[This page was first launched on 04.03.16 as a section of a Temporary page. It was moved here after review led to acceptance that there was little chance of our making a significant improvement to it in the near future and that it was 'good enough' to be promoted into the main database.]
| Hunter reports (in FMG) that the following comes from the Visitations (to Derbyshire) of 1634 & 1662 with additions from the Register at Eckington and also Visitation (St. George, London, 1687) but adds "This pedigree needs revision". | |||||||||||||||
