Would anyone be able to look up volume 2 and page 1654 of Mosley, Charles, editor. Burke's Peerage, Baronetage & Knightage, 107th edition, 3 volumes. Wilmington, Delaware, U.S.A.: Burke's Peerage (Genealogical Books) Ltd, 2003.
On this page it should have details of various Greenwells of Wolsingham. Any useful information pre 1600 would be much appreciated.
In addition, does anyone have any other information about various Greenwells in Wolsingham? The names of interest are Anthony, Peter, Lawrence and John, all before 1600.

Punctuation as in original. As we're now well into the 1600's I shall stop there, but it goes right up to the present Baronet.
Hope this helps
