Wingfield and Edward 1st connection?
This page illustrates firstly, that a combination of the records we have and what is more and more available on the internet, provides a huge amount of data on heritage. Secondly, that if you go far enough back, you can probably find a common ancestor for any two people, it is a matter of how far you have to go back. In this case, we can go back quite a long way, with some questionable assumptions and reach Edward I.
The blood line in these pedigrees from the earliest Wingfield and Edward I to Packington Hardings is shown in red font.
Generation numbers here are 20 higher than in the main Harding of Packington pedigree. They connect in 1807 at generation 27 (ie 7 in the Harding of Packington pedigree) when Charles Harding 1782-1868 married Ellen Willock 1807-1872
There are 5 overlapping pedigrees shown. A. “Royal” and B. “Wingfield ancient”. They meet in 1421 when Sir Robert Wingfield of Letheringham, Suffolk 1403-c1452 married Elizabeth Gousell, a descendant of Edward 1. Pedigree C “Wars of the Roses” shows Sir Robert and Elizabeth Wingfield’s descendants for three generations when the Wingfield family seemed to have been connected to many of the most interesting historical figures involved in the War of Roses. It goes through to when we can be less sure of our facts. Pedigree D. “Burkes Commoners” starts around 1450. From the point of view of verification, this is the Dark Ages with the pedigree using less reliable sources such as Burkes Commoners and some longhand pedigrees found in our archives. Extracts from the Genie website recently found on the internet seem to support our records but they may also be relying on the entries in Burkes Commoners. Pedigree D ends at Ellen Willock who married Charles Harding in 1807. E “Verifiable” summarises the period in the main Harding of Packington pedigree starting with Ellen Willock who married Charles Harding to the present day.
PEDIGREE A “Royal”
This pedigree goes from Edward 1 to Elizabeth Goushill or Gousell 1404-1491 who married in 1421 Sir Robert Wingfield of Letheringham, Suffolk 1403-c1452. Generation numbering is 20 higher than in the Harding of Packington detailed tree. Thus generation 11 here is Edward 1 whereas generation 1 in the Harding of Packington tree is 20 generations later ie Richard Harding the Elder who died in 1653.

The marriage made him an uncle-by-marriage to Queen consort Elizabeth of York and her husband Henry VII.
He was made Lord Deputy of Calais in 1511. With Sir Edward Poynings and others he was sent in 1512 to arrange a Holy League between Pope Julius II, the English king and other European sovereigns.
In 1514, Wingfield was sent to the Netherlands in order to attempt the arrangement of a marriage between Archduke Charles of Austria and Princess Mary Tudor of England, to secure a dynastic alliance between the Tudors and the rising Habsburgs. But Wingfield's mission failed, and Mary Tudor was married to Louis XII of France in 1514. Wingfield was also occupied in discharging his duties at Calais, but in 1519 he resigned his post there and returned to England.
In 1520, Wingfield was appointed ambassador to the court of Francis I of France. He is known to have helped to arrange the meeting between Henry VIII of England and Francis at the Field of the Cloth of Gold. He twice visited Emperor Charles V in 1521 in an effort to convince him against declaring war on Francis I.
Henry VIII created him a Knight of the Garter in 1522. The future Ferdinand I, Holy Roman Emperor was the only other Knight created during that year. Wingfield was made Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster in 1524. For his services Wingfield was granted lands throughout the Kingdom of England, notably Kimbolton Castle which was further expanded by him.
In 1525 Wingfield was sent by Henry VIII on a mission to the Spanish court at Toledo. He died there on 22 July 1525 and was buried at the church of San Juan de los Reyes. His widow was later married first to Sir Nicholas Harvey of Ickworth and secondly to Sir Robert Tyrwhitt of Kettleby;

This extract from Burkes Commoners is of interest “Anthony Wingfield of Glossop, in the county of Derby is called in the family pedigree (we quote Blakeway’s Sheriffs of Salop) sixth son of Sir Robert Wingfield of Letheringham, and consequently uncle to the 12 brothers. Mr Anstis states the sixth son of Sir Robert to be Sir Henry who was seated at Orford and we have a very full account of the will of William Wingfield, Sir Robert’s fifth son, in which he mentions his brother Thomas, his nephews and niece, Humphrey, Robert, and Anne, and others, and his great nephew, Edmund; but gives no hint of any brother. But Sir Henry of Orford aforesaid, had a son, Robert Wingfield, of Upton the parish of Castre, in the county of Northampton, ancestor of the Wingfields of Upton, Orford, and of Tickencote, in Rutlandshire, and he may have been father of Anthony.
One of their children was -

PEDIGREE D. “Burkes Commoners”
Pedigrees B and C can generally be verified by reference to Wikipedia and similar sources on the internet.
Pedigree D, on the other hand is mainly from longhand documents in the Harding archives often supported by – and probably originating from - “A genealogical and heraldic History of the Commoners of Great Britain, Volume 2, sections on the Wingfield family”.
It ends at a point where we can be fairly sure of our facts and Pedigree E takes over.
It is the hardest section to verify and could include some heroic assumptions made by Harding ancestors and others and the challenge is to verify it – or otherwise! Recent entries on the Geni site shown to be managed by Marcelo Tomas Rubio Dummer (probably Chilean), are highlighted in yellow and in square brackets below. This is a link to one of them.

Its starting point is Charles Harding 1782-1868 who is shown as 6.4, being the 4th child of William Quartus Harding who was generation 6, Charles therefore being generation 7 - the equivalent of generation 27 in Pedigree D as pedigrees A to D have numbers that are 20 higher.
