Families covered: Henn of Paradise Hill, Hene of Winkfield (Wingfield)

                               
(1) Whilst Visitation, BEB1844 & TCB spell the family name as 'Hene' throughout except that, for the 1st Baronet, BEB1844 uses 'Henne' and TCB uses 'Henn'.
(2) BEB1844 neither shows nor describes the coat of arms of the following family. Visitation shows an image of the family arms that includes a lion rampant and a canton of the last containung an open hand and a fesse on which there is a crescent, possibly that being a difference.

(1) The following section was originally launched on 08.01.13 as a section within HZmisc07, then being based on BLGI1912 & BIFR1976. It was moved here to accompany the section shown above.
(2) BLG1879 reports that the following Thomas "is said to have been a cadet of the baronetical family of Henn of Berkshire", which suggests that he was connected to the family shown above. BLG1879 identifies the family coat of arms as "Gu., a lion rampant arg. on a canton of the last a wolf pass. sa." which supports the possibility of there being some connection with the above family albeit one that was possibly not very close.
