I can tell you that John Hoord (1378-1398) held the manor of Hordley, near Cotton. The estate passed to his daughter Margaret Jane Hoord who married Griffinus Kynaston, the creating the Kynaston's of Hordley dynasty.

John Hoord's ancestry can be traced back to Henry de Hoord (c.1200).

It is likely that if you have found the name Hoord in the North Shropshire area, they will be related.

Let me know if I can assist further.

Hi All,

with the help of a lot of others, on this site and elsewhere, I now have, I think, a clear link from the Richards/Jones families of Loppington to Humphrey Kynaston of Myddle - the summary is as follows:

Principal                                   Spouse

Humphrey Kynaston c1468     Margred ferch Williams c1465 (or poss
                                                                                  Elsbet ferch Maredudd)
Edward Kynaston c1515       Margaretta Lloyd c1515
Richard Kynaston c1543        Margaret Twyford c1543
Edward Kynaston c1620        Mary Jeffries c1620
Edward Kynaston c1643        Mary Griffiths c1647
Edward Kynaston c1673       Mary Millward c1675
Edward Kynaston c1701      Jane Dicken c1706
Edward Kynaston c1735     Mary Bellis c1724
Mary Kynaston c1762        Arthur Jones c1763
Hannah Jones c1787        Edward Richards c1781

I'm 99% sure that this is correct, but if anyone has evidence to the contrary, I'd like to hear it.

Hi Ray, I can't figure out how to email on this site so drop me a line at (*) and we can compare notes.

Cheers, Ian
