death certificates, birth, baptism, marriage or death registers, census
records, extracted entries from the IGI (International Genealogical Index) & military records and/or printed publications. (lm) = Lynda's maternal ancestors (c1m + c2m)You'll notice a code after the surname on family pages, e.g. (c2p). These codes relate to the tree the name belongs to, i.e. - (lp) = Lynda's paternal ancestors (c1m + c2m) Purple text means the people are kin or related by marriage. Italicised names & data in green means the information is probable but not verified. These are the results of Internet sleuthing. Like the names mentioned below, they're included as a prompt for further research. Italicised names & data in blue means the information is possible but not verified. The names, dates and locations of one verified married couple in the late 1600s lead to these early branches being investigated. Being 'gentry', it wasn't difficult to find their family trees and other information in printed publications. This information should be treated with caution, especially the earlier generations. It has been obtained from other sources' family trees, printed publications and the IGI. Sources have been added where applicable. | ![]()
