| (1) At a time when we are trying to reduce the number of pages in the 'Draft & Temporary' section of the database, we produce this page as Draft because 3 of the 5 sections are not connected to elsewhere in the database but we nevertheless wish to include them in the hope of finding connections in due course. Note that the first 2 of the sections may contain ancestors of those in the other sections. (2) BLG1863, which supports the 3rd section below, provides a suggestion as to the origin of the family. (3) The first as-yet unconnected section comes from 'The History and Antiquities of the County of Northampton' (George Baker, vol 1, 1830, 'Wale of Eydon', p502) which identifies the family's arms as "Or, a lion rampant Gules". |

| The second as-yet unconnected section comes from 'The History and Antiquities of the County of Northampton' (George Baker, vol 2, 1841, 'Wale of Wedon Pinkeney, p108) which identifies the family's arms as "Or, a lion rampant Gules".

| The third section comes partly from Wikipedia ("Charles Wale") and partly from BLG1863 ('Wale of Shelford') which reports as follows: "The monuments in Little Shelford church trace the family through six generations in lineal descent from Thomas Wale of Bardfield Hall, co. Essex, in the time of the Commonwealth, where the family formerly had estates. Some records exist respecting them at Badwinter, Wimbish, and Earls Colne. More remotely the family possessed estates at Weedon Pinxkney, co. Northampton. Their ancestor Sir Thomas Wale was one of the first knights of the Garter. The family whose original name was Duval came over from Normandy at the time of the Conquest." | |||||||||||||||

| The following comes from Visitation (London, 1664, 'Wale') and Le Neve's 'Pedigrees of the Knights' (1696, edited by George Marshall 1873, p46). Visitation identifies the arms as "argent, on a cross sable a cinquefoil or" which suggests that there was no known connection to the earlier Wale families shown above. | |||||||||||||||
