with Forden, and probably, through intermarriage with
one of the Lloyds of Great and Little Hem, obtained
a domicile in the latter. We find " Georgius Whit-
tingham de Forden, gen.", on a county grand jury in
the 44th Eliz. He was probably of the Whittinghams
of Court Caldemore, near Montgomery. Edward
Whittingham, father of William Whittingham of
Court Caldemore, called a member of the Inner Temple
in 1627, was probably a brother of George. The latter
is probably the George Whittingham who was married
at Forden 18th February 1601, to "Catherine Lloyde".
" Johes Whittingham de Little Hemme, ar.", was a
juror 10th October 1661, steward to Edward Purcell
for his manor of Over Gorther in 1648, and on the roll
of county magistrates 14 and 16 Charles II.
10th September 1636, is the date of a marriage set-
tlement of John Whittingham and Mary Purcell. 1
The name of Whittingham occurs several times after
this, during the remainder of the century. Consider-
ing the number of times there were births in the
family, it is a wonder that there is not a remnant of
the name in the parish, but it is obsolete.
This Kilkewydd family must not be confounded with
another man named Whittingham, who was such a
universal witness to the marriages in Forden Church,
that the rational inference to be drawn is, that he
acted as parish clerk.
