and that it was John's brother who married her sister Margaret Langsdall and inherited Langsdall. | |||||||||||||||
|
|||||||||||||||
| John Waller of Groombridge (b 1363, d 1420) - continued above | |||||||||||||||
| BIFR1976 identifies this John as of Speldhurst. Groombridge is near the village of Speldhurst, Kent. | |||||||||||||||
| m. Margaret (dau of Thomas Lansdall or Langsdall or Laudsdale of that place) | |||||||||||||||
| 1. | Sir Richard Waller of Speldhurst, Sheriff of Kent (b 1395, d 1462) | ||||||||||||||
| m. Silvia or Margaret Grundy or Gulby | |||||||||||||||
| BLG1886 (Waller of Farmington), which identifies Sir Richard's wife as Silvia Gundy (whereas several web sites name her as Margaret Grundy, BIFR1976 calls her Magdalene Gulbye, and Visitation (Kent) identifies her as _ Gulby), reports 2 sons for Sir Richard, Richard and John (who married Joan Whetenhall), but it looks as though that John was son of an intervening Sir William Waller not mentioned by BLG1886 or Visitation (Kent) or Berry. Lipscomb starts with Richard (m. _ Gulby) father of Richard (m. Alice Brudenell), Alice & John father (by Anne Whetenall) of William of Speldhurst (m. Anne Falconer). The web sites are reasonably (albeit not completely) consistent in what they show for the next generation, and BP1934 (Waller) identifies Sir Richard's sucessor John as his grandson, so it appears that BLG1886 (and BIFR1976 & Lipscomb & Berry) missed out ... | |||||||||||||||
