This family is of great
interest to us as it links to both the Walder and Dumbrell lines and was
reasonably prosperous.
A first look at the IGI returned a host
of variations and it soon became clear that all the branches would have
to be verified to be sure of the right connections.
Two family groups began to emerge and the
race was on to get everybody in their proper places.
The acquisition of a number of wills has
improved our confidence in the data, but there are still a lot of
avenues to explore to fill in the background.
Nevertheless, we thought it worthwhile to
present the 'work in progess'.

| We have also enjoyed
trying to place the family and it's connections in the context of the
map of the Horsham Survey of 1611 |
Horsham Parish Church
where most the action took place. If the 1611 map is right the artist
was working very near to the site of the Burgage of 'Patchings'. See
opposite. |
