| The following was previously shown as the lower section of Clapham1. It was moved here when we showed an alternative pedigree for the following Thomas in that page, taken from FMG. We have not fully reviewed the following with FMG but, except as shown below (for the later generations, see ## below), have left it largely as it was before we looked at FMG (which is not fully consistent with it), because we are not convinced that it adds much that can be relied on, particularly for the earlier generations. Apart from those later generations, we have added a few notes and some dates from FMG which might be useful, showing them in red or in italics. | |||||||||||||||
