Title: de Rodes burials, Horncastle area
Post by: donmatson on Monday 22 February 10 18:59 GMT (UK)

Does anyone know where the early de Rodes family in medieval era 1100-1400's were buried at in the Horncastle area?  Is there anywhere online that I could find this info., pictures, & map?
Thank you
Don in U.S.A.

Dear Don
I am researching my family history and one set of my 5th gr grandparents are Elizabeth Rhodes and John Green.  Both were born in 1752 in Thornton Horncastle. 

I wonder f she is from the de Rhodes you mention?  Do you have more info on your family?

I assume you have already seen these registers - a bit later starting 1559 and in Latin with scratchy writing - so hard work.  http://www.lincstothepast.com/Records/RecordDisplayTranscript.aspx?oid=708979&iid=128045

I guess my Rhodes - who married in to a humble hearth may not have been from the noble family BUT on the otherhand it could have been be a Tess of the D'Urbervilles situation.
