To a very distant Cousin

I was never very good at school at working on family relationships, so goodness knows how many 'removes' we are!

My Austins go back from Mary b 1686 to Henry b 1350 but  after that, the link to Edward III b 1312 is a little more tenuous!

Do you live anywhere near Rutland?

Best wishes, John

Sorry Gary, the Austens only occur in my mother's father's family tree priot to 1688.
Best of luck, John

I have similar connections to the Lumleys from Ovingham / Ryton, in Durham.

Richard Lumley b 1620 (Ryton) was my wife's father's great x 7 grandfather. He was married to "Gracie" Dodd in Ryton on the 11th May 1647.

In following this line back, I end up with George Lumley (b 1550) who married Anne Blakiston (who inherited the Gibside Estate (Durham)) and the Blakiston line ends with Hugo b circa 1288.

If you need any more information ... do reply.

I am researching my mother's family tree and have found ancestors living near Leeds, in Barwick in Elmet. My great (x12) grandfather was a William MAWSON born in 1540. All the family tree information appears to have his father (another William) being born in 1510 in Lincolnshire circa 45 miles east around Kettleby. There appears no good reason for this change in location, and worryingly the William born in 1510 has a wife, Elizabeth Tyrwhitt, who was born and died in Lincolnshire, making the birth of her offspring near Leeds most unlikely.
Baptisms start being recorded in Barwick in Elmet after 1600, with the Church register starting in 1653, so there appears no way of corroborating other's family trees.

Can anyone please help?  Thanks, John

Hi Lisa

"The link" was with the Roots topic, not an internet link. As my ancestors were a long way back, I was just interested if anyone else had the same connections.

Regards, John
